First and foremost is these kids who have taken a play of theirs on the road called “Insurgent Theater!” which will be at The Barn on Sunday. Touring a play is super hard, and I give them a lot of respect for taking that kind of ambition with them in the van.

Then, two totally last minutes bits of information… helping out some friends, including Shellshag, who are trying to raise awareness about the coal industryand it’s campaign to kill us all and destroy communities… then somehow that got merged with ANOTHER show featuring my buddies Future Islands, and we have ourselves a mini upstairs/downstairs festival. Then my girlfriend and I have a video that is going to be screened at The Market Hotel for the second day of the Bushwick Film Festival. All information is below…

No (sharable) photos on Flickr yet, or any website or music I could find. Someone show these kids the internet!

(I’ve gotten bored of band write-ups… we’re living in a visual society now! All photos (mostly) dragged out of Flickr. If you like a photo, say hi to the person who took it!)
