philly on friday

last weekend we went on tour to philly, boston, and providence. on friday i left nyc at 1 pm and eventually rolled into west philly around 7:30 with the band just in time to start playing. we played at a house called the terrordome and it was pretty sweet. aside from the half-assed bathroom under the stairs that i didn't really appreciate (seriously--no real door, just some sliding wooden thing), the place was great. there was a stage and plenty of room to watch the bands in the kitchen/living room area. we played a great set and everyone seemed to appreciate us. it was a great turnout for an early night house show. best house/show vibe we've seen in philly by far.

tanya came all the way from canada just to travel the weekend with us (!) and our friend diana from high school was kind enough to put us up for the night. her house in south philly was the most gorgeously designed place i have ever seen. it smelled like jockey hollow because they had a wood burning stove and old wood floors that had holes through them. it was very colonial and looked like it was taken straight from an anthropologie catalogue. very beautiful and we cannot thank her enough for letting us crash for the night.

then the next morning we piled into the van and drove up to cambridge, massachusetts for our show on saturday night.


this is all of the gear that i carried through nyc, penn station and nj. it doesn't look like alot, but it's a bass guitar in a hard case, guitar, and fully packed bag. packing lite is pretty much impossible.


diana's house, or anthropologie catalogue?
