The first night out we played an open mic at The Point in Bryn Mawr. One of the highest calibre open mics I’ve ever been to. Much more laid back music than I was used to – we were like setting off a bomb in an eel tank. You know, except it was students rather than eels. The host – Leigh – was fantastic, dry sarcastic wit, reminded me of an aged Pat Klink crossed with Riverdale’s host, JD. We went over really well, and Leigh promised to help us out where he could. Also got approached about being an opening act at McGilliduddy’s (or something like that) on Saturday night. Sold 6 of the ilyAIMY AMD CDs. It’s not much, but it got us the singles we needed to ride the trolley system the next day. A lot of new mailing list friends (urg – mailing list, haven’t even thought about that) – Anywho, got lost on the way to Shane’s, and Heather was practicing her stick shift… I almost am completely confident that she’s good to do the trafficky day driving – one more home coming late at night, and methinks she gets to take over the driving.
And “take over the driving” she did – nowadays I can go a full week without getting behind the wheel. I’ll come home from tours with… unsure automobile reflexes. It’s no good.
