The Kawl-fee is great in New Yark!

I think the highlight of the Boston show was seeing a monster raccoon run through the streets and under the deleted scenes van. I freaked out when I saw it and Carlos and I chased into an alley. It was about 24" tall and maybe 3 ft. long. But besides the wildlife, the show was pretty cool. After we played our set, we found out that we had the next night off. So, with mixed emotions, we drove about an hour south of beantown. We found a Rodeway Inn. Patrick pulled a miracle out of his ass by getting us 2 rooms for the price of one. Thanks be to a trucker that had to leave immediately after paying for his room. OK, so we slept like coma victims and woke to a day of driving. Our destination, Manhattan, NYC.
Once we arrive Staten Island, we prepared ourselves for a day of R N R at Tom's parent's house. I will sum up our visit in 1 word. NEEDED. The Annex waits. A bill of 4 bands has packed the house. They were not there for rock, they came for friend rock. Which was bad for us because everyone left after the 2nd band..well almost everyone..

  2. I just wanted to add that all the guys from Deleted Scenes went way out of their way to come into Manhattan and watch us play. It was the only show that they didn't play with us and instead of driving down to Philly, they stopped by The Annex to support us. They fucking rock in my book. If you're reading this, I want to tell you about a show that they are doing in D.C.. It's at Fort Reno. A landmark venue that got it's name from the dc movement in the 80's, bands like Fugazi, Bad Brains, Scream, Fear, Henry Rollins and all types of names have played there. You should come support Deleted Scenes, simply because they are awesome, they fucking rock.And remember..you are the scene, so be the scene. Goto their website for the show date, I think it's like 6-23-07. Do it.

  3. OK, scratch the 6-23-07 date, I was wrong...the Fort Reno show is on 6-18-07 and their dc9 show is on 6-23-07.

  4. I just want to say that New York has got love for the 'flur. Even though you cats don't dress like Interpol, I still want to tear your respective clothes off.

  5. Blake, you & your band rocked my rocks off..I hope the message didn't sound bitter. It's just that NYC can be a little intimidating for a young band..as you may know.
    Can't wait for the D.C. shows & future Brooklyn endeavors.
