Our show last night at Comet Ping Pong went well considering our set time wasn't until after 12:30 a.m. We had a great time there and can't wait to play there again. They have a wonderful restaurant in the front of the building that serves amazing pizza. So amazing in fact, we went back there for lunch today.
When we went back to Comet Ping Pong they were hosting a record fair with loads of different vendors selling all sorts of records. The place was packed and no doubt many of DC's music royalty were there - I only recognized Ian MacKaye rolling in at one point.
After the record fair we headed to the National Zoo and saw all sorts of animals (obviously) and made it a point to see the Giant Panda bears. Most of the animals were taking it easy for the afternoon and having a nap, including the pandas. Once we finally saw the lone sleeping bear (the others were in private rooms apparently) we drove over to the National Mall to see the Lincoln Memorial and afterwards we thankfully managed to connect with an old friend we hadn't seen in seven years.
And tonight we're spending the night with some good friends in West Virginia before hitting the road tomorrow to make it to our second to last show in Covington, KY.
It's hard to believe that these two weeks have flown by so quickly. The end of tour is always depressing to me, but it's good to know we can make this work. [00:52]
