East Coast

It's been a long week playing, driving, and sleeping on inflatable mattresses the past week. These are some reflections:

- The venue "Spike Hill" in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is great. Nice stage, plenty of room for listeners, and a well placed bar in the same room where people can talk without distracting the show. The whole thing opens up right onto the street so that passers-by can hear what's going on.

- Boston is a fun city, though I imagine it gets really cold in the winter. (however, when I said that to a Bostonian, he responded, "well I guess it gets cold, but you just put a coat on"... touche). Can't wait to get back there.

- Don't bring a car into Boston when it snows

- Fergie's Pub in Philly is a fun venue. Not a real listening crowd and not a great sound system, but a great vibe and a packed house. And amazing nachos. Truly amazing.

- Don't drive through Queens at 4pm on a weekday.

- Taller air mattresses are far more comfortable than less tall air mattresses, but also far more dangerous to roll off of while sleeping.

- Drivers need to stop slowing down to look at the accident that happened in the opposite lane of traffic. It just slows everyone down!!



Today I'm taking a breather before continuing on to Lancaster, PA for my show on Monday. Tell your friends! (I will be dressed in full Amish garb)
