Tonight we played the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA (Philadelphia area). It was yet another great crowd, except for that one asshole that yelled "Upper Darby hates black people!" during black writer/comedian Deon Cole's set.
The Tower is not one of the prettier theaters on this tour. It's a small stage, too, so I was way out onstage, with a great audience view. The backstage was so small that the wardrobe setup was outside in an alley. That's where I snapped the shot of saxophonist Jerry Vivino, getting in a little warm-up after changing into his show clothes.
Our special guests tonight included Philly natives Tina Fey and Trey Anastasio (of the band Phish). Philly sure loves their Tina Fey- they went nuts!
I wish I could tell you about all the great tourist sights I managed to check out. Unfortunately, we were not in the best area for exploration. Besides, these four and five-in-a-rows really beat the shit out of you. You start to value bunk time above pub time and camera time after a while.
Another night on the bus. This time to Washington, DC. See you there.
