It is really crazy and busy in manhatten, so many people crammed into a small area. We head back to the apartment in brooklyn and drive the vans to the venue. We played in a small space in williamsburg brooklyn. The kids at the show were very nice and accepting to new music. After the show we take the vans back to brooklyn and head into the apartment for a few minutes.
