I’m typing this in the back seat of the ‘Dork Mobile’ sandwiched amongst all our gear…on our way to Boston.  It’s 2:51pm.  We’re listening to The Streets.  Jordan is driving, because, well, I still don’t know how to drive standard, and Brandon is sleeping in the front because, because, well, he’s been sick a few times already this morning.

Our gig last night in the lower-east-side of Manhattan, ended up being at a Transexual Club that, beyond the expected wigs and perfectly groomed faces, had a dedicated balloon maker, who has spent the past year of his life to learning how to make the perfect penis balloon – he’s actually quite impressive.  He was adverse enough to make both circumsized and uncircumsized versions.

We jammed out with our buddies from Sad Ladders…and eventually had to end the set because Brandon went missing and I forgot how to play the piano.

* We just took a food break, thanks Elkhan for the tasty pasta…now I’m sitting in the front and we’re trying to introduce Brandon to Les Mis, but he’s sleeping again – this time in the back.

* Okay, I ended up falling asleep too…then things got crazy…we’re leaving Moncton now and are way to Halifax for our last show tonight…but I can’t tell these stories because they’re part of Vol. 2.  Sorry!

Montreal Gig =

Need to learn how to speak English in a French accent

Also, learn how to properly hit your cymbal, because it too needs to be hit with a French accent

Having good friends that put you up in the Fairmont equals a shower the next morning

Watch out for Brandon sneaking drinks outside of the rounds

Quebec City Gig =

A French Drummer adds the perfect amount of grease to your music, and will say things like, “that is the shit of horse”…

The band This and Beyond, has something special going on, and their fans are kick-ass

12 drinks for 18 dollars is fun, but don’t plan to drive back to Montreal after the gig

Just listen to a psychic after your gig for 20 minutes if she has a Hot Daughter

New York Gig #1 =

Waking up to babies the next morning in the place you ended up crashing in is scary!

Changing your underwear after three days is also scary!

There is a reason why Four Loko is banned in the States…

New York Gig #2 =

Don’t be afraid to introduce yourselves as another band if you’re not playing so hot that night.

Get the parking place to write directions to their lot, because you’ll forget where you parked in Manhattan the next morning

The Cock is definitely a gay bar, don’t let your bandmates let you go there alone when it’s an open bar.

And don’t let Brandon drink Gatorade the next morning…not good!

There’s a lot more to tell, but my laziness and the fact that my Mom still reads this is making me end here…I need a nap.  Hit us up if you want all the stories…we’ll tell you them over drinks after a show.
