sneakersOur first show and my first time at this "downtown" bar. Which isn't really in downtown. It's on the outskirts of downtown, on the border of L.A. and Glendale. Pretty good set that didn't completely kill me at the end. Probably because it included our two " ( Read more... )

I'm ridiculously tired. Just got back from rehearsal. For some reason, I wasn't feeling it. I just changed the drum head on my snare drum and for some reason, it doesn't sound very good.
