Cleveland, Pittsburgh

Hey all!

It's been an amazing couple of days. Cleveland' Beachland was a treat: great stage, super hyped crowd, some guys Dave and Alex from Kent State who taped our show for their college TV station, a cool online magazine writer came out to see us too. Beachland gives you free food and plenty of drink tickets, so we were firing on all cylinders on stage. Can't wait to get back there. We will post the interview and footage from the Kent State boys as soon as they put it up.

Pittsburgh last night was insane at the Lava Lounge. Crowd was fantastic, the space itself is a wierd, mod lava cave with cool twists and turns, hot local Pittsburghers, and strong drinks. Triggers, our host band, were super tight and a great band to dance to. Definitely check them out. My mom, who's from Pittsburgh, came out with my long-lost cousin Kim to see us. We are staying at Joe's friend's Kate who is a great host and super cool girl. She took us for perogies at 3am last night.

TO top it off, I ate some tainted french fries a few hours before the show. I'd been sticking to a vegetarian, non-processed food diet the entire tour and the fries were doom. Ray had a disguisting chili dog at the same shitty bar but it seemed only to bolster his constitution, so I dunno what that says. I felt dizzy the entire set and literally saw stars during the 2nd chorus of Supermarket, so while it was weird it was also transcendental.

ok we have to to hit the road for Detroit but i"Ll write more later.
