We pick up our buddy Jimmy to drive the last few days of the tour after playing last night at Cafe Metropolis. It's much appreciated as Eddie and I have been driving the whole tour and we're beat all to hell. We spend an extra few minutes wandering around Baltimore -- our info sheet says we're playing The Talking Head but gives the address of Sonar. I know where the Talking Head used to be and where Sonar is, but I didn't know Talking Head is now in the alley next to Sonar -- rather confusing. We carry our equipment down the entire alley and put in a massive order for some vegetarian Chinese food.

The set goes well (minus a broken bass string), and the turnout is OK for a Thursday, so we have no complaints, but we're all tired from the afterparty last night and trying to save energy for CMJ ahead, so it's difficult to gauge how everyone feels about the show. We throw our things back into the van and drive as far as Philadelphia, bedding down in the apartment of Eddie's brother Michael.
