Alela Diane: An Opener for Heavy Metal (Norfolk, VA)
2 CommentsPosted on Friday, November 10th, 2006
After my harsh introduction to the state of Virginia (as per previous post on getting car sick and puking when we entered Arlington, VA), things got a little better–but not much. Our second show in the state seemed like it was going to be a great one. It was at a really nice record store, […]

Sometimes driving long hours can be rough. This became very clear to me yesterday, on our five hour drive from New York City to Arlington, Virginia. Long-story-short: just as we were about to reach our destination, I said to Tom, “I think I might puke.” He pulled over, and I ran from […]

We were all over the place yesterday. For some reason I had three shows booked in one day. The first was this cave of a dive bar at 3 in the afternoon over in Manhatten. There were only black and red lights glowing inside, even in the bathroom. A beautiful and sunny wintery day suddenly seemed […]

I was walking down the street in the East Village by myself when I heard someone call out my name from a cafe. Apparently, this nice girl had met me at a show in Portland, and had recognized me. I was completely blown away that I could be in this place I’ve never […]

I sleep a lot in the passenger seat of the Grand Prix these days. I have been blessed with some fine pull-out beds to rest my head on at night, but it never seems like quite enough. For a little background, when I am at home in Portland, I don’t go out much. I go […]

We had a show last night at a little coffee shop/bar in Burlington, Vermont and the show was pretty alright. A kid said we could stay at his house, so we took him up on his offer. On the way we stopeed at a party someone had invited us to. It was […]

On tour with Tom Brosseau… We played a lovely show in Cambridge last night. I was staying with my old friend/neighbor Lindsay, and things were going really well! Today our show was set for Rochester, New York, a six hour drive from Boston. We left at about noon, and I was […]
