So in the past few days the tour unexpectedly changed in tone quite a bit. We lost some members and gained another. For a second it seemed like it would all fall apart in Chicago, but I think we'll keep going on and see what happens. That's adventure, right?!
We've managed to get to Louisville today, where outside the venue there was constant Akira-style motorcycle speeding going on, up and down East Broadway. To an almost absurd amount: back and forth all evening long.
Also, we played in Bloomington, Indiana yesterday and that was pretty sweet. We all really like that town. People there are good to us. Someone today told me the Dalai Lama has a house there! Next time we're in B-ton we'll have to look the homie up.
Hmmm, I had some pictures I was going post but for some reason I can't upload them. So I'll just describe them:
Picture 1:
A shot of the Merchandise Mart from a bridge in Chicago. I've seen a lot of big buildings but that place was insane. We turned the corner and then there it was, just so ridiculously big. Like how does it stay standing?? You can see the pictures on the internet but that doesn't really do the thing justice.
Picture 2:
A shot of Ben Kapp (DW guitarist) walking on the abandoned train tracks we played our second night in Chicago. A whole elevated and decrepit railway that we hung out on at dusk. It was pretty sweet.
Picture 3:
A shot of the enormous leather couch at the house we're staying at tonight and which I'm about to go to sleep in after I finish this. Literally the best sleeping couch I've ever seen. Almost the width of a twin bed. Total heaven for a band on the run stuck in tour-land.
