Hi All:
We're back from our tour on the west coast, and we had an amazing time and consider it a complete success! We met so many people along the way, and received so much hospitality, that we wanted to take a moment and say thanks to each and every one of them. Without them, this tour would not have been possible, and the shows could not have been so much fun, and we might have starved, or at least fell ill from malnutrition.

First off, we'd like to thank Mahmood and Flower Booking for setting up our shows with Ted Leo. We had a blast playing those nights, and hope to work together more in the future.
Then, we'd like to thank Ted Leo, James, Marty, Chris, Nathan, Scott, and Nicole...the shows were incredible, it was a pleasure just watching you guys bring the noise each night. Nice hanging out with you all, and lets share the stage again. Anytime, anywhere! Same goes for Quasi- Sam, Janet, Joanne, and Dan, you guys rocked every night, it was a pleasure to see and hear you guys/girls perform.

In San Francisco...
The whole tour would have fallen apart without the help of Mike and his mates of AM Magic. Thanks for the amps, the floor space, the good vibes. Thanks to Rebecca, Spencer and Fletch as well! A Huge Thanks to Karen and Chad for storing our flight cases, and Backbone Media for receiving our mail. Thanks to the Great Amercian Music Hall, possibly the best venue ever. Thanks to Lee for the great sound, and Ted for letting us in the next morning! Thanks to Phil for monitors and BBQ, Jen, NuNu, Oliver, Sarah, Pria, Nick and Lauren for their support, Andy, Gary, Bridget, Stephen, 12 Galaxies, Matt Bauer, Lindsey, Alex, and all the top notch people of Or, The Whale, the wonderful people of Parson Redheads, thanks for great show and hope to see you sometime on the east! Also, we'd like to thanks Skewed, Pork Store Cafe, El Feralito, Martin Mack's, The Gold Cane, The Little Samrock, The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, Muir Woods, and Peter of The House of Nan King for providing great food and drink, and for giving us respite from the road.

Lastly, we'd like to thank Motel 6, for being a consistently cheap and decent place to crash far away from home, and the Black Bear Diner, for being a savior from the usual crap food along the highway.

I think that's everybody, although we might have forgotten a couple restaurants and pets. We'll be back to see all of you, hopefully next year! We'll have photos up on our website soon as well.
