Our friend Autumn is a tour manager.  We met Autumn while playing with Jim’s Big Ego.  A tour manager is a person who handles all the details (venue, hotel, gear, food, money, etc.) for a band so that the band can concentrate on things like playing music and watching DVDs.  Basically, Autumn is kind of a big deal.

So, when Autumn rolls through Pittsburgh with a band she’s working with (including The Weakerthans and Tokyo Police Club), she usually gives us a call to hang out.  Recently, Autumn was working with Tina Parol, and invited Trevor, Megan, and I to the show.  Across the street, Kate Voegele was playing, and Angel Taylor was opening for her.  Well, it turns out Autumn knew Angel’s guitarist, so we went over to that show.  I was fairly curious because Kate Voegle is on MySpace Records, and if you’re anything like us and have a MySpace page (I refuse to link to ours - we loathe it), you receive automated messages from Kate ALL THE TIME.  Basically, I feel like Kate and I are good friends, so naturally, I wanted to catch up.

Well, we had a lovely evening with Autumn (she’s in the pic), but all we got from Kate was a pic next to her giant tour bus.  We’re planning on sending MySpace records tons of press kits with this photo on the front - think they’ll sign us?
