The past few weeks have been pretty hectic here in LPR land. Jeremy had a French guy (who he really didn't know) crash at his house from Ash Wednesday until March 3rd. I (Adam) had a good college friend of mine and his girlfriend come in to town a few days after Mardi Gras and stay until the 3rd as well. Not that these things are necessarily bad...its just that after the Mardi Gras, there is some sort of depression/anxiety/general mailase that people seem to get that causes individuals to shutter themselves from the outside world, not to see the light of day for at least two weeks (maybe 40 days?), or until the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Anyway...the bright shining moments during these days have been some shows, and Jon's radio interview on WTUL.
Feb. 23rd: LPR in Auburn, Alabama at Roosters. I love this place; the owner is very hospitable, he has ties to New Orleans so he likes us even more (he plays bass for CrowBar), everyone likes to drink alot, and the crowd is always great. That night we played with Chris Porter and The Stolen Roses (www.myspace.com/thestolenroses), who kicked it hard and left me with no other choice but to get a little too "loose" on stage and start making up lyrics to our songs ("Bottle tree in the sky, blye biddy blye...") on the spot. I think I may have been creating something beautiful--everyone else is pretty sure I sounded like a moron. Either way, that only lasted for a bit and the show went off great. Hopefully we'll be playing some shows up in the Birmingham area with Porter soon.
More on our other recent shows (with pictures! maybe even of an alligator!!!) and Jon's WTUL interview soon...
