The Figures in the Snow and myself made it back from from a 2 week journey around the West Coast and Southwest.  We averaged 330 miles a day, with 12 shows in 12 days. Some of the highlights include:

1. Finding out our drummer, Shea, forgot his clothes at home at our first hotel stop in Oregon

2. Shopping with Shea for clothes in San Francisco

3. 420, Plush, Kris Kerry, and Michael Serpe in sunny Tucson, AZ

4. Las Vegas, James Morrison, The Art Bar and Brandy Vinyl

5. Kimber, Doug, Via Maris, and all of the 5th City crew--MODIFIED ARTS, Phoenix

6. Turn Me On Dead Man in Oaktown.  The Stork Club throws down for GM and Figs in the Snow.

New dates to come-- Hope to see you all out and about!

Graig

our only day off on this tour. spent most of it partying and shopping in l.a.
leaving for sunny tucson in the morning!

day one, random thoughts from our bass player, jeff mccallum-

johnny singer bliss forgot his clothes, and unfortunate twist for him, and and endless source of comedy for us. if we feed him enough and he bulks up over 100 pounds , sporting our clothes may be an option. until then he's on his own.

more to come- our first show is tonight!

Today I replaced the mixes on this page with the final mastered versions.  

For your listening pleasure, the Optigan. It aired march 5th on "All Things Considered"-
