It was completely delicious. I also went to see Styrofoam and Alias play. It was a rainy night and the show was completely in the middle of nowhere so we got really wet on the way to the train home. But, it was a good show, especially for the first night of the tour. There are lots of things underway with Burnt Toast Vinyl for Japan. Most of the back…
