Thank You Pittsburgh

Happy Valentine's Day to y'all...

Just played at Carnegie-Mellon University. Met some great people and are looking forward to playing here again...special thanks to Chris S., Matt + all the guys in the sound crew who helped us out. You rock!

We have benn staying at the Howe-Childs Gate House for the last two days...this might be the greatest place we have ever stayed at. It was originally built in 1861, and is the oldest wood-frame house in Pittsburgh...restored in 2001. My room has a fireplace.
Extra super-special thanks to Angela S. for hooking us up with the show at Chatham College (great attendence...hello Katy, Rebecca, Amber...2 shows!).
Props to Ken and Shannon at La Roche for a killer gig in the student center...Shannon, you are a powerhouse promoter! We arrived at La Roche and found a van with "Viv" written in huge letters on it, a massive banner hanging from some building, and saturation postering...the greatest promotional effort we have seen to date. This all added to a fantastic show, and we are very much looking forward to meeting all of our La Roche friends again.
Anyway, we came thru the last 4 days without a scratch, and were able to play some rocking shows to boot. We are working on some new material, and I am very excited that we were able to try some of the new stuff on the road.
Heading back to San Franciosco in the morning...also many thanks to everyone who came to our CD-release party last week at the Great American Music Hall...it was a really special night for Viv and all of our extended family.

See you next time around,
Pie

Goodnight, G.
