Tour starts now, let’s fuckin go. ✌️

Sure sure sure, I would get summoned to jury duty for the day I am driving back from tour. 🙃

G’morning.

A high contrast black and white photo strip lying on a tan linen comforter. In the first photo, I have my film camera and pose as if taking a picture (I didn’t). In the second, smiling with the camera off to the side. In the third, putting my sunglasses on askew. In the fourth and last, sticking my tongue out and pushing the sunglasses on top of my head. Strip was from the analog booth at The Ripple Room, where I stopped during a long bike ride recently.

Looking forward to some time away, but already know that it will feel good to come home.

A black and white photograph taken from high above the lower side of Central Park. The square of trees stretches into a long rectangle, surrounded by buildings of differing heights. The sky appears cloudy.

A low contrast black and white photograph of the New York skyline, taken from a level seemingly similar to the height of the Empire State Building.

A black and white photograph taken through a large glass window looking over the edge of lower Manhattan, a tiny Statue of Liberty sprouting out of the Hudson. The clouds gently move to the right of the frame, traced with the glow of sunlight.

my main takeaway of One Battle After Another is that Sean Penn absolutely nailed the Vince McMahon walk.

Happy Birthday to this spicy incredible witch of a Nonna, on whatever celestial plane she wound up, likely dancing and drinking weak, sweet margaritas, and captivating everyone she meets.

A black and white photograph of my nonna, Rosa Italia, who is wearing a stylish dress with her hair styling into big curls and a ponytail. She’s in front of a car from the time, and a large brick building flanked with trees.

Another black and white photograph. My Nonna, laughing into the lens of the camera, her best friend Peggy sitting on her back and smiling. They are on the beach, lots of people strewn around them or walking by in old style bathing suits.

Similar to the others, but she is dancing and showing off an outfit she made in a front yard.

Another very young Rosa, legs crossed by the water, sailboats resting behind her. Everything is the same sepia tone, but her hair looks black. She has a button down white shirt and a black shirt, knee high white socks and black shoes, I assume.

Hell yeah, I put on a fuckin’ dress.

Nighttime, the lit sign of the Hudson Theater, yellow bulbs framing the poster of Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter for Waiting for Godot.

Upon learning my bandmates and I are spending not one but two nights in Davenport, Iowa on tour this month.

A text I sent after learning we are spending more time in Davenport, IA. There is a Trip Advisor screenshot attached that has the Mississippi Spoon Gallery listed as the top attraction and quite honestly it probably slays. I have also written “Buckle up, babies!!!” And there’s a lil “haha” bubble attached by one of my bandmates (Jess).

October’s full harvest moon through the trees, low light, barely able to make out the shape of the moon itself.

The same photo a moment before, when the camera went out of focus and turned the moon into a white circle amongst blurred tree branches.

The first time I got to hear “I Heard You Looking” live—a favorite—was a year ago tomorrow. Pat Sansone joining the set was special. That festival is special, too.

This was the first YLT song I ever heard, in junior high, despite it being a cover. I’ve never heard them do it live and I don’t necessarily expect to. I come back to it often.

Happy Bandcamp Friday and Halloween (it’s Halloween all month and maybe part of last week, too, just fyi)!

This one was fun for us a lot of reasons. First track that features our new drummer, Brian Alvarez, and even some tricked out, pedaled up cello from Lottie Malkmus. Also we love spooky times.
