We’re back in New York now for some good Thanksgiving eating and a show at Piano’s on Tuesday, November 20. While on the road the Ravens came up with some really fantastic “Would You Rather” questions. Here’s a taste:

Would you rather be bitten by a black widdow spider or a cobra snake?
Would you rather have a tattoo of The Greatful Dead or Phish?
Would you rather play in the backing band for Shakira or Beyonce?
Would you rather run really fast or fly?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Well here we are, all the ravens together at last at a coffee shop near my cousins’ house in Cleveland. It’s our day off so of course we’re playing trivial pursuit, drinking coffee and using free wi-fi. Yesterday was very surreal. We woke up early in Chicago, drove for five hours through some beautiful autumn, Indiana countryside and wound up in Cincinnati by Lunch. After a wonderful in studio session at WOXY radio, we made it up to Columbus for our second show, and third major city of the day. In Columbus we saw our first snow of the season. The kids in Columbus are very passionate about their football (go Buckeye’s). From the stage we asked what football team we should root for and about two and a half minutes of heckling and bar brawls ensued. Lesson Learned.

Tonight we’re going to go drool over Brian Jones’ dulcimer at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, see a movie, and go to sleep early. Tomorrow we’re playing at a cool loft in Lancaster, PA called The Sugar Tank.

We’ve been driving for as long i can remember. I’m typing this from my iPhone as we sprint from Cincinnati to Chicago. Everone is excited to perform tonight – only a few short hours left. Photo and more to follow soon!
