Barrymore from the Balcony
1 down, 3 to go in Madison. We wanted to share some great pictures that Brett Saul took from the balcony last night. There was enough haze in here to kill a small yak but boy did it look thick. Additionally, we we were all pleasantly surprised when our good friend Jeff Coffin stopped by unannounced to join us on Made to Measure & It's About That Time. As most of you probably know, Jeff played all the clarinet parts on the studio version as well as all the horns on Red Tape and this was the first time we performed any of Mantis with him.
A few other points of note, this week we're debuting out new mobile messaging service with Mozes, UM Mobile. Details of the program just went out in our latest umphdate and can be found on our website but this weekend fans here in Madison (and I suppose everywhere) can choose a cover song that the we'll play on Sunday evening. See below for instructions on how to vote and look for many more creative UM Mobile initiatives in the future.
And finally, we have just decided that the first set of Sunday nights show will be acoustic. As if you needed any more reasons to come celebrate President's Day with us.
Off and running...
