The latest piece? This beautiful, early 70's moderna style sofa; pictured here before a total renovation that included moving it, chasing a cat out from underneath it, and covering it with a blanket. This item is now situated in the space and ready for guests who wish to take in one of our practice sessions. We invite you to come by, sit and enjoy. No smoking on the new couch.

In short, it was fabulous. We loved the pizza, the beer, the new friends who came to see us, the old friends who came to see us, the sound guy, the getting lost and having to cross the Brooklyn Bridge an extra time, and our new hats we bought at a truck stop--we loved it all. We did lose a few things along the way. We lost $1.50 in the Quarter machine at Love's somewhere in Virginia. We lost two days of sleep. Ben Keller lost part of a tooth. And Matt lost his musical virginity. Obviously, we're going back. Soon. We'll try and get on somebody's schedule ASAP. And we'll be hitting up our friends (old and new) up for available floor space. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2865176936445007037-3987546786035472499?l=theempties.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Emptieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05182577629457341006noreply@blogger.com0
