On a rainy day in Annapolis, MD we reconnect with Justin McMahon and he introduces us to his two new road mammals who await patiently his return.

Tonight we played a college. A damn discouraging college unfortunately.

Now – I Love my band. I think ilyAIMY’s pretty damned amazing – and though I know we’re not the BEST band in the world, and I know we’re not the SEXIEST band in the world, and though I know we’re not the catchiest or poppiest or flashiest band in the world – we’re still PRETTY damned good, sexy, catchy and flashy (yeah, we’re not poppy). And above all we’re INTERESTING.

We played to a massive influx of college kids tonight that didn’t even give us a second glance. In all fairness, I think we were billed second to bacon, but there must’ve been about 500 kids that filtered through the show and almost none made eye contact, few even glanced in our direction. I don’t know that I’ve felt that invisible in forever.

The band took it for what it was – I just don’t know how you can walk past Rowan playing bones or me going slappy happy on my guitar or Heather going nuts on the djembe and not take a closer look – at least to maybe figure out what the Hell Kristen is playing – meh.

We had fun playing to one another and we had a couple of fans who’d come specifically to see us, but we simply couldn’t compete with the bacon or the pie throwing booth.  Strange but true.
