Hey, How you been? I just saw your update, and thought I'd say "Hi". I actually have my Casket Salesmen shirt on today too...haha. <3 Leslie in Sacramento
i doubt you guys remember this... you might, but i doubt it. but i remember when you played in philadelphia sometime last year... at this really small club/bar type thing... and when you guys took the stage, NO ONE was in the "pit" area i guess you could call it... everyone was standing at the bar or just somewhere else... and i was like... fuck that i'm standing right up against the stage, right in the center.
let me remind you, that from the moment you guys started playing, my jaw was dropped to the ground in astonishment of the greatest music i have ever heard, especially played live... no one ever sounds that good live! ha. but anyway. me and my boyfriend at the time were the ONLY ones even near the stage, getting to experience casket salesmen full force. and i remember at the end of the anaheimlich maneuver, after nate fucking went insane on the guitar, he looked down at me (with my jaw still dropped) and laughed cause i was enjoying this way toooooo much.
even though it would've been cool to have a responsive crowd that had a lot of energy... nothing was cooler than being the only one watching. it was like a personal show. fuckin great.
okay enough reminiscing (sp.?) i love you guys, you're great.... please come play the east coast asap... i know you're busy and it's expensive... but it would be much appreciated =D
