we're gonna make it right, tonight tonight tonight

Last night, we were invited to a Spin Magazine private party, where "Does It Offend You, Yeah?" and "Gutter Twins" played sets. Greg Dulli brushed up against my shoulder. I handed a flier for our show tonight to Ali Youngblood from Black Kids, and she replied, "You're pretty."

Tonight we play a surprise Lollapalooza afterparty at Reggie's main room to thank all of you for coming to the Bottom Lounge last Thursday. It's a dance party plus sets from a couple of bands who are playing Lollapalooza this weekend, plus us. (It'll be a very different performance from last time; we have a live drummer, plus a couple of surprises in the works.) The show is free for all H70s fans, so print out this ticket flier and bring it with you to the show.

It feels quite surreal to play two shows in the same two week period with H70s. We've become such studio hermits; it feels great to be getting out in front of people and getting the immediate feedback that's so valuable to the direction of the group. So many of you are coming out to show your support, which encourages us to keep going.

Last Thursday at Bottom Lounge went smashingly well. Over 200 of you came out to show your support, and we're so glad you did. All the other bands were incredibly professional and polished-sounding; we countered with a mixture of energy, presence, and catchiness.

Speaking of the live experience, Nilay keeps bothering me to "ditch the glasses" and "get rid of the flashlight"...of course, I wholeheartedly disagree. what do you think? Let me know.
