072509 Harper's Ferry

There's beans in them thar hills

So the.. owner and driver are American built?


We awoke in Philadelphia to begin our whirlwind loop around Boston down to Brooklyn. On the way up, we picked a random lottery ticket and immediately shed a single tear for a friend who couldn't make it on this journey:



Today, the order of business was to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the existance of our pals Freezepop. Way to go, guys! They actually played two anniversary shows in one night: one an early, all-ages show; and one a later, mega-drunkzord 21+ show. We played the early show along with Boston's own Mystery Roar.

(editor's note: for your convenience we have removed the part where Mike talks about food. All he does is talk about food and we figured you could use a break. The vegan pan-asian cuisine was plentiful however)

The show was really awesome, and we met a lot of really awesome people. We presented Freezepop with a giant aluminum-foil key to our hearts. Sound was great, venue was great, crowd was amazing, yowsa.

Mystery Roar roars mysteriously. Actually it's not that mysterious, it's tasty electo-pop.


In addition to the best shirt ever, Bananas Foster was wearing some serious pants (not pictured).


After the show, we all went back to Freezepop's headquarters for some R+R, before beginning our journey south to New York City. We discovered some outstanding things while we were at it. One item of note is that Freezepop is friendly with Chris Onstad, purveyor of Achewood, our favorite comic strip.

The other item is that they had a hand chair and we all posed for portraits. Hand chair!

"... wait what?"


Serious face.


That's right.
