Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted. My apologies. I know the happiness of all my readers depends on my posting at least weekly. I've been lazy. Sorry. Thanksgiving, you know?
Before Thanksgiving too, I was busy. Played in DC and NYC. Rock and Roll Hotel in DC . . . had a great time rocking. What an awesome venue, too. Two levels, very artsy, flying guitars on the ceiling. Thanks to Emily and Elissa (did I spell that right?) for putting us up for the night. Jeremy and Emily cooked us all pancakes for breakfast Sunday morning---even some with bananas and chocolate chips---whilst Daniel White serenaded us with some tunes on the guitar. Guess he was remembering back to his old glory days, you know, when he was a rock star.
He's actually here right now, Daniel White is, keeping busy playing the Nintendo Wii that the Shapiro house just purchased. Yeah, it's sweet, and no, you can't come over and play it. Unless you ask really really nicely. Then I'll think about it. Jeremy will rule you in tennis though. Be forewarned.
Anyways, yes, DC, then NYC. The Annex is an awesome venue with an awesome sound guy (that's you, Andrew). The only un-awesome thing was that they apparently told the other bands that they had a house drumset INCLUDING hardware when they actually did not have any hardware to speak of. So I ended up loaning my hardware to the bands playing after us which meant we didn't leave NYC until after midnight. Got home at 6:00 a.m. I slept a few more hours once we got home, and then got up and went to school.
Skipping Thanksgiving week which was full of eating and sleeping and procrastinating schoolwork . . . Tuesday we did a live radio interview at WNRN and played a few songs acoustically on-air. It went very well; we made Anne Williams feel very awkward, I believe, when we pleaded with her on-air to come to Starr Hill to see our show on Wednesday. Sorry about that, Anne. Thanks for having us on your show, regardless. Also, I achieved my lifelong goal of performing live, on the radio, playing drums with brushes while Nathan played the autoharp. For those of you who missed it, I believe it sounded pretty whimsical. Oh la la.
Starr Hill last night was a blast, as usual. Thanks to Starr Hill for continuing to have us back no matter how much we suck. And to everyone who came out, particularly the Harrisonburgers. Anyone who travelled a great distance.
So tomorrow we play in Blacksburg at Attitudes. It's always fun there. And on Tuesday I must turn in my 15-20 page research paper on Native American literature, a paper that I of course have not started yet. I'm too busy, you know?
