New York, NY (The Knitting Factory)

Yesterday was pretty crazy. We woke up in Brooklyn and made our way to
our hotel (a block from Times Square). We had a taped television
performance (for Fearless Music TV) at 1pm. Unforunately, we had a lot
of trouble finding parking (never bring a van AND trailer into NYC). We
finally got stuff figured out and made it to the performance right on
time.

The taping went really well. After that, we grabbed some lunch and
headed to the club to load-in. The show went really well. Basically
everyone from Icon MES (the record label the band is signed to) was
there. I finally got to meet Ken (the president of the label), which was
cool. It was really great to see everyone again!

The guys' set was awesome. They killed it! This was crucial, considering
they had a lot of pressure to perform well at this show. They
definitely stood up to the challenge.

I also got to see my buddy Erick at the show. He was my mentor when I
interned at Fueled By Ramen last year. He just relocated from Tampa, FL
to NYC a few weeks ago. It wad great catching up!

After the show, most of the bands went to a deli together to get
sandwiches. We hung out for a while, then went back to our hotel to
crash.

This morning, the guys did an acoustic performance for the fine people
of Music Choice. It went pretty well! After that, we hit the road. We
are now on the way to Boston! We're taping an acoustic performance at
Purevolume and then playing a show tonight at The Middle East. It
should be a good night!
