Hey Everyone!

We ar soooooo sorry for taking so long time not writing on our blog.
We´re going from place to place everyday, and have not that much time or internet that we use to have when we´re touring. But now I'll give you a recap from the last few days.
After New York, we went to Philadelphia and played at a place called "Tin Angel" where everybody bought our records (ok, there were only six people in the audience, but anyway) :)
After the gig we found a cozy restaurang and some swedish people who was there for work, and then home to our motell for sleeping a few hour. Early next morning, we drived to Pittsburgh. And here our bad luck begins. During the show at the club café, someone broke into our car! They took Louise computer and running shoes..?.. Viktors new and very expensive camera and Rebeckas ipod. So now we can only hope they´ll get something out of their insurance.
So one computer, camera and ipod less we drove to Cleveland and played at a cozy place called "Night Town", were the show started with just a few people in the audience. But in the break people called their friends so we ended up with more people than we started with *happiness*
Now we're approaching Madison but before that we played in Ann Arbor at "The Ark". So did also Sam & Ruby, two sweet and talanted duo from Nashville that will fallow us on a couple of shows.
Last night we played at a very cool place called "Space" in Evanston where the sound was great and lots of people came to the show! bought cd´s and were very excited. And here we are, still in Chicago but soon in the van again on the way to Maaaaadison!

Hello!
The gig on Joe's pub wednesday went well, and it resulted in some interesting meetings. Yesterday me and Viktor did not go shopping with the others, instead we went to the metropolitan museum. It was to big for us two swedes that only had two hours to spend there.
So we had to prioritize! We ran directly to the impressionists and the modern art. I was in seventh heaven and I hope I'll come back soon!

The other girls went running up and down on fifth avenue and ended up drinking margaritas instead. Louise and Sophia had a crazy taxi ride trying to get to a meeting that was planned the night before. Lesson learned, if you want to get to a meeting as quickly as possible dont take a cab in NY use the subway. We went home to sit on our lovely roof-terass in Brooklyn and the wiew of the New york skyline was so cool in the middle of the night with lights and city sound. Now we´re heading towards Philadelphia.Talk soon/rebecka
