Tyler Kalberg created a video with stunning footage from our last trip to Portland. Then he cut it all to a live version of “Funny Thing.” Check out his beautiful piece of work.

Impromptu Friday Mile set on the ferry home from Doe Bay Fest ‘09.

I can tell you what didn’t happen the last time we played San Diego. We did not go to SeaWorld.

What I do know is that we played to a surprisingly full room at Bar Pink on a Tuesday night. I guess free shows have a way of doing that. Anyway, one of Hannah’s relatives capture the performance on video and gave it psychedelic treatment. You might want to drop that acid now… enjoy!

We are highlighting one video per day leading up to our show at the Crocodile this Thursday. Come join us!

We played a couple shows at The Boiler Room in Port Townsend, a little town across the sound from Seattle. You have to take a ferry to get there, so every time we go, it seems like an adventure. It’s got a quaint downtown on the waterfront with a few great pubs and restaurants.

The Boiler Room is a coffee house with no stage or sound guy. You basically show up and set up the PA yourself and then start playing whenever you feel like it. The crowd is mostly teens, and the times we’ve played there, the crowd has been sparse. We don’t really know anyone in PT or have connections there.

Hannah’s younger brother came with us on this trip, and he captured one of my favorite versions of “Westerfield” in the live setting. A big part of what I like is the lighting and the mood that it sets. Enjoy.
