new blog post?
yes
chillin on the bus right now, just finished watching CB4
life is good.
leaving minneapolis and heading to chicago to play the final show of the tour in chicago.
and now “the box” is on, worst movie ever. actually passes through the domain of “so bad it’s good” and back into awful zone in the first hour.
it feels like these last few shows – san fran, portland, seattle – we’ve just gotten the whole show all dialed in and now the tour is over. but we’ll be back out soon enough with all our knobs set to ten. yes.
ahhhh

MICHIGAN RAINCOAT VIDEO

jackson MI

hey all,

we’re back on tour, back in the US. off to an unexpected but memorable start: we were scheduled to play at 5:30 in jackson MI at the “land of nod” festival and I SHIT YOU NOT from 5;30 to 6:45 it poured rain. monsoon level. it would have been entirely hazardous to play, they started shutting the stage down and it kept raining into the evening.

not to be defeated by the weather, we grabbed our guitars and headed out to a tent to play some songs acoustically. we just had our semi-hollow guitars so it was a pretty quiet performance but it’s definitely something we’ll remember for a while to come. it seemed like everything was against us having a good show and in the end i think we all had a good time. thanks to everyone who was there for listening, hopefully we can post a video of it soon.

in other news i just ate red lobster for the first time. ?????

peace,
