From Charlotte
APRIL 4, 2008
THE EVENING MUSE
CHARLOTTE, NC
Hey hey-
The boys and I rocked Charlotte, NC last night with our new friend Vienna Teng. She was terrific and it was very cool to see some old friends we had met on the road awhile back. Charlotte was great. It poured, it thundered, we got soaked. But, the show was killer. We stripped the set-up down a bit from the normal electric tones...My voice was feeling a little raspy, but I pushed through.
About to leave NC and we're on our way to Atlanta. Got to run. Me need coffee!
SETLIST:

Notes from Los Angeles
Hey All-
Just finished the west coast tour run and have had a day to clear my thoughts here in Los Angeles. It was really a great week that started in Seattle, hit Vancouver, then down to Portland (where we picked up our bro Justin King), then down to San Francisco, and finished in L.A. at the Troubadour.
We hit snow and sleat in northern California and totally muddled our van up with road "goop." We never ate a healthy meal, except when we went for really solid Mexican food in Seattle with our friends Kyle and Mandi Stevens. I also ate well when I got sushi in L.A. The road has an odd way of exciting me as well as draining me literally at the same time. There are moments of pure elation followed by "I want my bed."
But, we’ve played hundreds of shows all over the place and at this point, I’m quite used to it. Throughout the time on the road I’ve been continuing to write and really have some cool ideas for some new material. I’ll hash them out in the coming weeks. I’ll be back to NYC later today. I’m battling a bad flu/cold thing. My throat burns, I’m coughing with conviction, and my head is stuffed like a balloon.
I’ll be home in NYC for 2 days, then we drive down to Charlotte, NC for the southeast turn.
Here are some photos:
