The final and sweatiest show of tour. We played the last show in Calabi Yau house history, surrounded by delicious BBQ, good friends, and people who just wanted to dance and have fun. It was the best possible way to end tour.

Fun and creepy at the same time. The metal and bone sculptures next door were pretty incredible.

Stayed a block away from the Hollywood Cemetery, whose history goes back to 1849. It was incredibly beautiful, and I wandered around in awe, not realizing that two hours had passed and the boys had been trying to call me for a while. Whoops. Among the gravestones was the pyramid, a monument dedicated to the 18,000 Confederate soldiers buried there, and two US presidents, John Tyler and James Monroe.

Did some sightseeing in DC, walking for hours, nearly the entire stretch of the National Mall. Still didn't have enough time to see everything we wanted.

Hung out with the Pattern is Movement dudes. Played to a good amount of kids, some of whom had driven more than two hours to see us. Loaded into a basement with a steep staircase and low overhang, which I often have claustrophobic nightmares about. Except in the nightmares, the staircase gets narrower and I end up getting stuck. Hmm.

So I didn't know anyone was still reading this, but after hearing "hey, why did you stop posting?" a few times, I decided to wrap up the tour blog after all. Here we go. We spent a good amount of time in New York, playing in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and commuting back to the Tobias Family house in between. The shows were two of the best on tour, but the trip to Chinatown topped it all. Jeff's parents took us on a whirlwind eating adventure, where we stuffed ourselves with all kinds of amazing food, at a bunch of different eateries. Picked up a "Fudgie the Whale" ice cream cake on the way home, and immediately exploded afterward.
