Valencia, 11/20/07

I’m writing this from hour 6 of my 8-hour train ride home to Buffalo for Thanksgiving. Seriously though, trains are pretty sweet…less gross than a Greyhound bus, and cheaper than flying. And while it also takes about 7 hours longer than flying, that time can be spent doing productive activities like starting to edit all the stuff we shot with Valencia last night!

Last night was probably one of our favorite shoots to date. Shane & Brendan from Valencia joined us at Angels & Kings for an interview. They played us a couple Valencia songs, and then Shane played some songs from his side project, Promise of Redemption.

Some screengrabs from the acoustic performances are up on our myspace right now, so check those out. Keep an eye on Inklings in the next week or so because the Valencia stuff will probably be ready to post fairly soon.

Also keep an eye out for new stuff from Jered— last week he spent 4 days on tour with Mike Herrera (MxPx) and his side project, Tumbledown. He’s got a ton of pictures up on his blog, and he did an interview with Mike that will be posted on Inklings in the near future. He and Kelsea also caught up with Whole Wheat Bread last Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your turkey (or if you’re like me, meatless turkey-style loaf.)
