Gabe's (Iowa City, IA) - 10/15/2010

Gabe's = good times.

We rolled into Iowa City early enough to take a tour of the town where we saw plenty of running drunkards, upright pianos in the middle of the sidwalks, and spontaneous break dance parties... got some video and pics of this stuff but they didn't turn out so maybe next time.

The show was tons of fun. We shared the bill with Amanda Miller (http://www.myspace.com/khadijaandlexi) and Jake Dilley and the Color Pharmacy (http://www.myspace.com/jakedilley) both acts were peachy.

Got the chance to hang out with the guys from Jake Dilley and the Color Pharmacy after the show...cool dudes.




Also drank a few beers with Paul and Lindberg, the guys who book for Gabe. Was really a pleasure getting to hang out with these guys and talk music.


Huge thanks to both of them for the drinks and hospitality. Can't wait to get back to Iowa City soon.

Bear's Place (Bloomington, IN) - 10/8/2010

Well kinda hard to sum this one up...

The show was tons of fun...and the crowd and staff was awesome.  One "Hairy Bear" and a passed-around glass of moonshine later and things got a bit fuzzy...the blurriness of these pics really adds to the effect I'd say.

Hairy Bear and me making friends

Mike doing.... well something



Once again though Bloomington proves to be a blast and showed us a lot of love.

Special thanks to...

  • Our awesome waitress Kimmi, not only for bringing us drinks but also for joining us for some "No Way Home" tambourine-ing
  • Marissa and Pam for bringing back that pizza and partying with us straight into Saturday morning
  • And of course ...Kris Murphy for the hospitality and back rubs
See you soon Btown!
