The Fall of Pittsburgh

White Chocolate Mocha with Raspberry, bitch.

Last night was rather interesting. We arrived in Pittsburgh in a old downtownish looking area, surrounded by bars and unique restaurants.

Woa, some guy who I thought was Burt Reynolds sat down here at Starbucks. Where’s your limo, BURT?

Anyway, yes. Show. We loaded into Rex Theater with only two other acts that night. Green Jelly wasn’t on the bill for some reason (I find out there was drama with their old bus driver and the venue; nothing to do with the band), so it was just a local opener called Motopsycho, then Psychostick, and finally Nashville ‘Ginerhole. :P

The draw was rough when we hit the stage since it was a 21+ only show. When Nashville went on they had a bigger crowd which is good for them.

The venue itself was awesome; there was a green room upstairs big enough for all of us. I typed out yesterday’s update in there and enjoyed the solitude (nice ‘n rare for a Rawrb on the Road). The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly and I think we’ll be going back there if we can muster an all ages show.

Across the street Fall of Troy was playing. Alex and Matt were able to catch their set and meet the band themselves. After their show we met at a bar and chatted for a while. Great guys, I really like that band so it was quite the honor for me to meet ‘em. They knew who we were due to all the posters across the country. YES!

We left that night and drove straight to Erie, PA. Wal-mart, then hotel. Thank you Priceline App on iPhone.

That’s all you get for now. YES.

What I learned: Bums can be told “NO” without guilt, seniority is funny, and I love steak sandwiches.

    Was at this show. The rex theater was different but the show was awesome! Coming up from West Virginia I wish you guys could of played a longer set. It was the greatest thing I have done recently. Bought at much mech as money would allow (100 big ones, lol). My kids were jealous (8&5) they couldn’t see you guys live, lol. With much editing for them they love some of your songs too! I hope you will have more t shirts on the Psychostick website soon. Keep up the great work (Love the new digital Appetizer songs)!
