so much for keeping this updated over tour. i made it home. i'm alive. i've seen a lot of different places. i live in my parents' house for a bit. maybe you'll hear from me again soon.

Three weeks into tour. The house is open in Tupelo, MS and there is under an hour until show. This has been a great and crazy experience. We had a week and a half in Corpus Christi, TX doing rehearsals, did a public dress rehearsal, and then packed up and went to Austin. A couple more days of rehearsal in Austin, a show, and then we hit the road on the bus. Austin to a day off in Lafayette,

The last day of ATP was good. I worked quite a bit that day. Gemma Hayes is hot. I got to see 15 minutes of Mogwai. I loved it. I scored comps to the show the next night in Boston. Too bad the rest of their North American tour was cancelled that night. The drummer had an issue with his pacemaker and they had to call it quits. It's a drag that Fuck Buttons couldn't still just keep tour

I now envy the people staying here, in one sense and one sense only: having your own room to go back to to use the bathroom. After searching around the place on my own I thought I knew where hidden bathroom gems were. Apparently so does everyone else. One bathroom I checked out had a serious hurt put on two of the three stalls. The third, and sole working stall, had the door ripped off its

So, I’ve been through two full days of All Tomorrow’s Parties as well as a day of load-in. I’ll start by talking about the location. ATP is taking place at Kutsher’s Country Club in Monticello (the “c” is soft), NY. The phrase “country club” should really be in quotes. This place is insane. No matter how many descriptions of the place you read, or pictures you see, you cannot get a real

Boy did those plans change fast. I have no idea how this festival/tour thing works so I've been a bit of a pain in the ass about getting information. I called yesterday while I was on my way to get my (sweet) new laptop and they wanted me to come to the shop today and tomorrow to check things out. I said that I needed today to move, but could do it tomorrow. So my father was kind enough to

well, what has gone on? lots. mostly it's been a same stuff, different day kind of thing. i worked 12+ hour days, 6 days a week. sometimes i even worked seven days a week because they would send me to new york on my day off. i have driven to the city many times. one night we burned down a building in pittsfield, without really burning it down. two days before that, an awesome prank was pulled

itunes: dntel - fear of corners i tried to call you three times today. happy birthday. i'm also not disinterested in the fact that you are going to be a father in 2 months. it's just that you are my "little" brother. forgive me for not knowing what the proper reaction is.
