The setlist last night was sweet. I especially enjoyed the Gravedigger —> Warehouse segment. The new songs have actually grown on me, especially That Girl is You and Samurai Cop. They’ve been playing The Idea of You for years before they put it on this album, so I don’t really count that as new, but I do like it.

They’ve played Crush at our last two shows and Dave is never with me when it plays, which sucks because that’s one of our songs. I got a text from him last night as it started that said “fuck!” and I laughed because I knew exactly why he sent it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound quite as awesome without Boyd. I very much miss Boyd. I can hear his violin in my head as the songs play. If he’s not going to be able to come back, I hope they’ll replace him for any future touring.

All in all, this was a great show. I’m grateful for such a sweet set, because I think we’re going to skip the Gorge. We have other stuff we’d rather do with our time and money this summer.
