Phew, what a week we've had so far. I haven't had one moment to sit down and try to explain all the funny shit that has happened to us so far on tour. Most of you know, but for those that don't, my band Greg Smith and the Broken English are out on tour from NYC to SXSW. For now I'll 
just give a quick breakdown of the place we've been and where we played. We said goodbye to the loved ones on Friday evening and made our way down to Philadelphia, PA. (apparently GPS thinks it's hilarious to send your singer and drummer down to PA via rte 1). Luckily everybody made it to the Grape room and luckily our bassist, and now apparently, tour manager Jon Calligeri was able to put us on the main stage. We played a quick set and then stuck around to see the great bands that followed. (sidenote: we have seen and met some some great bands and people on this tour, more to come on that). We got back to the hotel and went right to bed... sure, I'll stick with that for now. The next day we were out to Fredrick, MD to play at a place called Cafe Nola. First I'd like to thank the owner Cindy for making us feel so at home. I am definitely not going in to how great Fredrick was, because that make two or three more posts. For our next spot we delved into the dungeon like atmosphere of the cave, trying not to bash our heads on the ceiling as we jumped around the stage area. Right now I'm sitting in New Orleans, LA (nursing myself back to health) after a long, LONG night in the big easy. Somebody pinch me, or better yet just let me enjoy this dream.
