4.05.09 Day Room
Our flight doesn’t leave until 7pm so we got a day room at the hotel so we have somewhere to hang out today. We grabbed some lunch at the hotel restaurant and then Toby left to drive our van and trailer back to Atlanta. We are all just hanging out in the hotel room now loading up our computers/ipods/iphones with stuff to listen to and watch during the flight. You never know what the in flight entertainment is going to be like so it is best to make sure you have something as a back up. I got a package from Invisible Children this past week with all of their DVD’s so I will probably watch some of those. I also picked up a few books at Borders for the flight. Get In The Van is one of them and I am already about halfway through that. I also picked up a book by the drummer of Semisonic called So You Wanna Be A Rock and Roll Star. It looks like a quick and interesting read.
I have been trying to download some Black Flag albums to listen to while reading Get In The Van but the internet keeps being too slow. I think I finally am about to have Damaged downloaded at least. That and the Minor Threat Discography should be good reading music.
Reading this book has made me want to go buy Our Band Could Be Your Life again. I think both should be required reading for any touring band.
I also think they should sell it with a playlist to listen to while reading. I suppose I will just have to make my own if I ever get a decent internet connection.
