Windows to the world (state)

We have gigs in Oswego and Brockport that aren't farmer's Markets! Woo Hoo!! We're working on syracuse, some more rochester, and ithaca. This didn't come about because we wanted to stray from the theme of the tour, but because the nature of farmers markets is that they come and go, and change a lot while they are here. A number of the markets we were planning on stopping at have either changed days or are no longer in existence, which made it necessary for us to book some non-FM shows. We've been working really hard this week, making calls and sending e-mails and all that, but there's still so much more to do. Today, while at Famous Lunch in the downtown (of troy), I made the sign for our tour that we will display while playing. It says "Almost Awake, Farmer's Market Tour 2006" has a picture of some veggies/fruit in a basket, says "CDs $7" and "Next Stop" with a blank after it, where we will affix a piece of paper that says where the next stop is at each new market.

Also today, Dave and I went to see Lisa's painting of us, which is amazing, on display at Clifton Park Center, and will be the back of our next album, which John from Coffee Planet is helping us design, although he doesn't know it yet. We litterally had to force ourselves to stop staring at it. Lisa is going to be a famous artist. I can tell. And she'd better come to Dreamaway with us on sunday or else I will be sad, not that there's anything wrong with a trip to Mass. with dave and phillip (phillip being the car)...it's just that Lisa would be awesome to have along.

Oh my, I've been distracted by instant messanger. Apparently my character in the wrestling game on our ps1 just turned on dave's character...
