The March Reader-ish
March is upon us! Yesterday, we enjoyed the benefits of the 2010 El Nino in sunny 60 degree Seattle; today we shivered in the downtown streets of Saratoga Springs trying to find the best pizza pie Capitaland has to offer. We mostly discovered that the iPhone GPS is subpar.
Tonight brings us our first road show of many in the coming weeks, and if you yourself are a resident of the Northeast, or if you have friends in any of the following locales, we would love to hang in your/their company. Note the preponderance of free/cheap shows on the following list!!!:
TONIGHT! Saratoga Springs, NY: Putnam Den. Doors at 8 PM. FREE for 21+ers/ $5 for young’ns.
TOMORROW! 3.8: New York City, NY: Rockwood Music Hall. 196 Allen St. FREE!
TUESDAY! 3.9: Cambridge, MA: TT the Bear’s. 10 Brookline St. $8.
WEDNESDAY! 3.10: Burlington, VT: Higher Ground. 1214 Williston Rd. $8.
THURSDAY! 3.11: Toronto, ON: Canadian Music Fest. Eh?
From the wicked winter of the Northeast, we’ll be heading to the perpetual summer that is Austin, Texas and South By Southwest. We have so many shows in our 3 days there that Colin’s been ramping up his cardio regimen just to prepare for sprinting through downtown Austin with drums strapped across his backside.

Until we meet again,

P. S. Much gratitude to all who joined us for Friday’s SXSW Send-Off at Neumos! The elation we felt following was so overwhelming that a majority of us nearly missed the flight to Boston 6 hours later. Thanks be to Sam’s lead foot.
