Amazing news!! The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore cds are now at the airport. The band should be getting a shipment of them for the Saturday show and rest of the tour once we clear everything through customs. Thanks to the wonderful Gockley, the band now has a 6 button set of artwork from the album available at shows. I think you can buy your favorite images individually as well. Friday night, Mike and I and others (?) will be off to see Unwed Sailor in Brooklyn and meet up with our New York pals to hopefully include Cake, Nicole, Oliver, Leslie, Mary, and Keyes. Note: if I name drop you and you don’t show, won’t you look a little ridiculous? Just a little guilt trip to get you to come to Zebulon for the rock, for the free rock and party. Denison rocks the unitarian basement with Rainer Maria on Sunday. I’ll see you there. I forgot to give the props yesterday, but Jaret from Corpse on Pumpkin is the one shooting Unwed Sailor photos on their tour. We’re still working on the song order for The White Ox and a potential sister ep to be released at the…

The Unwed Sailor show last night was spectacular. The band is touring as a 5 piece with a photographer. Johnathon sang the vocal parts to both “Pelican” and “Gila” from The White Ox album and there was a good mix of old songs with slight updates and changes with the newer songs. Thanks to everyone who came out for my birthday celebration. You are loved by an old man. We ended up at Pat’s for cheesesteaks super late and met up with the mewithoutyou crew. Tonight the band is off to Wilkes-Barre, but I’m staying in to make sure the Saxon Shore postcards are finished and the backlog of orders is cleared up. I’ll be at the Zebulon show in Brooklyn on Friday, see you there. :::scott:::
Denison and I made the trip up to NYC and arrived right on time for the start of the Yankees/Blue Jays game. I think someone needs to explain the supposed charm of Yankee Stadium to me. The only stadium nearly as crappy that I’ve ever been to that hasn’t already been imploded is the one in Oakland. But, it was at least a worthwhile trip. After, I showed off Two Boots Pizza and we each had a slice of the Bayou Beast which has BBQ shrimp, crawdads, and cajun sausage on it. We got to the Sufjan show and met up with Cake and Nicole before mingling backstage in true rockstar form. It was great to see so many old friends…Mike Kauffmann and Liz Janes, James MacAlister and Jeff Shoop from Ester Drang, Sufjan, John Ringhoffer, and everyone else in the Illinoisemakers who I’d either met before or just met last night. It was fake facial hair and fake tattoo night. I already had the real facial hair, but John gave me a hott wizard ‘too on my arm. It’s super sweet and the sharpie doesn’t seem like it’s going to wash away too soon. Anyhow, Sufjan and gang played…
