Jacktown Road NY/NJ tour 11/16-11/20/2011

[Rabid Garfunkel]

Ran into Niveous at the New Brunswick, NJ train station, totally by chance on 11/19. He's tall! We (the band) were trying to get the hell out of Jersey before Guido the killer junkie, whose van we'd borrowed, came looking for us. Ever drive a cargo van in NYC? Oy.

Here's us at New Brunswick, New Jersey's Court Tavern. I'd already blown a knee out from wandering NYC for hours that morning (after DIY roady-ing gear from airport to a flat we were crashing at in Chelsea, the base camp if you will), so I wasn't too wiggly onstage... the intro bit is Guido's [name changed to protect my ass] warehouse floor, where we'd wound up sleeping for a night in NJ. Brrr... we didn't meet the pit bulls in the warehouse until the next morning, when they woke us up somewhat abruptly. They liked us for some reason, though I'd wished they'd've cuddled up with us during the night, for some extra body heat.

Bad ass, Rabz! Touring like a rock star.

Very cool that you met up with Niveous. It's become a tradition now that if you make it to NY/NJ, you have to get a pic with Niv.
