I like that shirt. I think Leigh took this picture. Everyone said it looked like an old Buddy Holly record cover or something along those lines. Old school. I liked that about it too:)
This was back when we used to play at Borders a long time ago. I really liked playing all those places we used to play. I wish we didn't have to play so...quiet. It's really hard! That's why most bands don't do it. You can play a lot more venues, especially in this town when they realize you can control your volume. But it's hard to play so it sounds good and quiet and effectively gets your point across musically. That's why most acts don't do it...I suppose...maybe they just don't like playing at a controlled volume and maybe it's only hard for me.
It's weird but a lot of venue owners don't realize soundboards have faders on them and you can actually control the volume that way. They think you can actually make yourself louder by playing harder or something. I guess that works on a drum kit and most of the time we didn't have one of those before Laura came along...I think most bar owners don't understand the laws of physics...And I played an acoustic guitar and I guess that's not as scary as an electric guitar that uses electricity because that's louder...I'm just complaining now...
Speaking of the quietest show on earth, Leonard Cohen is touring again. I haven't checked but I'm afraid he's not going to play in the states. I made myself sad:( Can't go on...must go on...can't go on...must go on...

That should be your new My Space quote. ;)
