The Lashes
5.7.06 Tour Journal from Ben Lashes. Ben Writes:

merry x-mas, we're in tex-mas. i mean texas. austin!dallas!
there really is just nothing quite like enjoying a muggy 93 degree day in a comfort inn parking lot in the middle of texas while you wait for your friends to finish their pancakes at the nearby denny's. that is why i am so glad that i get to experience it firsthand! we have been having fun here in the south and have met a lot of crazy characters. we play stubbs in austin tomorrow with she wants revenge and ok go, who we have spent all of our time in texas with. both bands are completely fun and awesome. we also have an in-store performance at waterloo records tomorrow! it's in the afternoon. if you wanna go be there before five. otherwise you will miss us. and that is bad.
see you soon.

ben!
