it was my first time on the subway. i'd never been touched like that before. you were polite and nice; a million chakra's a dozen laughs. hmmm: weren't you the one meditating in the new york stairwell? were we not just enjoying indian food, discussing the happenings of all of our friends? space brothers, uh-huh. sam philips rising AND DMT WILL NEVER DIE. all the names and numbers in the world, i have. yes. that much is true and we can at least agree on that much.
there are many important things in this world, not least of which is three dollar margaritas brought to you in part by beautiful waittresses. piano's: you become the defacto indiana consulate and we loved you as the day was long. (that is, until the three dollar frozen margarita's turned into eight dollar margarita's and the beautiful waittress transformed into a long-haired metal man - but i'm clearly getting ahead of myself here)
save domino at death by audio. beautiful women in straw hats and the new york city skyline's sunflowers. jesus christ jumped out of the speakers and i said "thank you"
new york, godbless. it was 4am when you departed for the subway. i said goodbye the only way i knew how and haven't seen you since.

Woooo alright ... Drove from 1 pm-midnight today. Lots of driving. Last night, in Columbus, I saw this written on the bathroom stall wall ...
"STRICTLY SHARK FUCS"
What does that mean? I don't know, man, I don't know. There was also a giant painting of a shaman werewolf. Holy shit, holy shit.
Lots of driving today ... Ate some food ... Drinking beers; hanging out on Brooklyn tenement stairways. Playin the gitar, there's fuckin so many dogs here man. There's just two, I was just kidding.
We are playing Death By Audio in Brooklyn tomorrow with my friends Screen Vinyl Image ... We are playing the Cake Shop on Sunday with them and Philly on Monday with them as well. Should be a really, really good time.
Beer bottle guitar slide,

August 20 + 21: Bloomington, IN + Columbus, OH
-----MARK-------
Day 1 ... Bloomington, IN @ the Cinemat w/ the Joy Bus, Morrow and another band I can't remember their name.
Pretty good day, didn't feel like day 1, probably because I knew I'd sleep in my own bed that night. One highlight included the funniest condom dispenser machine ever in some gas station in Indiana somewhere. Two particular gems included condoms that literally glow in the dark (as opposed to figuratively) and a hand-scrawled "DOES NOT WORK" in pen above the tingler/cock ring/climax control dispenser.
The show was pretty alright ... The Cinemat is a little theater. After we loaded in we drank a few beers with the Joy Bus guys who were on tour from Austin. Nice guys, nice guys. The show itself wasn't bad; wasn't packed but still had fun. Saw some Bloomington folks I hadn't seen in a minute. Then left the show and drank more, except I didn't because I drove home. Played a lot of this basketball hoops game and watched Cookies completely dominate it. Also saw a guy break a pool cue after scratching a shot and at a couple slices of pizza from a few different places ... All around a pretty wholesome day.
-end-
DAY 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO ... Columbus, OH @ the Carabar w/ the Slide Machine, Deer Head
Woke up in Indianapolis and strolled on out of the city. Forgot to bring our Serpentor GI Joe mascot and absolutely had to go back for it. We drove and drove for a couple hours and then made it to the club. Place was cool; the flyer was obviously a charachature of the sound guy. I ate a veggie coney dog before we played. After 10pm we got unlimited free PBR (which means free beer Serpentor worked, man).
Show went well; good amount of people, the place sounded really good. Afterwards kept fooling around with a deer head that clearly belonged to the band deer head. Drank a bunch. Hung around for a little while; watched the other bands. Drank a bunch. Went to Slide Machine guys' house (super nice guys) and listened to music and played Scattergories. Tweeds. Drank more. Last night is kind of a blur. I thought Tony was going to punch a guy that said he'd give him money for a smoke and then just mimed putting nothing into his hand. The sentiment was shitty.
C coc columbus was a success in certain terms. Good day. Leaving for day off in NYC right now.
