01-02-08: Arlene's Grocery in NYC

Tonight officially kicked off the Beautiful Lies Winter Tour and beginning of 2008. After a long day of sleeping and eating at the Mavraganis home, we headed into NYC. It was a good way to start things off, as we haven't had a real rehearsal since our last show. There weren't a lot of people at this show, but the response was good, and so was the sound and stage. Tonight also debuted a vocoder, which will surely be making appearances in future performances. Look for it in "Cold" and "Stay Away."

With the new van, we didn't have to worry about a trailer this time, which made things a lot easier. Unfortunately, we returned to the van after our performance to find a lovely parking ticket. NYC parking violations aren't cheap either, which isn't surprising. I've tried, but I have to admit I'm just not a fan of New York.

We're still throwing around ideas for titles for "Untitled." Tonight we tried out "Whatever (As If)." We'll see if it sticks.
