ddrase to see if he was around, but he didn't pick up. so evan and i ate at a greek place - the name escapes me at the moment [i don't think i have ever mentioned this, but i have an OCD where almost every single place i eat at that has a carry out menu - i take one and keep them all in a hanging folder in my filing cabinet]. after chi-town, i drove + drove + drove and evan slept. everyone i have talked to is sicky sick sick, so there MUST be something going around. anyhow, now we're back in toledo, and i should be sleeping, but i got some wonderful music related news: R5 Productions [these shows are both in philly]:
