sitting at Highland Coffee in Baton Rouge. LSU campus is ugly. FYI.

last night we played @The Mink in Houston. great bar, great staff. completely and utterly over Houston though. thank you for providing me with comfortable living for my first 18 years on this planet, now you may slowly drift into the Gulf. proceed. played with a bunch of what Cadger called "White Man's Blues" bands. faking the funk on the soul is no bueno. you can't sing the blues unless you are broke and hungry and right now we Borrowers are most certainly broke and hungry. and stinky. showerz plz.

thanks to the lovely Casey, a Borrower friend from LA living in Houston, we got absolutely obliterated last night, despite a 9 am wake up call. Casey thinks she lives in Houston but 1/4 tank of gas and 30 minutes of driving later we ended up in Seabrook... that ain't Houston, Case. jokes aside, we can only hope at this point that everyone we meet on tour will be as hospitable as Casey and Lilya were. pizza, salad, whisky, tequila, and 2 cases of High Life. was THIS close to convincing her to make us a cake. srsly, this close.

waiting to do an interview at KLSU then a show at The Indie Lounge tonight. hoping someone can point us in the direction of some killer gumbo. fuck i'll eat some goddamn alligator at this point.
