Tuesday, Sept. 28. New York City, NY. The Living Room.

A taxi backed into us on our way back from the show last night, and this morning there was a guy outside on the street screaming, “You’re fucking ridiculous!” at the top of his lungs into a cell phone, so we’re having a proper visit. :) I love it here.

One major pain in the ass: a piece of the blanket we use to cover up our stuff in the back of the van got caught in latch and now we can’t open the back door to unload our stuff. It sucks.

Today I went down to perform at an elementary school near Coney Island called the Brooklyn School of Inquiry. I played a short set for a bunch of cool kindergartners and first and second graders.

Bryan and I found some pizza after that, it was really weird though, exactly like a chicken Caesar salad on a pizza crust. Then we made our way back and went to play the show at Googie’s Lounge above The Living Room. Bryan had to ride in the back so he could hand the gear out over the seat until we could figure out a better way to pack everything.

We played with Steve Bartolomei again and with P.G. Six. I sang a song with Steve. Pat sounded wonderful. We got to play with Max again, which was great fun. Philip used the strings of the white piano to make some sounds.






After the show, Gary and I had some drinks at the Living Room while Bryan, Philip and our friend David went to watch this Italian band we met the night before play at the Cake Shop. We got lost on the way back to Philip’s. The next day we ate at a diner, spent a bunch of time moving the van, met a nice guy at a music store, got stuck in traffic, and generally walked around. Our two days in New York City were great.
