Happy New Year ~ Zenith, Jamies, YIV & tour!

OK, So I know I'm about a week off, but one of my resolutions was to take it easy. Not that it's *been* easy, you know, it's just a lofty goal as most resolutions are...

My new year was rung in at Your Inner Vagabond, where Between Liberties was playing the midnight set. To make a long night into a short story, we set off the fire alarm with the smoke machines provided by Agnes Wired for Sound and spent the moments after the champagne-toast-pillow-fight trying to figure out how to work our new fire alarm. Neither the fire department, the Pittsburgh police force, our smoke detector company, our landlord nor our neighbors knew how to turn off the alarm. Hence, the ensuing tape-pillows-up-to-the-wall part of the evening. Once the noise was significantly reduced, we continued the festivities until the wee hours of the morning.

I do hope that's indicative of the rest of 2008, though I could do without the incessant beeping. Thanks to those of you who have made it out to the past few Between Liberties shows - you were some of the first witnesses to the library of new songs we are amassing. We look forward to serving you more music, over...
