10/19/09 Washington D.C.!

The Red and The Black in DC!
Back in DC for the third time!

We played with a killer L.A. band Graydon. Not only were they a killer band, everybody in the band was so cool with us we really appreciated it.

The handsome Ben, who came to see us last time we played D.C. came out to see us again. Thanks Ben, you rock!

Though we had a Monday turnout, we had a great time playing there.
See you on the next tour!

10/19/09 Philly Sight Seeing w/ Trevor the tour guide

My friend Trevor, who actually is working as a tour guide in Philly, took us on a Philly tour, for free, and showed us around. Great times. Thanks Trevor san!

Too many pics, so no individual comments, but enjoy!

This was the first time for us to visit Philly. We love this city!

10/18/09 Philadelphia

Khyber in Philly.

Drove 8 hours and got to Philly!
Had a real Philly cheese steak. Trevor San who was classmates with our original drummer Sean back in Tokyo came out with sexy American ladies. Nice to see old friends.

Playing with killer touring bands like Ringo Deathstarr and Screen Vinyl Image is an honor, slightly tainted by the lack of human beings in the house, but that’s OK because Alex from Ringo Deathstarr counts as 10 people.

They’ll be touring in Japan next month. I’m there and you should be too.

Also the local band The Tweeds put on a great show. Thank you guys for letting this Oriental weirdness happen with you guys!

And for YOU, thank you for coming to see us tonight!

Hugs,

10/17/09 Boston

Boston at Midway Cafe.

We drove from Long Island to Boston. Midway Cafe is a nice little cozy neighborhood bar in Jamaica Plain. My friend Miranda and her sexy friends came out to check us out, and we ended up checking them out instead, so to speak. Met some new Boston folks who had the ear to appreciate the type of noise we put out to the world.

Local bands Old New England Weather and Rick Berlin both treated us nicely and we were so very grateful. Thank you guys for playing with us, and hope you get laid tonight.

THANK YOU for coming to the show. We hope to see you again next time when the economy’s better.

Hugs,

10/16/09 New York

New York City!

Glad to be back in the good old New York.
Again we played at Fontana’s in Chinatown.

Bought some rice before the show, played a nice set, and went to stay at my friend Kondo’s house in Long Island. My friend from Texas Gabriel came out with his amigas hotties and his roomamigo dandio. Amigas hotties are good to see.

My friend Miranda drove all the way from Boston to catch this show. I love her with all my heart and other important organs in my body.

Thank YOU for coming to the show!
Hopefully we get to see a few more folks next time…
