///rolled into NYC around 6pm and headed straight to Greenwich Village and the church where we were supposed to check in for the CMJ Music Marathon that was already two days over and would be what we would be up to for the next two days. www.cmj.com
after getting checked in we met up with The Grown Children then went on a direct pursuit for Indian food. we succeeded in that mission, but parking was a whole nother story. Jared and I drove around for a good 30 min before finally settling on a spot near the restaurant... turns out it was metered until 10:30pm!! so i got nailed with a $65 parking ticket... not too stoked about that...
but the amazing Indian food made up for it... as well as the company...
from there we cruised to the Lower East Side and spent the evening venue hopping catching a bunch of CMJ shows... highlight being bumping into our friends from We Vs. The Shark and then catching their side project's set at the Cake Shop... Pegasuses XL. it was awesome. although sound at the Cake Shop wasn't all that awesome. soon found out that the best part of CMJ was bumping in to friends and chillin with friends... friday would embody this spirit super well... thursday was a good start...
also dropped in to the Mercury Lounge, the Living Room, the Bowery Ballroom, Crash Mansion and Arlene's Grocery. ended at Arlene's and just hung out at the bar since we were with our friend Steve who didn't have a CMJ badge... super fun night. hangin with Jared, Brianne and Megan in NYC. we were all very excited. we were originally supposed to play a Fanatic showcase this night, but it being cancelled allowed us to just chill and roam... it was nice.
we all crashed that night at Steve-o's place in Brooklyn. yet another late night.
