I still can't face the fact that I will be in NYC for your Cambridge show and in Cambridge for your NYC show. :-( There's not much that keeps me away from a good show but visiting my mom for her birthday isn't really negotiable!

I love how personal an album this is for you, it just makes the album so much more real. i knew there was something great going on even when i first heard the february train sample on cuneiform's website, but i never expected how much.

The Middle East Downstairs // Cambridge, MA // Sept. 11, 2009To call the event that took place in the Middle East Downstairs on Friday, Sept. 11, singular would be akin to calling the universe big. The description is accurate enough, but there's just no way to convey the true breadth of it. ...
