Well, it’s been a busy couple of days since we arrived in St. Thomas. After being delayed an hour on takeoff in New York so they could de-ice the plane, we landed in 80-degree weather on a tropical island in the Caribbean to discover that the rum is cheap, the sea is warm and taxis are really expensive.

We’ve played our first of four gigs, which had its share of technical difficulties (monitoring system was literally all plugged in backwards) but once we got it all sorted, the gig rocked and they all loved us! We sold some merch, which was super helpful for our budget, and we’re now frantically packing up to head over to St. John (the island across the way) for tonight’s gig.

The only downside so far has been the plethora of mosquito bites I have received. I’m a bit of a magnet for them, as well as being allergic, so my legs currently look like an angry, red map of the world. Hello, hydrocortisone cream.
