Sing, "All hail"

After the cops showed up at the Halfway House this past Friday night a majority of the attendees fled the premises. Those of us who stuck around (what else was I going to do?) were treated to a dance party/battle eruption. You MUST give credit to dudes like this that will get down and dirty (literally) on a beer-soaked partied-on floor.

In other news, it turns out that I'll be playing one final show with my band mates in The New Constitution. I'm leaving the band (another story for another time kids) but am happy that I can have a proper send off in front of our friends and supporters of the band. So, the show is Friday, May 20th, 10pm, at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago.

Speaking about the band, it's pretty emotional for me to be leaving. It was in no way an easy decision by any means. I had some amazing times and shared some life-altering events with them. One of, if not the most memorable, was our trip to Scandinavia and our run of shows in Sweden. You can see all sorts of pics from that tour at the band website. The soundtrack of this tour was a mixtape that our driver played pretty much nonstop during the 2 weeks. We all started to hate each and every song on the tape just because of being over-saturated with the same batch of tunes. But, one song that I first heard on that tape and will always remind me of those early morning drives through winding forest roads was 'Laws Have Changed' by The New Pornographers. And, oddly enough, The City on Film Daily posted an mp3 of it over the weekend. Go get it! Or, don't!
