The Crowd at Toad's Place
The show at Toad's Place in New Haven was marvellous. Much jetlag within the band, but it was shrugged off for a fun evening - helped along by a great crowd. Reminded us why we've always liked playing at Toads.
Bill and I did a medium sized signing at Cutlers Records, a nice shop near the venue. I took some photos of Bill signing, of course - we saw a lot of the same faces later at the show.
Drove to NYC after the show, and now on to Philly on Tuesday - instore at Tower Records, and what should be a very good gig at the T.L.A.
Note: quite a few people have written asking if it's o.k. to take photos at the shows (unlike with Crimson!) I've contacted all the clubs, and neither they nor the band mind photos as long it's without flash.
