Oh yeah,
here come the painbirds


To recap, quickly:
- in Richmond I got hit in the head with a lemon slice in-between songs, managed to break two strings during one song, we played a lot of Area 51 (and hope that Brandon never goes on a shoot spree because he'd be a crackshot), a fish was thieved, a smelly shirt was taken by Katie, ate veggie burgers, again, at 3 in the morning
- in Lynchburg we played really well, tried to watch a muted Chapelle's Show, tried to convince Ricky that we were what he "needed," Andy drove us back to Chapel Hill without falling asleep
- in Arlington we were forced to play in our new flat against the stage set up (where the drums take center stage and Andy and I stand to either side), we drank way too much free Yuengling, debated what a fitting Andrew Jackson memorial would look like, got to see a lot of family

Not that I'm the first to report it, but Guided by Voices are breaking up, which surprises and saddens me.
