It got cold fast, didn’t it?  Well, at least in New York it did.  It’s raining today, so I figure I’ll take the ol’ blog out for a spin.  For the most part, things have been pretty fast-moving and most of all fun.  Last week, I played Asylum down in D.C.  I took a Boltbus from Penn Station for 17 bucks.  Not so bad, eh?  Seems like that’s the only part of the economy that’s been working in our favor lately.  I pulled in on a Saturday and took the next two days off for a little D.C. vacation.  I haven’t been there since I was 12 or something like that.  It’s hard to pinpoint when you did certain things in your childhood years.  They all seem to run together somehow, or you end up dividing them up into pockets of time, like your 4 years in high school or the years before you went to Europe.  I ended up doing every touristy thing you could do in Washington minus the tours.  Chilling outside the Capitol was incredible.  It sucks to think that such awful people work in such a beautiful architectural display.  I mean, they’re not all bad, some have good intentions, but greed is contagious, and I can’t trust anyone just because they were voted into office.  I feel politicians today need to take lie detector and morality tests before they can take office.  Holding office is like a get out of jail free pass for most politicians and they’re has got to be a method to weed out the easily corruptible.

Anyway, the show at Asylum was awesome.  Luckily my good friend, Matt, lives three blocks away from Asylum so It only took a hop, skip and a jump to get there.  A trendy, young D.C. crowd showed up and a couple sang along.  I’m looking forward for my next busride down and playing there again.  Until then, it’s all NYC for me and the band, except for a show out in L.A. in January.  Be well everybody.  See ya.
