The heatwave we've suffered thru all last week finally broke. Hope it doesn't get that hot again for the rest of the year! C'mon Fall!
I met Andy at the ER Friday. I think he suffered a touch of heat exhaustion, but his nerves made it worse. He said he had arm and shoulder pain which is a sympton for a heart attack, but everything...

Black Crowes, Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, PA 7/29/06
Yup, my fifth show in the space of a year. Hope to go to Reading, PA too on 9/8. Anyone wanna go?
I went with the same crew as the 9/30 Tower show last year. My co-worker Suki, her BF Barry, and her son Joey. Last year it was her b-day and Joey's 1st concert, this year the...

Timmy Fridays House Party, North Cape May, NJ 7/28/06
Had to brave a severe T-storm to get there. Luckily the rain didnt hit until we got the stuff in. All I had to bring was my cymbals, but I wound up using my own stands and kick pedal. The rock and roll fan and my own throne are a gimme. Kit didnt sound too bad...

We're still in Room 117 of the Budget Inn. We decided to spend an extra day here since the last show is like 20 minutes away. Yesterday was a nice lazy day of hanging around the motel room. We did step out for an excellent lunch right down the road. Penny and Andy had a "Pittsburgh Cheeseburger", which is...

We're staying at a Budget Inn in Broadman, OH at the last exit before PA. Tonight will be the last show. Can't believe it's already been a week since this whole thing started. I think all these troubles we've faced has made us an even stronger band. It definately has been an adventure.
We finally got let into the...

Triple A came and the driver was knocking on the bottom of the gas tank with a hammer while Andy cranked it over and it started right up! Apparently it's a fuel pump problem. Don't know how many more times we can get away with this technique, but we'll try. After tonight there...

I'm sitting in the bathroom of Room 202 of the Comfort Inn near Grove City, PA right off exit 113 of I-79 South. Yes, it happened. The van broke down yesterday. We had pulled into a Sheetz gas station less than 30 miles from where the show was to gas up. Andy goes to start it and it's just...

Hello from the 2nd highest point in PA., Summit Hill. Here we are at Jonny, Jonny, Jonny & Shannon's house. Still a little sleepy, but well fed after super taco night. Yahoo maps finally let us down by telling us to take a wrong turn on 443 and putting us out of the way for a bit.

I think yesterday was the craziest day yet. We went from being tourists in Kennebunk, ME, to shopping looking to fix my bass drum pedal in Portland, ME, to playing a show in stifling heat, to taking a 3 1/2 hour drive to CT. to stay at Ben from NRL's house only to wind up in the worst traffic...
