Early, early this morning we made the grueling trek from Columbus, OH to NYC. After playing to about 5 people last night at Cafe Bourbon Street and making $zerrrrrrrrro, everyone was in pretty poor spirits about driving 10 hours through the night to New York and being broke as fuck. Luckily after some intense driving by Luke and spotting by Allen, we awoke to a somewhat renewed morale in the mountainy lands of Pennsylvania. Once Derek took over on driving and we reached the city, enthusiasm began to replace our bummed out lethargy.
After making our way to the Cake Shop and snagging a gem of a parking spot on the street across from the venue (parallel parking a Jeep Cherokee with a trailer hitched to it on a one way street in New York City is not fun...), we grabbed some cheap and very delicious Indian food before wandering around the Soho/East Village area and hitting up Kim's record and video shop. To unload we parked illegally in front of a fire hydrant across from the Cake Shop, and we were forced to wait for the Chrysler parked in front of us to move so we could pull up and grab a legitimate curbside parking space so as not to get towed/ticketed. The middle-aged couple in the Chrysler literally sat in the car with the engine running for at least an hour eating food and looking over their new purchases (the dude in the driver's seat seriously kept trying on these cowboy/sun hats while they were sitting there), while we were obviously waiting for them to leave. It was amusing/really fucking annoying.
The Cake Shop is a pretty rad coffee & snack shop with a bar and stage in the basement. Suprisingly clean too for a somewhat dingy basement. Hopefully, the show will be wild tonight, but we're all still a little tired from the Pitchfork===>Columbus===>NYC voyage. More photos soon.
