well, really, it isn't, but we do love them both.

our show at blue in portland was great! the food was good and the people were nice. i got to see a lot of old friends and also make some new ones! this trip was a great idea, there's no other way i would have gotten to catch up with so many of my friends! we stayed in portland with old roommate, mikey v, and old friend, jessy. coop went to hang out with his friend, scott, who drove from VT! i didn't lay down until the sun came up. what a night!

we then drove to the capital of vermont. so pretty. i can't really describe it, its too pretty. we drove through the white mountains and arrived at the gig in enough time to explore a bit and have something to drink. the people we met in vermont have been some of the nicest folks i've ever come across. at set break this girl, who we'll come to know as sara, recognized coop from johnson city and invited us to come and stay at her house. thanks sara! she lived in a super cool old farm house in the middle of nowhere that had a steam bath and a trampoline!

whew... there's too much to tell everything thats happened in the last few days.

last night we stayed at the Governor's Inn in rochester NH, and we also played there! again, the people were great and we had a fabulous time! we got to sleep in, and relax most of the day before we headed to portsmouth NH for a radio show. i tell you, thats the longest radio show i've ever played on. we hung out with doug for his entire program... which was about 2 hours long!

after that we went and had some delicious food and perused the awesome record store across the street and got a few selections.

now we're in MA at old time dave's house playing with all the novelty items he found at the dump and in the recesses of his parent's house. pretty cool. he has this thing called an omnichord... its a weird electronic all in one kinda instrument. and an electric back massager from the 50's that essentially just vibrates your back until you're numb all over.

ok, i tried to get it all in, and i'll try to write more frequently next time!

stay thirsty, my friends,

ashleigh
