Days 17-19

Hey, just another quick update.
The show at the Kave in Bangor, Maine went awesome. The venue was probably one of the coolest places I've ever been / played at in my life. The venue was basically a Maine version of the Toms River Show Shed except on steroids. The place was about the size of a large barn and was tagged wall to wall with bands that have come through including tons of awesome bands like Comeback Kid, With Honor, Hatebreed, etc. The owner and operator Kathy was one of the coolest people we've met all tour. She cooked us some delicious homemade brick oven pizza, cheesy breadsticks, and gave us plenty of drink as well. The bands we played with were also all awesome and nice guys. There were 2 drawbacks to the evening however. First, was the atomic mosquitoes that were feeding on our flesh for the duration of the evening (especially Walter, who was bit on stage in the middle of our set) and second was the fact that we had to leave at 1 AM and drive about 10 hours straight to our next destination in Warminster, PA.
Warminster was fun, we hung out and played in our friend Dennis' backyard at a pre-4th of July party, which was a blast. Josh and Dan were beer pong champions, dethroning the once-dynasty of Jim and Ryan. Josh and Dan reigned supreme until they were defeated by Dennis' mom and step dad, which was quite a blow to the egos of team JoshDan.
That night we headed home and slept in our own beds in Toms River and readied Dan's house for the 4th of July Shed Show. The show itself went over amazingly; the rain held out, there was a great turnout, the food was all eaten, and every band sounded awesome (if you get a chance check out these bands, they all rocked it: Colony, C02, Seasick, Static Radio, and Giving Chase). The after-party festivities also were quite fun, there was a fire, flip cup, and even some beer pong, which, once again, team JoshDan reigned supreme.
The next show was at the Rotunda in Philadelphia. All the bands sounded great, especially In First Person, check em out, they are all genius musicians and went you put it all together they have created something so unique, awesome, and overall just plain rocking.
Tonight's show is in New York City at the Lit Lounge, which we are about to leave for in the next hour.
We promise we will have pictures up from the past shows within the next two days.

Cheers!
Dan / OWC
