Recapping last two days

We trekked over to New York bright and early and met up with two friends Zara and Matt. They had just bought a new house and the place was incredible. They showed us around and we chatted for a bit before heading up to New York where they were joining us as Sinister and Smiley. I just met them that day and they were really cool people. Matt was a sound engineer and Zara worked in visuals/video. They met working on The Blue Man Group.

We left for Aurora, NY before they did. On the way up there the snow started coming down in fits. It's pretty cool. It had been te first time I've stepped in snow in years! Definitely a treat.

We got to Wells College by sundown and had trouble finding the place we were to be at and had trouble getting a hold of the booker. The place looked like something straight from some Ivy League school that you see in the movies. Old buildings and architecture. I had to take a picture in my Napoleaon pose. I couldn't help it.

If it wasn't for Zara we probably wouldn't have found it in time. She found some helpful people and we were on our way. There was no PA in sight and by the time we got it up and running they only had one mic for the 4 of us. That wasn't going to work so we got Tiff's PA out. Luckily. The crowd was a lot of fun. Very receptive. Sinister and Smiley were awesome singing some traditional folk and bluegrass tunes. Tiff rocked as usual and felt pretty good about my set.

After we met some fans and took some pics and signed autographs. They were such great people! It's always fun getting to chat with new people out and about.

By the time the show was over we grabbed a bite, said goodbye to Matt and Zara and headed to the room thy reserved for us at the school. Get this, it was called The Profits Chamber! Awesome! We went to the security guard and he gave us long winded directions. We left with our skeleton key they give us (kick ass!) and went on our adventure to find this room. When we walked in I swear to you it was like walking into the movie The Shining!! I was creeped the fuck out! So fun! We were wondering around when we heard from the other side of the hallway keys jingling and footsteps. It was the security guard tht had helped us before. Great dude. He was a heavy set man, hair cut close to the scalp, and with the attitude and look of people I've met from Hawaii, which as we found out he spent 15 years in. Anyhow he laughed when he saw us, because he figured we'd get lost. Oncehe showed us to our room I was stunned on how incredible this place looked. Red decor EVERYWHERE!! Felt like a horrors e a mobster movie. I could sleep much because of a runny nose, and I was too scared to go up turn a light in to find a tissue in case a ghost would be staring back at me. No shit.

We slept at midnight and woke up at 4. The van had started to complain, it was bitter cold, and we were tired but determined for our 21 hour drive half way across the continent from New York to Kansas.
