Tsunami Relief Concert, Granada Theatre

These pictures don’t represent very many bands from the benefit. Mostly Sorta, but also Pleasant Grove, the Sparrows, and ourselves. It was a big success, though, and we were grateful to participate. Thanks to Jayme and Salim Nourallah for organizing, and Mike Schoder and the Granada Theater for hosting. All proceeds benefit UNICEF. For further donations, click here

El Paso

Heart break en-route to Phoenix, as we watch our beloved Dallas Mavericks get eliminated from the NBA playoffs by the Sacramento Kings 119-118. I am still a bit shaken up about it. I guess I need to stop watching once the playoffs and defense begin to be played. Some of us recovered a bit when Calgary fanned the flames of our false hopes, with the Redwings beating them 5-2.

Phoenix/Marquee Theater w/ Ben Kweller, Death Cab for Cutie

1021 miles- who knew Phoenix was so far away? I guess we did. We also knew that the last ever Little Grizzly show at Rubber Gloves in Denton the following night. It was not possible to miss our friends swansong, so as soon as the show was finished we began our preparations to drive overnight back to Denton. The Grizz went out in a majestic blaze of glory, and it was well worth the sleep deprivation it cost us to make it back in time. The folks in Tempe were wonderfully kind to us. We haven’t spent nearly enough time there to deserve the reception we received, so thanks for listening and sharing such encouraging words. We will try to make it back real soon, friends. This was way too short a run.
