The Tour : Epilogue
So I stayed up pretty late last night editing together this last little tour video. It features footage from the drive home as well as after hours hanging out at our last show in Hillsboro, Oregon. It also features a big thank you to everyone who helped make the tour a success and a soundtrack courtesy of Erin’s car stereo which ends up including a lot of Shins and, Portland locals, The Dimes.
I apologize in advance also for the cheesiness of the ending. I could not resist. Editing is fun!
At some point in the video I hear Beau say in the background – “I’m about the ladies! … well, one lady” but that’s all I can make out. It makes me laugh every time. I am also amused by Erin’s technique of filming-while-driving. I know she is afraid her mother will see it and worry but I just want to reassure everyone, it’s okay! Despite the tire incident Erin is a capable driver and also an expert filmer so she must be at least okay at filming-while-driving. Nonetheless, kids, don’t try this at home.
Our last show in Hillsboro on the tour was a lot of fun – I got to see a ton of people I hadn’t seen in forever which was really really nice and my good friend Adam DiCarlo (pictured above) opened the show for us.
I could go on and on about how happy I am with how the tour went and how rewarding and fun it was – and it was – but it’s time to look into the future! We have a new drummer, new shows lined up and big plans ahead now that we’re back home! We had our first practice (With drummer!) since our return home on Wednesday and I couldn’t be more excited for how things are panning out! We really hope you’ll stick with us, it’s been a lot of fun doing this blog and making videos and we hope to keep doing it into the future! Maybe we’ll even set up a Podcast one of these days.
As usual there’s a lot more pictures along this line over on the MySpace and I’ll be uploading the photos from Puyallup soon!
We’ll see you for our last acoustic-ish show next Friday (for more information see the post below)! Please come show us some love and we’ll show you some love right on back.
In a completely appropriate non-creepy way of course.
