Live Room, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Ok, we’re ready. See you tomorrow. Spent the evening wandering the parking lot with Amanda, eating Italian with Paul and Yogi, and watching miners being rescued in Chile.

Day one down.

3 hours sleep and apparently the flight from SF to NY turned rather Ocasek. Shame, as i’d rather go Orr. Anyway, here we are on the east coast again… work on some new things, rehearse some TTT, take in the Wal-Mart and the Chili’s. I’m on the road again; hours on the internet in hotel ...

The truth, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Hottest show i ever played. Even Irving Plaza now falls. Great one though; i really can’t say enough about the exuberant southern hospitality of the Texan audience. Emo’s is one of those places that feels like it might fall down when you first walk in but ...

Day 35: San Antonio, TX

San Antonio, TX, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. When i first saw the venue I thought i knew what we were in for. White Rabbit sits in the middle of a kind of run-down area and feels, well, kind of run down. Its happened before. It happened again; tonight was seriously amazing… awesome, ...
