So the next day, which was wednesday, The Gales had off.  In all honesty I can't remember what I did.  probably slept, maybe.  I know their van was impounded which made parking, for them a lot more easier.  i think the rest of the lucas hung out with their lady and guy friends. 

anyway, the next night we played a show that was like the good ol' days.  kathy has some bullshit thing she had to do for work so we had to play with new members.  our friends lawrence and emily had to replace kathy.  oh and we really didn't practice with them.  oh, and we forogt the songs we had to play with them since we practiced a tight set.  oh and did i mention that there was a lot of excessive boozing seeing that the bartenders kept giving us free alcohol.  well thank god it was only in park slope easy enough for all of us to get home.  christy and emily had a huge band, not just the two of them, and they sounded fantastic.  the room really worked well with their space sounding avant folk rock.  our performance, well let's just say, that happened.  and the nightingales were the best i have ever seen them play.  oh i remember getting matt really drunk(it's good to corrupt minors in the states) and andy got to order him a sandwhich since these american condiments are so tricky.  matt's friend cookie showed up the night before so i had two crazy brits staying with me.  i really don't remember leaving this show.  but i do remember the bruise i had from playing tamborine with the nightingales.  y'know the randy c thing where he just invites himself on stage, grabs an instrument and beats it off of his leg.  alcohol the cause and solution to all of life's problems...

so next we were off to boston.  where we played with this great band called "the in out" that our new friend john hooked us and the nightingales up with.

oh good old boston.  i'll think of more to write.  the memory fades sometimes

How much is it worth to dump the video of Union Hall in the Gowanus Canal?

Yeah, c'mon Mr Costanza - git writing. I want to read about Noo Haven!! (Can you hear my phony American accent? Can you?)

Ps Boston sound was shit. Remember (through an alcoholic haze) the totally disinterested sound guy who couldn't even be bothered to turn up until almost gig-time? He put some awful echo-reverb-type shit on the VL vocals so you sounded all 1980s, until Aadam 'had words' with him, that is.

Ah, good times...
