NYC

You would not believe the number of Love Guru ads around New York. Seriously, the fact that the movie only made $14m with this much advertising only emphasizes how bad the movie actually must have been. Way to make smart career choices, Mike Meyers.

We got to NYC a few hours early and decided to get some food. We went to Time Square and got some NYC pizza. Oh the cliche! I proceeded to accidentally eat half of Blake's slice while he was in the bathroom. He was not pleased. Oops? But seriously, it was really good.
The girls in the back of this photo totally checked out Davis the whole time we were in there. I attribute it to his nasty moustache he's got going on right now.

The next stop was the MOMA. The featured artist was Olafur Eliasson, and it was amazing. Davis and I found ourselves staring at a color changing wall for almost ten minutes without moving. Of course, that seemed normal to most people since the room was filled with people sitting on the floor staring into the distance.


We hit up the closest Gyro stand after developing a serious case of museum fatigue. We waited in line for a while only to have Blake drop his food all over the New York sidewalk. The pigeons had a field day. Blake bought another one, as pictured.

We played at The Rehab in SoHo, which turned out to be the best tour stop so far, and probably one of the best places we've ever played. As the first of five bands we started with a minimal crowd, but by the later half our set the audience had grown to at least 25 people. The NY crowd was appreciative of our Minneapolis roots, and we got into many a conversation about The Replacements and Prince. One lady told us that we acted like The Cars, looked like the National, and was going to come and see us in MPLS as soon as she could. She then proceeded to tell us about all the different types of cutlery and crock pots she uses in her cooking every day. Don't really know how that segue happened.


Luckily we got drink tickets, since everything was three times as expensive as in MPLS.

Tonight we head to Cleveland, then home overnight to take a week before we head out west.

Listen to The Current on July 4th to hear our music as the featured song of the day!
