i am on tour with jeff
i am tour with this guy jeff here are the pics we took on his girlfriends camera so far. captions from both of us are behind the cut
Rick: jeff showing me bass parts to his songs in queens new york.
Jeff: Homeboy apparently forgot all the songs because he went to Florida with Mustard Plug and got his memory erased or some shit.
Rick: super jump pine lake park club.
Jeff: This was the first show of tour, in Jersey and properly about a year after Bomb the Music Industry! played our first show ever in the Jerz. We played for like two hours because we thought it would be a good idea to do a full set of Bomb! songs and a full set of Rock and Roll Machine songs. It wasn't. Whatevz.
Rick: the most rascist thing i have ever seen in my life. both jeff and i are bummed.
Jeff: I made a comment about this while I was on stage and I think a bunch of skinheads left. Maybe the music was just shitty.
Rick: nate cohn myspace photo.
Jeff: Nate Cohn is the drummer of Mustard Plug and played the Jersey show with his band Nobody's Favorite. They sound like Motorhead. I don't think a lot of ska kids like Motorhead.
Rick: philadelphia, pa china town waiting for my mock kung pao chicken. wondering if it will be more "authentic"
Jeff: Hey, Long Shot Hero guys... I left these leftovers and half a sandwich in your fridge. You can have it.
Rick: jeff waiting at the same chinese restruant same thoughts going through his brain.
Jeff: This picture was taken before my cell phone started blaring "When The Saints Go Marching In" in the middle of this empty empty restaurant. The staff started laughing at me and singing along. Bummers.
Rick: pleased with my meal. the waitress told me my food would be mega spicy. guess what it wasn't.
Jeff: She really did say "mega spicy." Rick is also allergic to bananas. This picture was taken before he almost ate a deep fried banana thinking it was some other sort of complimentary post-meal dumpling. He spat it out and didn't have to go the hospital. Hurrah.
Rick: jeff also pleased with his meal.
Jeff: There are two pictures of this. Apparently in one of them I look like a monkey. This may or may not be that one.
Rick: the parking spot in philadelphia that took us 1.5 hours to find.
Jeff: We had a show scheduled in Clifton Heights, PA this day. We stayed in Philadelphia about 10 or 15 minutes away if you drove straight there. We wanted to eat food and I got a phone charger too. Thanks in part to this parking spot, it took us FIVE HOURS to drive about 15 miles.
Rick: jeff rosenstock clifton heights, pa.
Rick: our merch space.
Rick: kids freaking out about me giving away some notes i wrote for a mustard plug song/our setlist for the evening.
Rick: more kids freaking out.
Rick: we made all of these shirts in clifton heights, pa
Jeff: We ran out of any paint that would work on dark clothing the night before this, so I asked people to only give us light colored clothing. Most people listened, some people insisted on having their clothes look shitty. People also would get mad when I would just write "Bomb!" on their shirts. Them's the breaks.
Rick: sad jeff doing some pants.
Jeff: For future reference, if you want your pants spraypainted, you're gonna have to get on the table and I'm probably gonna end up touching your ass. I don't wanna do that.
Rick: party westchester, pa
Jeff: It took us about twenty minutes to parallel park in a jumbo jet sized parking spot on this narrow narrow street. It also took us about an hour and a half to get somewhere that was about 30 minutes away. Two Dudes. One Computer. No Sense of Direction.
Rick: PARTY! westchester, pa
Jeff: Someone broke his edge!!!
Rick: this is for all the parents on livejournal. if your kids have this exact picture on their myspace or livejournal, they're sorta douchebags.
Rick: billboard somewhere in virginia. it is tax season.
Rick: matt kurz, his girlfriend, and jeff.
Jeff: This shot is taken before Matt and I drank three free pitchers of free beer, but after the bartender told him "bands don't get shit."
Rick: matt kurz playing five instruments at once.
Jeff: The Matt Kurz One was MIND-BLOWING. After watching his performance, Rick and I decided to call up or e-mail (or in some cases post on a message board hoping someone can get me the promoter's number) all of the promoters on the rest of our tour and try to get him added. He is in the van with us right now and playing on selected dates of the rest of the tour.
Rick: $2.33 is way too much to spend on a pitcher of coca cola classic.
Jeff: Yeah. And it was Diet Coke. NOT WHAT YOU ORDER'D1!!!1!!12!@#!!!4
