Fall Tour '09

Richmond, VA

This is our friend Alison who is 'Alison Self' who played a house show with us in her lovely Virginia home.

Old friends embracing.

Our musical traveling partner Rae, or, 'One Tough Cookie' saying hello to a house cat.

It's a stand-off.

Dave and Stu and Williamsburg on our way to get delicious Italian food.

These are all views from Dave's uncles' apartment balcony/fire escape. Beautiful, no?

Goodbye New York.


Detroit, MI
The Trumbullplex. Just your average crumbling mansion.

And just your average across the street crumbling mansion neighbor.
Oh Detroit, I think we have a future together.

what to say in the new year

Well, it's true. I haven't said a thing since June, and I apologize. This is awkward because I am trying to type every so softly while Dave sings earnestly in front of me to record a song we're doing on our upcoming full length. I'm tuning out a little, but there are words that keep turning up: "Cause there's nothing left to say."

"I know as little as one can know"

There are so many lines in the song that are quandaries in themselves.

That's how I've felt for the last 6 months or so. I've had trouble surmising the words to paste up here on this page. I feel like there have been so many transitions for us this year. We finally made one more to start off the new year though. We made a move to a cozy new house with some friends. We'll have Food Not Bombs here, we'll have shows in our shed, (which we've dubbed "The Outhouse"), and we're getting settled in our really comfy attic space which is our new bedroom, music studio, office space, meditation room and library, all in one.
It is indeed out with the old, in with the new this year and a new life has been birthed in this dwelling. It should be just the thing for our time here in Nashville when staying still between tours.
Let's see if we can manage to stay in one place this time for more than 6 months. And I'll try to find some place within me to spout thoughts and words and things that I don't know the meaning of, even if "there's nothing left to say."
