Lights out in Columbus

So we forgot to mention that after our show in Pittsburgh, we drove back to Dom's parents' house in Brookfield, OH. The drive is only supposed to be an hour, but it took almost two because there was heavy fog. At some points, we couldn't see more than a few feet in front of the van. And, because we were driving through some very rural areas, it was totally dark on the roads. We were kind of freaked out for a while, but we decided to embrace our fate and just roll with it. It was very zen. Next day, we woke up to the smells of a busy Italian kitchen. Dom's mom was making us a feast.















It was a classic Italian meal starting with pasta, then meats and sides, and then ending with salad. We hobbled into the van!















We arrived in Columbus, OH around
8:30pm and loaded into Carabar. It's a big space with a good PA, but being Father's Day Sunday, the joint was pretty quiet. It was still a good show though, and it was good playing with Paper Airplane and Animal Cubes.














After the show, the kindly Kyle Sowash (of the excellent band The Kyle Sowashes) put us up at his house, but the power was out. To get around, we had to wear head lamps (yes, head lamps!) -- we looked like cyclopses! With all the stumbling around in the dark, we didn't end up going to bed until 3:30am -- for the second night in a row. Just look at the weary face of Lisa.


















Indianapolis tomorrow!
