so then we all dig in for a night of heavy drinking and board games, new years, blah blah blah, go to bed super late, get up at like 2 the next day and get breakfast, go to the rehersal space, pack up the van and drive to DC for a show. We've got 2 straighedge dudes in the band and then me and blake; for us I think death warmed over would have been a vast improvement on our condition. There were literally 4 people at the show that weren't in bands or didn't work there, and it was actually kind of fun, except that I tried to cure my hangover with a beer just before we played and spent the whole set trying desperately not to puke all over the place...then yesterday I slept in and spent the rest of the day setting up my stuff.
