Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Last night in Iowa City was insane. We played at this sweet venue called the White Lightning Warehouse. It was a huge Halloween show. The venue was huge and hundreds of people showed up, mostly all in costumes and ready to party. We played 2nd. In between each band these burlesque dancers performed, it was nuts. Our set went really well. We played Live, Laugh, Love which we haven't done in well over a year. It was pretty fun.

A Minor Threat cover band ended the night and they couldn't have been more perfect. The guitar and bass tone were both perfect, Joe Ross did the drumming perfect and they played 14 songs with minimal breaks. It really couldn't have been done better. After the show we were all dead tired. We watched a guy freak out about his car being hit for a while, then we got some pizza, went to the house we were staying at and went to sleep.

We were awoken today at 11:00am to a dude telling us we had to vacate our house because a cable repair man had to do some work. We hoped in the Winnie and made a pretty uneventful drive to Milwaukee. We went to Pizza Shuttle and the dude behind the counter recognized us and decided to hook us up with free pizza, soda and bread sticks. Then while eating he brought us even more free pizza. Such a good experience.

The show in Milwaukee was at the Borg Ward, a really sweet spot. Armada opened up the show and they were really good. They did a few Misfits covers which was real sweet. Agress rocked it out. Our set was fun but really weird. Then Harms Way closed out the show playing a few of their rockers. The show was fun and went by really fast, I think it was over by 9:30. After that we headed back to Pizza Shuttle for more great food. We're now hanging out at the Armada dudes house, watching Zombieland and using the internetz.

Tomorrow we play in Indianapolis, Indiana @ The Dojo w/ In The Face of War & Full Rainbow. I'm real excited to see ITFOW play. Tour is coming to a close and I'm pretty bummed. I hope to see some friends at our last show this Saturday @ The Manor. Come out and buy up our merch, we need money to release a full 63 song Hercules discography on cd. Will hopefully be out early 2011 on Nihilism and Pretzel City Records. We'll also have final tour posters at the last show. Come pick one up!
