BAND EATS CRICKETS IN LAOS!
Earlier this week we posted a story about the Earth String Band, one of Boston’s favorite bluegrass bands heading out to tour the far east. Here is their first update. To read more about their adventures, go to the bands blog here. The band also wanted us to mention that their album is available for download absolutely FREE but you might care to donate a small amount. Download Here.
Update from Bangkok airport: Did I mention how excited I am to play music in Southeast Asia?! Not to mention the food which is amazing at every turn! So far the beef curry on Thai Royal Airlines has set a new bar for best airplane food ever. I sat next to a Japanese businessman, also 25, who runs a
business selling orchids internationally. He was eager to practice his English and we both worked on how to order Thai food at the desired spice level. The snacks – mix of rice crackers and dried fish and the green tea ice cream add to my high rating of this flight. The seats were brightly colored, and you quickly see that the Thai culture is a very colorful culture. The vibe is very inviting. Now we’re in the airport, waiting to fly to Laos.
Our first concert is on Monday! Even if this seems like a food blog right now, the music and cultural exchange is about to hit really hard and we are so ready to start picking tunes! Thanks everyone out there listening!

Like many Bands visiting Bangkok, they all agree that the place is so much fun. A lot will return for the next concert.
