Home stretch

We are about an hour away from Brooklyn. Our last show in Athens, OH
was high-energy and fun; we played with the amazing via audio, our
bros motel motel, and locals grade school. Casa cantina is a cool
co-op style mexi joint near the university. Standout of the night was
the sweet hippie-ish woman in the front row who never stopped dancing.
She was adorable and kept it up through the whole set. We ended
with 'I shall be released,' sung in chorus with the motel boys. This
came off better than expected, considering we learned it in the car on
the way to Athens. After the love-in ended, we headed to the hotel.
Today has been spent in the van. We have been passing the time with
arrested development episodes on laptop, making tour videos on imovie,
texting the motel crew to get traffic reports, and studying the good
old-fashioned paper atlas.
Although I am sad to see the tour end, two days of 10-hour drives can
really make a girl miss her own place. And the homecoming show at
Rockwood this Sunday will make us feel like the tour never stopped!
See you soon.

Cheers,
Amy
