Allentown was refreshing. Close to home so many family and friends came out. Notably, my friend Aki. We used to be in a band together and we often shared common dreams to "make it" in the music industry. I went on to dress up like a pirate and thrash on a major metal label. He went on to get a full ride at Harvard Med. Guess it worked out for both of us.
The show was less than spectacular, especially for a Saturday night. However, the venue had many redeeming qualities. There is a pizzeria attached to the club and the owner always takes a picture with whatever bands are playing wherein, they are eating his pizza. So, free pizza. Score. And on top of this, they supplied us backstage with Yuengling. A treat I fear may not be as frequent during the remainder of the tour.
Tomorrow we play the Jaxx.
