Current mood:
blissful
The end is near and Matty, Andy, Jerry and I have had so much fun over the last few years. Well, I think we have had fun--you never really can tell. Farewell letters are generally way too long and usually a bust. This is hard to do, just remember it’s not forever…
Over the years, Hot Lava has had many rotating members: Bill, Andrew P. Gabe, Landis, Cristina. And then there were our ridiculous friends who joined us for one night or another: The Sad Cobras, Anna, David Hood, Stephanie, JoJo, Lindsey, Robert, Wes. And of course there was the Lava family: me + the boys. I sure will miss my family. And because of that, here are some of my favorite Lava memories (in no particular order):
All the weird, awkward early shows at the Hyperlink
Bugging the crap out of Whispertown2000
The Gaffney hotel smelling so bad it caused Jared to puke
SXSW Summer tour with Eternal Summers and the Buddy System—Jared hitting himself in the head with a drumstick until he bled in Asheville
All the shows at Rumors—always super fun
Performing on the SXSW RadioK broadcast on my deathbed
Spencer tagging along with CHILDREN
Bossy singing “I want you back”
Nara boob slip
Always yelling at Andrew to “shut up”—poor Andrew, sorry
The ghost we recorded by accident in Iggy
The Black Cat
Show at the Carport in Austin
Seeing that ghost dog in Roanoke with Matty D.
Rockapella at Sock Hop II
Finally recording a split 7” with The Sad Cobras
See you in the desert, spring 2011.
Love,
Allison
