Winter Tour: Part 3

So, after staying at Chuck's (i'm pretty sure that's his name) house, we headed out towards baltimore, md. Our GPS has been fucking up lately so we just used mapquest on eric's phone. We got lost for a few minutes then miraculously found our way back to the highway. It was about an 8 hour drive and I finished the bukowski book.

We met up with Lighten Up which we haven't seen in about a year, and those dudes are awesome. Aneurysm Rats was playing also, which they rule super hard as well. It was going to be a fun show. As we were waiting to play I found a zine by the singer of Die Young in the Charm City Artspace zine library. It was one of the best zines i've ever read and I really want it.

All the bands played awesome, and Aneurysm Rats played a Ram & Ox song which was cool because that band broke up and they were awesome.

We stay at Ev from Mindsets house and "buy" some groceries from a nearby Shoppers. I haven't spent any money on this tour so far, and I've actually made like $7 from selling my zine. Ev is a super nice dude, and so is everyone that lives with him.

We wake up around 10 and goo back to the Shoppers for some more food. Great success! then we checked out the harbor and sang the pokemon theme song, and threw dried cherries at ducks.

We left for NJ around 12. The show was at a place called the Meatlocker, and we had never been there before, and we didn't have our GPS so we were kind of screwed. We drove around for at least an hour looking for it. And at one point we were actually standing outside the venue but didn't realize, and then we drove around for another hour looking for it and calling friends to see if they knew where it was.

We finally found the locker of meat (vegan of course) and loaded in. There was about 3 people there that weren't in bands but our set went well. We got paid $80 so we didn't complain.

We met RJ that is putting out "Escape" on vinyl, after the show. super nice dude. Got a G2 from CVS and headed over to this dudes house for sleep tonight. Supposedly he was going to bring Ari Katz from lifetime to come see us, but he didn't. Weired because we did a lifetime cover! haha

I just did a shit ton of school work, and now it's time to sleep, and get ready for the show tomorrow at Albert's house. NES and siq vegan food is about to go down.
