Jun 30, 2009

The beginning of my day was spent cleaning, running and playing a game of disc golf by myself. At around four, we met up at Jeff's and packed up the car to head to Philly for our first show in the city. We got to the North Star Bar right on time.

We had to load in onto the stage through the back door. We were pretty excited to be playing here since we've seen great bands play this stage before.

We didn't spend much time there, but we set up in the band area downstairs. Before our set we spent most of our time out in the bar eating veggie quesadillas, drinking beer and watching Curb Your Enthusiasm with closed captions. Still funny.

After the second band, Practically Single, who were really good, we set up and got ready to play. We played all of our usual originals to a decent crowd. It was a lot of fun to be playing that venue even if we weren't perfect. We did alright with ticket sales as well, according to the promoter.

We hung out for a while after our set while this guy hit on Katie. That was entertaining. He's a Star Trek fan.

Overall I'd say our first Philly show went pretty good. I had fun, ate good food, drank good beer and Sam got really drunk, even better! Hope we can play again some day.
