The CD release was amazing.

[HOW ARE THERE NO PICTURES OF THIS?!?!?!?!? – rob 1/2/18]

Isabelle (hurricane) left us standing amidst chaos and broken limbs. Houses reduced to twisted lumber, and neighbourhoods left in the dark for days. Nothing new for this summer. I’m sure if you added it up, we’ve had our 40 days and 40 nights of rain and dark and winds and lightning. We’re close enough to bringing on Armageddon, I suppose. Bush is certainly doing his best to reawaken the 80s’esque fear of nuclear annihilation. Megadeth can have a new generation of fans.

I’m writing from the road. 67 miles per hour is set in the cruise control, and we are narrowly avoiding caffeine crazed truckers, verging on sleep, it seems, as they swerve between lanes, unconcerned about us lesser beings. “No trucks or buses in the right lane” on the New Jersey Turnpike. Seems a good reason to stay here, but of course 67 in a 65 is far too slow for the majority populace, and we’re constantly switching lanes to avoid the onslaught of midnight ratrace.

The CD release party was amazing. We weren’t sure what to expect. The Harbour was flooded, the roads were closed, even the basement of the Vault was closed. We still had 75 people there just to see us, and we made enough money to keep our exploits on the road for a little longer.

The intimacy of just Heather and rob ilyAIMY is definitely my preference, but the energy of the band? There’s nothing comparable…

But now we’re back to the road –
