Hi everyone,
We just returned from an amazing 18 day mini-tour of the northern california area. As a unit we got as far north as Nevada City (and got to see the beautiful Yuba River) and as far south as Santa Cruz - all from our homebase of Dan's parents house in Lafayette. A big shout out must be given to John Sankey of Spanking Noise Productions, Barbara and Steve Wright, Ethan Glazer, Harry from Harry and the Hitmen, Forrest Day, and everyone who bought me a beer - without these people we would have sat on our asses all day eating pancakes.
All in all the tour was a sucess as none of us died and we had enough money to catch a taxi from Logan Airport upon arriving back in Boston. On a personal note I must thank the waitress in Nevada City who introduced me to a mind blowing shot called the "Gold Digging Dirty Nazi" - it contained jager, goldschlager, and some 100 proof clear booze. Recreations of said drink have already failed, but I vow to get it right.

To all of our new friends in the San Francisco area: we will be back soon. Thanks for all the love and support.

- Patrick
