Notes from answeringbell.com: Miranda Brown’s post to the NoDepression board: "I guess Van and Cathy are leaving it up to me to fill you all in on Friday…Ryan played the Kendall Cafe in Cambridge. It was dreamy. That place is the size of my bedroom, so I was uncomfortably wedged into a place on the side of the stage where I could not move, but the sound was really good and everyone was very, very quiet while he was playing. He played a lot of new stuff and no Whiskeytown, as he threatened us with having to sing any Whiskeytown song that we wanted to hear (à la that guy in Chicago). After the show (and a High Life on tap! yeah! that is my new favorite bar) Van told me and Cathy and a handful of people that Ryan was going to cut some tracks at a studio if we wanted to go. We followed them out there and we all hung out while Ryan recorded six new songs- four on guitar and two on piano. They all sounded really good, particularly this song he had just written that night called "Abigail". He asked me to sing back-up la-las on the last one called "Idiots Rule the World" (gee-whiz, Richard Buckner and Ryan Adams in the same week). It was a real treat to hear that stuff. We were there until 5 A.M. or so but they didn’t get a chance to mix the songs because everyone was just too fucking tired. I think they were going to try to do it after Sat.’s show or just take the tape with them. Van and Ryan graciously let me crash at their hotel as I had a two hour drive home and was fully exhausted at that point. Saturday I had a lovely, tired day hanging out with Ryan in the hotel room talking about what-have-you. It was really a nice time. Did I forget anything, Cathy? Miranda"
