beer nuggets part 2

Okay so I had two paragraphs for the beer nuggets entry and it only posted one. Most of it. Weird. So here's the 2nd paragraph:
The first date of the tour in Pittsburgh will be my first show with Airiel since the Darkroom show opening for Brian Jonestown Massacre. I missed the Milwaukee gig on August 5th because my grandmother passed away and I was involved with the funeral arrangements, and hosted the post-funeral luncheon at my house. It was a surreal weekend, but I'm sure a different kind of surreal than the weekend I would have had with Airiel. The rest of my weekend was surreal because on Sunday after the wake and funeral (Friday and Saturday) I spent the morning at the comic convention and then shot an audition video for an actress friend who was up for a part in a movie, and her competition was Heather Graham

We had some bar food which included "beer nuggets", (which were fried bits of pizza dough) at a bar last night near the Airiel practice space. I met with the boys to load up the cars with our gear to see if we need to rent a trailer, and we won't be needing it. We covered the video and audio recording for the tour and it's going to be great. It will be very well documented with photos, video, and audio recordings. I also can't wait to meet and hear Hartfield who is coming on tour with us too.
