Played a show at Binghamton U last night. Had a small, but enthusiastic crowd. Hard to pick how big the college shows will be. There was a great crowd in the campus venue (Late Night) while we were loading in. By the time we hit the stage most folks had left, piling into buses on their way down-town. That said, we had a few super cool guys, who’d seen us last time, come back for the show – they bought a bunch of t-shirts and albums. They were also a little disappointed more students hadn’t stayed back to check it out.

Secret Country played after us – one of the best bands we’ve met on tour playing to a near empty room. The first time we saw these guys was at the infamous Maxwell’s in Hoboken, New Jersey, last year. They tore the place apart. Last night, despite circumstances, they cranked out another great fun rock-a-billy/punk set.

Then the load out began at 2am – up flights of stairs with mountains of gear, the way we’d come in. Back to the hotel to collapse. Up before check-out this morning & on the road again. Right now we’ve just arrived in Ithaca for the show tonight at Castaways (Upstate New York). Kent’s lap-top took a nasty fall last night so we’re hunting for a computer shop to get it fixed.

Checkya tomorrow.
Fires out.
