Falling on your face in those bad shoes,
lying there like you're tame

I wonder if it makes Brandon extremely jealous or potentially murderous when I say that Evan and I worked the Pixies show here in Raleigh on Sunday night. We stood off stage right, amazed for a number of reasons. They played pretty much every song you wanted to hear, unless Trompe Le Monde is your favorite album. "La La Love You" right at the end. Hott. And Kim Deal, we have a special place in our hearts for her. The whole day had been fairly laid back (the crew bus had broken down leaving Atlanta, so only 3 crew people were there with us setting up for most of the day), so I was hoping just to say hi to at least one member (aside from Dave Lovering, who I started talking to when I noticed drunk people tailgating in the parking lot were annoying him). No such luck, things were pretty rushed as soon as the lights came on. And the room was a nice 95 degrees.
In other news, we're starting to sort of play again as we work on new stuff. We have at least one song pretty much down, got about 5 that we're working on right now. We're playing thursday at King's with My Dear Ella, Permanent Darling had to cancel due to a serious illness in the band. A month from now, we play in Durham, then about a month from that, we go on the road for about 5 days. Good times.
Our house is close to 85 degrees right now, and the news said we're getting to 100 today, meaning the house will get into the 97-105 range, so I am going to start my day (late) and do as much as possible to stay away from the house. G'day.
