Moving Mountains Tour Journal Update #2

Currently we're in Boston right now and I'm feeling sick as a dog. In fact, a bunch of us are feeling sick. Something nasty is going around and it's being passed between band members. Two days ago we played at The Space in Hamden, CT. Really awesome venue with a thrift store upstairs where I found myself a really nice scarf. Unfortunately there was a huge snow storm and roads were terrible, but we still had a good time. Last night we played at The Middle East upstairs. I started feeling sick before we went on, and after we played I felt 30 times worse. Fever, achy bones, watery eyes, bad cough. I don't know what I have but it's not good. On top of that we ran into a slew of technical issues with bass on stage and had to cut our set short. Sorry for anyone who was there last night. We will make it up to you soon! Other than that, things have been going well. Seeing Pompeii every night is a real treat. Meeting new people, sleeping on floors. All good stuff! Looking forward to Brooklyn : )

Moving Mountains Tour Journal Day 1

Wednesday, January 7th 2009



Hello everyone,


This is our first blog post, and second day on the road. We were thankful to have Sam let us crash at his house, (a.k.a, the hindu tantric sex kitchen). He also suggested that we keep a journal of this tour, and update it here! So anyways, last night we played in Jersey at this venue The Saint. It was awesome to finally meet Pompeii (we've been fans of theirs for a while), so performing with them is very amazing for us. Like most Moving Mountain's shows, we found ourselves running into tons of technical issues (our lights, samples, etc), but like most Moving Mountains shows we got through it. It was still fun, and nice to see all the familiar faces in Jersey. Pompeii killed it, too. As did our good friends in Chemtrail. All in all, a good night. Currently, we're driving to Baltimore in the shitty rain. In fact, it hasn't really stopped raining since yesterday. Really cold rain, too. But anyways, Mitch is packaging the pre-orders as we're driving. We sort of built a mail order, packaging station inside the van. We finally received the Foreword EP's in the mail on the 5th, so we've been trying to ship them out as soon as we can with the free time we have on the road. We're very happy with how they came out. I'm looking forward to everyone finally having them as well. If anyone reading this lives within the places we're going, please e-mail us and let us know! We'll hang out, and eat some food or something.


Much Love,


Greg
