Some news: Dave and I just got back from our very first tour as Chicken Little! It was awesome. And the second big news is that on our trip, we brought with us our new ridiculously cute beagle mutt Roger! Roger is the best dog ever, and we tell him that every day. We rescued him from this amazing woman who started her own rescue foster care called Sugar Mutts Rescue. www.sugarmutts.com. If you know anyone, or if you want to adopt a really sweet, maybe larger dog, this is the place. Roger had already gotten all his shots and everything, so all we had to do was pay her the adoption fee and he was ours. By the way, we took him to a punk show that we played right before tour when we had only had him for 3 days, and here are some pictures of him having a great time. (he's good with the ladies)
And some others:
And here is his beloved monkey.
So Roger actually tagged along with us the entire tour down south, which was both challenging and rewarding. He learned to really trust us, but he also learned he's not so crazy about changing towns every other night. But the tour was great, and we played in various southern towns, including: Philly (played an open mike after our show flaked on us), Asheville, NC (Woot, hometown +amazing show at Firestorm cafe. Visit www.firestormcafe.com), Athens, GA at the Flicker Theater (my brother's town now), Nashville, TN (awesome awesome place. I think I might belong here), Bloomington, IN (horrible lazy, pothead, college burn-out town), Lakewood, Oh (woo hoo! Fuckin' awesome time. Sold lots of cds and made some nice friends, great experience). And Now we're back in the apple. I have to say...it's good to be back. Playing at open mikes, back in a work environment I know and like, and giving Roger a home he loves and wants to stay in. I have to say though, being on tour definitely spoils you. I wish I were performing every other night. But now is the time to really hone our skills. Tighten our songs and get better. But tour taught me so much about being a musician and what I want to be doing. I'll be writing about my trip to Prague with my choir Khorikos as well in October when the time comes.
But until then, hope this wasn't so boring.
I'm a loser and don't have any pictures from tour yet, but here are a few from the Ever Reviled Records show:
So, I will be more committed to this blog thing now. I promise. I'll get those pictures developed from tour, and I will complain about New York no matter how much I love it.
But here's just one last one:
Cute huh?
