Early, early morning. And it came really early. We departed Charlotte for DC. Six and a half hours later we arrived in our nations capital. Below is a video of us arriving (fully delirious from being in the car too long), soundtrack provided by Lauryn Hill.

Andrew dropped me off to meet David All for lunch, and I spent the rest of the afternoon at the DAG office getting some work done and visiting with the DAGgers.

At 5pm I headed to meet my cousin John for drinks at RFD, a great pub with a huge beer selection. We had a few pints and headed to meet David, Ogi, and Annelies for happy hour at Gordon Biersch.

All the while Andrew was loading in at the Red and the Black. I know, it’s touch being a publicist sometimes. ;-)

I rounded up as many peeps as I could at the bar and we headed to the show. When we arrived, Andrew was about to start, and we met a few other friends, including Bri! Was so happy to see her!

The show was great. Andrew did amazing as usual. After the set, we stuck around for the other 2 bands, Sgt. Dunbar & the Hobo Band and Yarn. Both were great. Yarn was fantastic. We loaded out, said goodbye to friends, and headed to Silver Spring to spend the night with my cousin and Aunt, a great treat to see my Aunt Kay who i hadn’t seen in 20 years! She made us breakfast this morning, and we were on out way!

Two shows today in NYC, and one tomorrow in Brooklyn. Headed to pick the rest of the band up at the airport and head to the first show at 3pm in Union Square. Then tonight at midnight at Arlene’s Grocery.

Sorry if wit is lacking today. I’m exhausted! Stay calm, and carry on. ;-)

More soon from the Big Apple.

NO SLEEP ‘TIL BROOKLYN!!!!
