PHILLY and a weee lil bit o' Jersey

AND SO OUR TRIP BEGINS















(good ole grits, eggs and toast)



















In New Jersey there is this amazing catering company called APRON. You can also go in and get fed. The food is great! Ask for Jess, she's amazing.

Can't wait till I can upgrade my camera to something that takes juicier photos... some day! But this is just a taste of our trip. Just as we only really got a small taste of Philly. It came and went and felt like more time was spent in the van than anything. And probably because that is true!


Join us at Skullys on July 3rd for our CD RELEASE! See you then.

WOLF REMIX

Mini Tour: Summer of '09

Our first mini (and I mean mini!) tour ever! And we survived!




First day: Rained off and on. As we got out of town we made our way to a little restaurant Kenan had suggested that is known for their bologna sandwich. He would plan tours based around different food stops if we would let him. Do you trust a man with bacon tattooed on his arm? ;)





Our travel guide was falty but even the clouds seemed to point us in the direction we needed to go. This was my first trip back to BGSU since I left school there a long, long time ago. My parents both went to school there which resulted in my existence. And my existence there resulted in a 1.6 somethin' GPA... (Don't worry. I redeemed myself later haha)





I was thrilled to see an Elvira pinball machine there which I hope to acquire one for myself some day! That and her convertible...



After a night of sleep and bed bugs at the hotel we made our way towards Massillon. I'm a lucky duck cause I don't get carsick from reading. So I started this gem and am wishing I would let more of my wild woman surface because I bet she is fun. We shall see.



We crashed my Mom's garage sale and made an amazing meal and enjoyed the company. It was nice to fill up my Mom's new house with laughter and music. And unfortunately later- farts. She didn't complain though and she spoiled us until we left the next morning. Akron was a good time as always and I felt comfortable romping around in front of my friends and peers.















While driving to PA I spotted familiar red nails and a black cape sticking out by a trash can. We pulled over and acquired two new friends for the trip. A wood cutout of Dracula and another of a Mummy. Now they decorate our practice space!











I have to say I was rather nervous for our show in Pitsburgh. Our first ever out of state show! Pitsburgh owns. It has such a presence. It is fun and tough. The Smiling Moose had all this awesome Horror movie decor and famous monster heads aligning the back of the bar. I felt like a wimpy girl that was about to sing her guts out. I was nervous trying to hold my own. But it was rewarding! After we played the response was great cause they got it and they appreciated it and we had so much fun. Lord Grunge was kind enough to offer us a place to stay and we couldn't have asked for a nicer place. It was beautiful! I was stretched out on the couch. Face down into sleep. It was lovely. I woke so early though and decided to wander the city and find coffee. The guys sleep and I wander. It's what I do :) I found a great coffee shop and tried to soak in a bit of the city before we left. It was just a little bit but it was nice to have a change of scenery.



















We made it home safe and sound and I have to say that we learned a lot on this mini trip. I'm looking forward to many more in many different cities and can't wait for the road again!
