Well hello there, friends of Good Night, States!

We had a wonderful “Tiny Tour” this past weekend; here are the highlights:

• Having our Bridgeport set interrupted several times by an excitable gentleman loudly yelling out questions about our gear: “What YEAR is that GUITAR?” and “EXCUSE ME, Is THAT a SIX STRING BASS?” and “I GOT ONE A THOSE!”
• Meeting the author of our PittsburghDish.com review in person, and hearing some crazy stories about Nirvana before they were huge.  Thanks for the drinks, Drew!
• Scoring not one but TWO parking spaces directly in front of the club’s load-in door in New York City’s China Town!
• Causing great amounts of smoke and burning electronics odor to waft forth from the PA speaker at the venue in Philly.  While the sound guy scratched his head and the audience wrinkled up their noses, Joe used the break to change a string, Trevor hit the bar, Dan hid behind his drum set and Megan made a really dreadful drawing of the burning speaker in her tiny notebook.  Steve, apparently, did not do anything memorable.  But then they found a new speaker and we continued our set and afterward we made lots of new friends and drank drinks and lived happily ever after.
• Team Pittsburgh (3/5 of GN,S), grieving the Philly Eagles’ loss via the van’s radio, arrived home just in time to watch the Steelers clench a Super Bowl slot.  What a weekend!

P.S. Happy Inauguration Day!
