In the topsy-turvy world of rock having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful

But not in the morning, unless you course you have socks on and you are in your bunk trying not to distract yourself while writing a blog.

Well we’ve just played two of the sweatiest clubs ever. The best part of doing shows like that is the stink that comes with it. Oh and the lack of showers. It’s a glamorous lifestyle I gotta tell ya. I fell like the swamp man super hero. But these past two shows where also recorded live and sold as soon as the band got off stage. Well about 10 mins after they got off stage.

Things that help class up a rather dismal dressing room, like the past two, is this bad ass entertainment system we built for this tour. It’s pretty rad. The recent Mortal Combat took Dale and Shaun about 6 hours a day for a week to beat the last guy. Sorry to all those who waited for them to show up to the meet and greet. Oopsies.

Besides the game playing we got to watch two of the BEST documentaries ever; The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia and This is Spinal Tap. I can’t wait until the show in Parkersburg, WV. I wanna see them there in the front row. Speaking of Spinal Tap tomorrow is our last day off until Toronto. That’s 2 weeks away. Nothing like the excitement and press around release week! One week away. So you better go buy it. I need another gold record to store in my closet to gather dust. Also we’ll be doing a surprise show in Greenwich Village at the Electric Banana.
