A lil puppy-love after our unloved show
On tour with Lee, always a blastNumber of Alex posts today: 2
Yesterday was easily the most weird day of tour for me. That or it was the most alcohol I have consumed in one day on tour. Either way, it's a good possibilty that we should not get into town too many hours before we're gonna play. It's like that saying "idle hands are the devils tool." cept, replace hands with alexs. It seems that throwing large sticks at a beehive located above our van is not a good idea to anyone but me. Whoda thunk
Packed with Noahmade sammiches, we went for a drive to Charolette NC. After finding the club we were to play that night, we decided that it would be a better to leave that area asap and head for record/thrift stores all day. We visted five or six shops with only minimal amounts of finds.I'm prolly not gonna list em all but, Dan: An Archies record a Tommy Roe one - Sean: a Reunion 7" - Brian: A beatles 7" with a nice cover - Lee: A NRBQ record at LunchBox records aka home of the Jerks - Me: a few 7"s, 1910 Fruitgum Co. an Ottis Redding one and a Dwight Twilley record. Also, Brian has bought another coat. Everyone shook their heads and sighed when he came out with it. Funny little jacket-wearing kitty. Also, I can honestly say, I've never smelt anything worse on Dan than the jacket he got yesterday. Dan also pointed out that you can't haggle down a couple bucks at thrift stores in north carolina for phrases like the following pop outta peoples mouths- "Priced in the back" "We NEVER do that" "I'm a big jerk" The last one I just assume they say often.
Peoples were pretty hungry after the long haul that is thrifting so we went to a burger joint. Dan and I made pb&j sammiches while the others ordered to go. Next we drove around looking for a liquor store, for we decided to sit on some nice grassy lot located next to the club for the following two hours. Alcohol found/Area located/Old-broken down bus marked on. We guys sat around talking, laughing, eating and drining for a bit. Good times, good times.
