I Feel Like a New York Local


Pretty much every day off that we've had this past week has been in New York/New Jersey. Haha, I can't complain because it's been awesome, but I'm finally glad to get out of here and hit the road again with Alkaline Trio. Tomorrow will be our third show with the band and it's taking place in Amish Country: Lancaster, PA. Haha, I'm very excited for the show and I look forward to meeting a whole bunch of new people. Today was rad. I woke up around 10:45 and left for the city with 5/7 of Drive A Tour Camp. No one could agree on one restaurant to eat at so lunch was divided between three restaurants (one being my new favorite "Red Bamboo"). If you live in New York, make sure to hit that place up. I think it's at 140th and West 4th ST... but look it up just to be sure. After that we hit up the still open Virgin Megastore in Manhattan (unfortunately, not the one that used to be in Times Square) and I got "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love", by My Chemical Romance. Those guys are quickly inching their way up to being one of my favorite bands. We also went to this awesome restaurant called Jeckyll and Hyde, which is kind of like a super-rad/haunted version of rainforest cafe. I recommend, even though I didn't get any food. It's THAT bad ass. We finished up the day by walking around Times Square, and we went to the awesome Hershey Store. That shit's awesome. Since it's 12:40 A.M., it's Cinco de Mayo, and more importantly, two great records that I know of are coming out. "Grey Britain" by Gallows is amazing; you gotta check that out, and "Attics to Eden" is awesome as well. There you have it: I'm out.

Take care now,
Chris
