We're playing in Bloomington, IN today. They were talking about drinking after the show.
It's weird, I have had no desire to drink since I moved to chicago. It may be a comfort thing (I never fell right drinking unless I'm comfortable with the people I'm around; and I guess aside from Eric, his girlfriend, and Shawn and the drummer of Netherfriends, I don't really know anyone). I have a shit ton of beer/liquour from Lauren's wedding which I'm not complaining about, but I guess I just don't know when I'm going to consume it. Bleh.
Tour is going kind of ridiculously but good. We did a date in Minneapolis, then in Valporaiso, IN. The following night we had a show literally 15 minutes out of Chicago so we just ended up staying at our respective houses that night. Then yesterday we were supposed to play a show in Lansing, MI that Shawn was not at all confident in (other band didn't have a myspace, I guess the venue or whatever is really shitty, etc.) so we just ended up not going to save money since we were already at home (i.e. if we had been on the road somewhere we probably would have just done it). Hilarious.
So we left for Bloomington this morning which we are now referring to as the start of the "real" tour. Sweet.
I did end up seeing Up with Mary which was really good/sad/good again. Save for one horrible plot device or whatever you would call it involving dogs being able to "talk" through a collar voice translator. Kinda cheesy but oh well.
There are a lot of mosquitoes here.
