Mt RUSHMORE!!!!!

MT RUSHMORE!!!!!
well,sorry for the delays on updates ,but its hard being on the road with no internet access or braincells...
we have played 3 gigs since the last update..2 in newyork city and one in philadelpia..
one of the shows in nyc was in a trendy club in the east village called rothko club..its was okay..nice people running the
club..and we had a great party with jay and the vice magazine brotherhood afterwards,eric from vice was in great form,we went too a cool club called "hole"which was cool,carlos from interpol was there and so was richard pryor,..we also played a show at the mercury lounge which was a great show also..a small but receptive crowd!
Philadelpia was cool too..we met up with out booker EVa from Fata booking (she rules) and had a fun night..philly is a cool place..Evas dog took a shining to me
and burke and kept trying to shag us..it was a big dog too..his name was jack ..YIKES!
we met up with james lovepolice and monica from sydney and had a nice relaxing night with those two..(a few drinks here and there)..burke took us on his new york tour(yeah right)..we had the lousiest pizza in the whole of new york..ironically in little italy.
then we started our drive from new york to seattle ,which is kinda like driving from sydney to perth...
it has been a very pretty drive so far..we were all relieved to get outta the polluted and super busy new york..nice to see green grass and fresh air (no we arent turning into hippies..although our french tour greg manager is kinda like a vagabond/gypsy, who likes salsa music and pink floyd and wears sleeveless shirts)
we went thru pennsylvania and tried to find some amish communities but had no luck..kept driving until we made it to ohio where we slept in a mcdonalds carpark..pure rock and roll..we woke up and headed thru chicago and stopped the night in minnesota (fargo world) were we stayed in Albert lea,which was so awesome and nice...
it was night time in albert lea when we arrived ,so we hit a bar called "harolds".where there was about 5 other people drinking..our favouite local was a 40 year old mexician dude called benny who looked like cheech from cheech and chong,who after a few cold budwisers decided to do the famous breakdance move the "caterpiller" on the wooden bar floor to the song "black magic woman" by santana,which totally kicked arse...he also had a sweet little teardrop tattoo on his face..we all woke up with headaches and washed the tour van which is starting to smell like a wet dog according to burke!next stop will be MT Rushmore and then thru to devils mountain,which is that famous mountain in the movie "Close encounters of the third kind"..its kinda wierd ..im looking like richard dreyfus,presser is looking like steven speilburg and burke looks like a 70's FBI agent...i hope the spaceships land for gerling that night!CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE GERLOG KIND.
our tour van has also been proudly flying a pirate flag all the way around the USA too..it was funny cruising past the pentagon with the ole "skull and crossbones" flying high!
okay well hello to all our friends and special hello to our adorable mums...we are enjoying this USa summer weather..its stinking hot.
we are also in search of bigfoot.
love gerling.
