America is Sweet
Whaddup
Normally, I post stuff when new things happen. Right now, literally nothing new has happened in the land of Snarky Puppy… but I just wanted to give a couple of quick shouts to some really cool shit I’ve experienced in the last week.
#1) Sitting second row behind the third base dugout at a Yankees game.
My [...]
snarky puppy plays music that this guy hates
I am a patriot.
Not really. I just believe that free speech is awesome. I believe that all people have the right to their own opinion, no matter how dense or misinformed they may be. I believe that these people should have the right to have blogs, where they can say how they feel about music [...]
Tour Post 11 – Skatey Puppy?
After finally getting a bit of rest at my mom’s house in Fairfax, we headed 90 miles southwest for a show at one of our favorite tour stops – Harrisonburg, VA.
The venue is a sweet restaurant/bar in the “downtown” area (a pretty liberal expression) called Clementine. Killer grub, killer brews, killer (and frighteningly attractive) staff, [...]
Tour Post 9 – Slowanoke, with.
Somewhat embarrassed by my weak-ass last post, I’m going to make up for it here.
Sunday found the band feeling the effects of the evening before, but we dutifully reported to our recording session at the Jefferson Center somewhat on time.
The Jefferson Center for the arts is a multi-purpose facility in downtown Roanoke dedicated to preservation [...]
Tour Post 8 – The Star City
I grew up in Virginia. Kind of.
I grew up in northern Virginia, which is effectively its own state. Unlike the rest of VA, there’s no regional accent. Unlike the rest of VA, there is no real embedded community, as most folks that live there have government jobs and move a lot. And unlike the rest [...]
Tour Post 6 – honey baked ham
If you haven’t noticed yet, I have abandoned the idea that I’ll be able to write a post for every single day of this tour. So give myself the illusion of not failing, I’m still labeling the days “1,2,3,4,5,6″, etc. What I really mean, I guess, is POST 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc. There. Now we’ve cleared all [...]
Tour Post 5 – the big easy keeps it greasy
New Orleans is my favorite city in the world.
That’s not to say that it’s the cleanest, most efficient, most diverse, or most unique city (though it’s close) in the world… it’s just my favorite. And that’s because I have a better time there than anywhere else I’ve ever been every single time I’m there. New [...]
Tour Post 4 – hippos and yokels in mississippah
Yesterday was a beautiful reminder to me of why we do what we do, and why we’re all willing to put up with the struggle that comes along with it. Hattiesburg, Mississippi has always been one of our favorite tour stops… seems odd, but it makes total sense. The only thing we, as a band, [...]
Tour Post 2 – poboys, laffy taffy, and stalling in the parking lot of the Quality Inn
I’m hoping that the third phrase of our first two tour posts doesn’t become a regular thing. But so far, we’re 2/2! Awesome.
Yesterday started pretty dern well. We stopped by the wonderful Downtown Seafood in Baton Rouge for some CHOICE poboy action before making the trip west to Lafayette. Sweet damn. If you roll through [...]
Tour Post 1 – ‘cue, the red stick, and stalling on the Mississippi River Bridge
God knows if I can actually follow through with it, but I’m going to honestly, truly try my hardest to post something for every day of what I expect to be a crazy, crazy month-long trip. If today is any indication, it’s going to be completely insane.
So, you may or may not be familiar with [...]
