Joshua got an e-mail from the venue we
were supposed to play at 3 in the morning saying the show was off. So
we were pretty psyched about that. Nate Allen suggested we try this
open mic in Ames, Iowa and get featured slots there since we were on
tour. So we hit the road and made it to the venue just in time. The
guy who ran it was super cool and let us each do longish sets. So it
was all OK.
Alma from the Puppetry Guild was in
town selling posters to college students (yay capitalism!) so that
was legitimately awesome. One of the guys at the open mic actually
played a song about Occupy and Alma and I couldn't stop giggling. I
think he thought we were heckling him. It's just weird when someone
sings a song about all your friends. But kind of awesome. This rad
couple, JD and Markie let us crash on their floor afterward. I had
pretty low expectations about the whole night, but honestly it ended
up being a really fun night. Maybe slightly more stressful than I
really wanted, but certainly better than it could have been. This is
Pen Pen trying to find the leak in the brake lane because it's been
that sort of day.
This is a song I wrote one time. You
should download it and share with your friends.
