 Post subject: Eisley owned The Engine RoomPosted: Sat Nov 08, 2003 4:10 pm 
I only hope the pics I took don't suck. I thought if I got there at 7:30 that I'd be able to get a good place in the front - not a chance sonny. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get a parking place this time around. And that merch room - whoa! I have been to The Engine Room a lot and that is the most packed it has been since I have been there. At least I got me a copy of Eisley's Marvelous Things. And it was produced by Aaron Sprinkle too! Cool! One of the guys behind the merch table, who tactfully urged each customer to leave a tip, affirmed to me that the Marvelous Things ep was good when I told him to fetch it for me. It seemed everyone else was buying "Brand New" stuff before Eisley's show. I think that changed after Eisley's performance. I didn't hear one boo or hiss coming from that audience. I wish I bought a shirt though. I didn't think to do that. Oh well, that's more for me to spend at Nada Surf and Death Cab for Cutie's show tomorrow night I guess.  _________________ https://soundcloud.com/kiteswithoutstrings/tracks |

I couldn't believe how hard it was to get a parking place this time around. Yeah, parking was rough. I didn't realize the Toyota Center was so close... and the Rockets were playing Orlando tonight. Go figure. But the show was so good that it was worth the trouble. I ended up parking on a dark, deserted street. But I'm still alive. By the way, thanks Eisley for being such nice people. My apologies for not being more courteous, but it's difficult to do much more than shout a few words at a time with Hot Rod Circuit playing in the background. I had the misfortune of not getting Chauntelle to sign my poster, but I did meet her before I bought my poster, and she was super nice
I love the new EP. Marvelous Things is an incredible song. And once again, happy birthday, Chauntelle. Good luck with the rest of the tour. Rock on! _________________ "If you're a ninja, every day is like friday." -Jamie M. |

The show was very cool. I loved it. It was cool how once I got in the Engine Room they were standing right there meeting people. The whole band was nice. After seeing them with coldplay at verizon theater I wanted to watch them again and I did. I bought marvelous things and love it. I also got an Eisley t-shirt. I would have bought more stuff but I ran out of money. |

I had gotten some pretty good pictures the last time I saw the band though (at the Gypsy Tea Room), and I was lucky enough to get this one of them signed: 
Thank you Sherri. _________________ "If you're a ninja, every day is like friday." -Jamie M. |

yeah the parking situation was terrible. there was rockets game at the toyota center that is about 100 feet from the engine room. we parked next to a squatter in a porta potty. good times. _________________ vinyl junkie. |

Had I thought the picture would come out so nice I would have written it down. But all I can tell you is exactly when it was taken.

This one is pretty darned good. It's better than any of the ones I took. I got some good pics of Sherri since I was standing right in front of her. I wish I could a pic of the whole band like that. _________________ https://soundcloud.com/kiteswithoutstrings/tracks |

May 10, 2003 at 11:38 p.m. if I were going to take a guess i'd say the "buttery clouds are dripping into my mouth..." part of Treetops. She did that same pose(sp?) at the NTNMF last October. ok now i'm freaking myself out so i'll stop. _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

Thank you Sherri. that is freaking awesome. i'm a tad jealous. hang on to that, for sure. i was a little disappointed in the engine room as a venue, but the show definitely owned. i dunno if any of you people saw me, but i was standing over on sherri's side towards the front, wearing a brown long sleeve shirt and jeans  _________________ you know that you are not alone i need you like water in my lungs |
