Yo screaming fans. We are having tons of fun so far on tour. My iphoto is being weird, so I will try to deal with that later and post a bunch of pictures and tell stories about those pictures.

We hope everyone is doing well! Just wanted to make a post and let everyone know that everything is going great so far. Will post again soon. I promise.

Sorry this post is a tad late. We're lazy. And busy. Whatever.

We're playing with Down With The Woo at The 40 Watt in Athens, GA on Thursday. We will have a special guest (Ahem, Brian Risse) playing trumpet on a few songs. This is gonna be fun. Come and see it.

Hey! We're playing a show this Saturday (St. Patrick's Day!) in Savannah, where they dye the river green, at Guitar Bar. It will be fun. If you're going to be there, you should attend. If you're not going to be there, you should be there.

Last night and this morning were full of tears. DC (well, technically Arlington, VA) was our last stop on the tour, and the show was just Happy Birthday Amy and us. We played at this really great restaurant/bar called Galaxy Hut. Before that, we met up with Emily’s cousin, Collin and her fiance Amir for dinner. It’s been so nice to be able to see people that we love and don’t see very often.



( Last show of the tour :( )

This morning we said goodbye to Sandra and Nick, and now we’re on the road to Washington DC (aka, Arlington, VA) to play a show. Man. Boston likes to give us free shit. We went to this coffee shop Thursday, and they gave us this huge bag of free bagels. I ordered a biscotti, and the dude was like, “do you guys want some free bagels? I have a ton.” Uhhhh... YES. Then, when I paid for my biscotti, I noticed there were 2 in my bag, so he gave me a free biscotti. And, Emily wasn’t charged for her coffee. Maybe they sensed that we were broke, or something. Anyway, that was cool.

Yesterday was our off day, so we all spent the day in Boston with Sandra (except for Kari. She stayed in NYC with HBA and their friends).

Sandra made us amazing heart shaped vegan food.
