It’s 3ish when we hit the border. They make us sit in a room for half an hour and search the bus, take passports, ask question. It’s all pretty harmless but its also late. We’re back on the road and into canada by 4ish. The last two dates ahead. Wander Toronto a little with Richard ...
Awakened by the sound of the engine stopping. Going on deck to see where we are. Ah, Pontiac, MI. Detroit if you’re not being picky. So the last US date. As the end draws near things are changing. Leaves. Minds. Pedals. Band relations. Some questions occur: How to re-establish contact with normality upon leaving the ...
Its late and the bus is rolling gently away from Columbus, OH en route to Pontiac, MI; the last of the US dates. Tonight was ridiculously loud but a ton of fun for me; everything went smooth and the stage was a good little intimate theatre stage. Usually carpet is not so good but the ...
Where i awoke., originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Boston started with some conflict between the powers that be. There’s been some of this already and its not pretty. Fortunately, relations between the PF and HM band members and most crew has been, and is, completely fine; its just other parties within the organizations ...
I need to catch up on this. Will endeavour today. Philadelphia today… I see a blue bridge, chinatown and a rather uncompromising, cranky, lack of sleep. Trocadero tonight.
cool mirror thing, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. They are digging up the street in front of this venue. Despite that, Norva has the best dressing rooms i’ve experienced. It was like having a huge private suite with hot tub, showers, multiple lounges, flat screen tvs, sauna, kitchen, game room, dinner area etc… ...
The venue, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Some bitchin / Some good stuff: I left my shades on a park bench in front of some guy who was nodding out. I bet he’s wearing them now. Mars and i had breakfast at a place that had the world’s best faucet. Good food… Paul, ...
Double troubles, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. A melancholy day for some reason. Must be the middle of the tour, the grey weather, the lack of sleep, the huge tower i woke up in or the freezing dressing rooms. But a nice lunch with Amy C and the people at the Masquerade brought ...
Fade to Grey, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Best show of the tour? Tonight we were at House of Blues Orlando. Without causing offense to the good residents of this area, i wasn’t getting my hopes up for this place from the minute i got off the bus and saw the massive Disney ...
The Psychedelic Furs, originally uploaded by James Good. Not much sleep. Mars, Paul and I have a dip in the warm, warm Atlantic by the hotel day room. Too much sun so far this trip? Never. I’m turning into a lobster though. James takes a half day off and picks us up in the no-AC ...
