So, last night we played the Empty Bottle in Chicago. We left Columbus at about 11:30...arrived in Chicago at about 5:30. We stopped in Chalmers...crazy. Chalmers is a chick magnet. weird. So, we got to The Empty Bottle and loaded in all our gear and waited for about 5 hours to play. They have a private band room, free drinks, a hell of a sound system.

National Tryst played a more organic set than they usually do? It was good. Very chilled out. Del Rey was fucking amazing. Great band. Great Sound...two drummers. They should play with Brainbow in Columbus.
Dave Fischoff showed up. he brought us a gift-his new record out on Secretly Canadian. Then Dave Schalliol an old friend showed up along with Erika and her friend. John Thompson who wrote an amazing review for the show also came out...also got denied access. Our old roadie Steve Carey and his roommate drove from Bowling Green Ohio to come out to the show to find out that they couldn't get in without being 21. we felt terrible and got them in for our set. Then they invited us back to their hotel room but didn't give us the room number. So, we slept in the van...cold...cold...Sean got a call from Steve and slept in the hotel room at 4:30 in the morning. The real men stayed in the van...

anyways...now showers and denny's then dubuque.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show...everyone we met.
