What a Riot!

Well, the show last night with Farewell Typewriter was closed due to rioting one block from the club. We got down to the Uptown and the employees had just decided to close the club. Probably better for everyone since the rioters were setting cars on fire, breaking windows, and causing a real scene.

Farewell Typewriter is not in the business of playing dangerous shows. Nor do we like to endanger our fans.

Since we didn't get to play, we invited anyone going to the show over to The Fireside Lounge in Alameda. (plenty far from the riot) That was a blast, not as good as playing a live show, but still fun. There were a ton of people that followed us there, we played pool, had some drinks and hung out.

Looks like the show will be rescheduled for Feb. 18th, hopefully you can all make it.

Here's a video of the riot: http://www.wikio.com/video/749830
