Yr desert's not a desert at all

I keep finding myself talking to strangers about Pela, who played with us on the northeastern leg of this tour. We only did three shows with them, but they loom large in memory. We were all inspired by their attitude -- those guys never take a night off. When the band members outnumbered paying customers in Providence, they played in their underwear, just to keep themselves interested (we've had our share of such nights since then, but the clothes have stayed on). Amazing guys, amazing band. I hope we go out with them again soon.
