The Fest 8 and other news.

We got back late last night from our weekend in Gainesville, Florida for The Fest 8.  We had a great time, unlike that kid who apparently got tasered (not tased) for fighting with the police.  (It’s on YouTube.  Look it up.)  We’d like to thank Tony, Cam, Ben, Emily, Joel, Var, Jessi, Josh, Nicole, Mary, everyone at No Idea, all of the bands that played on our show, all the bands we watched, and everyone that hung out.  It was a fantastic weekend.  We played two shows, one acoustic and one electric, and they both ruled.  Extra special thanks go to Jared Grabb, who, in addition to playing a great set, hung out all weekend, took video of us performing, and put up with a ton of abuse from us.  That guy is a trooper and we love him.  He has already posted videos from our Fest performance on YouTube (I’ve also posted them on our MySpace page), and there may be some photos and other things yet to surface.  We’re heading back to Florida in March for Harvest of Hope, and we are already excited.

Coming up this week and next, we have two shows, one in San Francisco and one in Sacramento.  We’re playing Saturday, November 7th at Thee Parkside in San Francisco with our friends from Boston, Ketman, as well as the Wandas (another Boston band), and Cannons and Clouds (SF).  The following Saturday, the 14th, we’ll be at the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen with Two Sheds and Dame Satan, and that show is already going off.  Come out and say hi.  We’ll be taking time after these shows to focus on writing, so who knows when you’ll be able to catch us again?

Maybe never.
