xmas lights

I always plan on spending a lot of time working on songs when I'm on the road. There's so much time to kill in the van day after day after day. But it never happens. But I'm unable to get into the right sort of headspace to be creative when we're on the road. The only ideas I've had are for songs about driving, and we already have a bunch of those.

It's been a rough week. Small crowds, shitty weather, and we all know the end of tour is nigh. It's funny though -- sometimes the smallest crowds make for the best shows. We were playing for hundreds of people every night that we opened for the Album Leaf, but for the most part they just stared blankly at us, politely waiting for us to finish our set. Playing for 15 enthusiastically drunk fans in Columbus or Pittsburgh is a lot more fun.
