The Nicest Guys in the World

Let me introduce you to two of the nicest guys in the whole world.


Arlo and Gus, the old guys pictured above, run Mr. T's Bowl, an old bowling alley converted into a bar venue. And we're not just saying they're nice because Arlo is wearing his Elizabethan Report t-shirt; these guys are genuinely nice. If you're in LA, look this joint up, it's got a great feel.

And here's the hot drummer walking through the door pic:


We played at T's on Wednesday, and then the guys were nice enough to invite us back for tonight. That place just has this magic 'something' that made us play amazing music. Tom's fills were filling, Spencer's riffs were so right, and Tony's tones were on point. Creamy. Tonight's crowd of pissed off Laker fans were glad to have us to console their wounded spirits.

We've had the best juxtaposition of houses to crash at this week. House #1 was comfortably cluttered, and run by our most low-maintenance hosts yet. House #2 was almost playfully precise, as you can see from this set of instructions affixed to the shower wall:


I wanted them to add a few more lines in there, like "Return to bathroom in one hour; check moisture levels with a light cloth. If the cloth is damp, furrow your left brow slightly and invite other house guests to view the anomaly as well. You can then view your furrowed brows together in the bathroom mirror, which, if done with correctness and precision, will provide you with pleasure." It's so fun to see how people live.

Only a few more days of this tour left, but we'll keep blogging throughout the summer. Stay tuned, more to come in the months ahead, like Bob Dylan, band love triangles, and incredible amounts of suspense!

I'm furrowing, but no one else will furrow with me.

I wish my shower came with such instructions- I'm always so confused about what to do when I get out.
