Y-Tron and I had fun hanging out, eating tofu quesadillas, drinking Red Bull Cola & Ginger Ale, and making beats come out of loud speakers all night last night at “East End“. OK, fine. I was the only one having drinks suitable for a 10 year old at the 2010 Mixtape Meltdown. (FYI: Red Bull should change their slogan from “Gives you wings” to “Gives you the jitters and makes you feel crazy ’til 8am the next morning”).
Anyway, thanks for swinging through. We love you guys. Oh, and the tofu quesadilla they made me was the best shit I have ever had. Just sayin’.
OK, so…Let me just start by saying HOLY SHIT THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THAT “BLOW PONY VS. LOGAN LYNN” SHOW ON SATURDAY!!! Thanks for coming out like a badass, Portland. I have never seen “Rotture” at capacity (which it hit at 11pm) and I have NEVER in my life seen a line that goes all the way around an entire city block to get in to any party in this town. It was pretty amazing. My lighting guy Chad Crooks got video of the line which I will post sometime, but check out this picture of the crowd! It was literally wall to wall with people in there when I took the stage with “The Gentry” at 12:30. Good Lord.
Thanks so much to my new backing band “The Gentry“. They have been busting out amazing new arrangements of my songs and have truly infused something really exciting into my live show experience. It’s a whole new world, people. Go check out their site HERE. Also, big thanks to Airick & the “Blow Pony” crew for having us play their party…and to Artemis Chase for taking such good care of me and “The Gentry” boys all night. We had so much fun.
For those of you who missed it (and for those of you who were still standing in the line when we played) here is some video. It’s kind-of like being there, but with crappy sound!
:)
COME OUT TO SEE US THIS SPRING & SUMMER WHEN WE START PLAYING ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! LOGAN LYNN + THE GENTRY = REALLY, REALLY GOOD TIMES.
Yesterday I got an email from “Google” Alerts which had a link to a painting called “Feed Me To The Wolves” by Adam Osgood. It’s super cool and the guy in the portrait looks really familiar.
:)
Here it is:
Neat, huh? For more information on Adam Osgood & his paintings, CLICK HERE. He also posted scans of his process if you’re interested.
Speaking of FREE, Samuel Thomas (from “The Portland FREE Music Project“) was in attendance and filmed me performing “Write It On My Left Arm” with “Cars & Trains“. This was our final performance together for a while, so…I’m glad we have this to remember the evening for years to come. Tom Filepp is a truly special performer who I love dearly.
Have a look:
See you again at the end of the month, Portland! Until then, MY LIPS ARE SEALED.
