Saturday, May 3rd
Brooklyn, New york
Goodbye Blue Monday (free show)

Today was the day for showering, we all did it.

It was me, Trevis and Luke's first shower of trip. Before my shower, Gabby gave me a haircut, the mane was getting ridiculously out of control and she hooked me up with a very tasteful trim.

In the afternoon, we watched Return of the Jedi and walked around for food in North Bergen, but didn't get anything. It was a day of re-upping. I burned and labeled more CDs to sell, Trevis spray painted more shirts and CD cases.

Around Nine, we headed toward the show in Brooklyn, picking up Stella, a friend of Gabby's, on the way. We were able to park for free right next to the venue and the show was pretty fun. It turned out there was a writer from New York Magazine in the small crowd. Here's the piece she wrote about the show.

SPIDERMUMS
Goodbye Blue Monday
1087 Broadway, Bushwick
Though Spidermums are from Kansas City and definitely sound-check the early-nineties “shoegazer” scene of alt-British rock, they still looked something like a young band from Bushwick, albeit with baggier jeans. The band crammed six musicians and an ungodly number of pedals onstage, filling the room with feedback that was sometimes discordant, often delightful—much like the teeming towers of kitschy trash and treasure that lined the venue.
Up for debate: clueless bumpkins or refreshing outsiders?

We dropped off Stella and went back to Gabby's place to spend the night again.

We wrote on the walls some more.
