*INK, SWEAT & TEARS…THE FINAL SHOWS…
PORTLAND (5/22)
rolled into portland, sunday afternoon and found liberty hall in a snap. it’s a great community space. they had a rock band practicing on the main stage whilst microcosm publishing, an underground publication distributor, works out of a small room downstairs. there’s also a kitchen serving healthy food down there…and when we went back upstairs, there was some sort of choral singing group practicing, and d&d type folks coming in to play a session.
just a lot of stuff going on.
after scoring some sushi and the obligatory visit to powell’s books, downtown, we shot back to the hall for the show. i believe this was our biggest crowd. and the projector didn’t screw up!! dave roche (“on subbing”) opened the show. big thanks to joe and shawn at microcosm for hookin’ us up.
then we hit a place called bink’s for a little bit o’ boozin’ and food…good stuff!!
shout outs to dave walker (badazz mofo!!) and ike the dog.
SAN JOSE (5/24)
it was so weird to sleep at home a day after the portland show and then have one more show to do. but we done did it. the last hurrah at anno domini was bittersweet…cuz the fellas and i were hyped to do another hundred shows..it was great.
the turnout was bigger than expected, especially for a tuesday. and the projector only screwed up once. mark silverman opened the show for us, again (he did s.f.). and he slayed..especially his five minute opus “my penis”.
shout outs to former marginal prophets/mdc guitarist chris and his pals for coming through!!
thank you, thank u, thank ewe to everyone who came out to the shows. it was the first tour i’ve ever booked myself and it went swimmingly. thanks to everyone who let us crash at their place. thanks to uncle ray for use of the amp and mic. thanks to all the venues who were open and willing to take us on. and thanks to jon longhi and eric drooker for giving up their valuable time…
coming up: i’m coming to new york city, june 11th & 12th!!

cheers,
keef
