I got that itch to keep touring... maybe someday i'll grow up

So i'm sitting at the Syracuse airport waiting for my vacation flight since tour was canceled and I can't go back to work, and going over some of the plans for the next Andrea Doria quest for failure. Actually, no i need to stop that. Someone told me that the reason we keep having the luck of the guy who got hit by a comet after getting struck by lightening twice is because we keep putting out our negative, sarcastic, depressing vibe. Not to get too super hippy-ish, but matt and i were sitting at denny's drowning our sorrows in breakfast burritos and maple syrup and going over our karma for the last few months. The conversation went something like "was it somehting bad that i did? did i wrong that guy??"... "no that guy had it coming to him. why are we in a rut?" So in attempts to get things going again and keep the frowns to a minimum, we're working this new angle.

Step 1: Matt is looking into a new van. Since naming all of our possessions after things that blow up, sink, or other wise sell your crushed dreams on the black market hasn't been panning out, i am campaigning that we name the new van "The Great White Hope"

Step 2: Weekend tours are in order! So when i got home and had my little moping spree, I got an email form the band Seen It All from Buffalo asking us to come play with them in Buffalo on August 29th. So that's in order, and we're looking for a show in Rochester on August 28th. We're also venturing down to Long Island August 8th to party and play. And there's a small college weekend tour in the works for early September that will include Manhattanville College, and hopefully some southern NY colleges. And of course those adventures will be updated here. Lets get rowdy and live to regret some things!!

Step 3: profit from underpants

Step 4: New songwriting spree, and plans for a winter release. Nothing is set in stone yet, but there will be more fun ahead. So tell your friends to follow this blog (because it makes me feel like i have real friends ourside the internet) and our myspace, and come hang out with us at a show or 2.

...and whoever thought i'd be giving myself a pep talk online to be optimistic because i play guitar
