Day 8: Notta Comet gets shafted at Princeton

Due to me needing to become a real person, I left the Notta Tour for their Philly and Brooklyn shows. They were fantastic and all the people who went there were wonderful. But if a show happens in a venue and it isn't blogged about does it make a sound?

No it doesn't. I rejoined the tour and the Princeton show happened and was documented by pictures and videos. We knew little about the show going in. It was in a dorm room? The venue was called The Shaft? Did the RA know?

Then this happened:

Man touches ceiling as crowd touches man as Dan touches camera.

Apparently the last time, Princeton University had a dorm show it was in the 80s. Since Princeton is an old school, I am not quite sure what time period this refers to: 1980s? 1880? 1780? 1680? Who knows? But Notta Comet and Girl Arm played the first one in what the organizers of the show said was a while.

Also the promoters and staff of the show were awesome! Thanks for organizing the show, getting people in, and dealing with security when they came. Shout out to Harrison, Chester, Nick, Arjun, Jun, and whoever else I am forgetting.

Oh yeah security came to bust up the show.

the shaft 'staff' t-shirt. it is a little vulgar. the sun is a dong fyi.

I am terrible at taking pictures with my smart phone. Sorry Jun!

GIRL ARM made the crowd dance. Like booty-shaking. There were shaking butts and a really fun pit.

Evidence of GIRL ARM's ability to cause booties to shake.

Alex of Notta Comet and I were both rejected from Princeton but we aren't bitter or anything about it at all.

Evidence of Alex not being bitter about his rejection from Princeton three years ago. There is no evidence about my lack of bitterness.

Notta Comet played an encoure due to popular demand, yay democracy by mob rule. Although I didn't get video of the encore however I got video of the breakdown at the end of Paradoxical Undressing. Sadly blogger won't let me upload so I am saving the footage for the tour doc! Also listen to the Minutemen if you don't already bc they are part of Notta's musical DNA and are an incredible band. 

This picture was a happy accident. Sorry to the person in it.

After the awesome show, we loaded up the cars and went to Alex's house where we grilled and ate steaks (Zakir and Eli had tofu).

 This was once an animal and morally we shouldn't eat it.

Vince, Connor, Tristen, and Alex eat while standing up.

I hope the Shaft happens again. A DIY space like that would be wonderfully beneficial to Princeton and touring bands.

SHAFT! SHAFT! SHAFT!

The next day GIRL ARM and Notta Comet (pictured) were interviewed by Ali from Toronto and WPRB

All hail the rising of the Shaft!
