Dear World,

Backstage in Eugene, Oregon. We are playing in a kind of warehouse venue and it’s freezing, but we just ate the best Ecuadorean food and I found some amazing vintage clothes. They dont make them like that in New York, or rather they don’t price them like that. I love Oregon thrift shopping.

We played in San Francisco and then flew here. A magical show in SF - I couldnt stop smiling watching the mosh pit from stage. And my first official "slow food" lunch (in Berkeley, of course). A magical park where I slept in the sun in mid-day. And a spontaneous pre-season Giants game, involving large quantities of cotton candy.

i’ve never been to Eugene before although I was born in Portland. But my family moved to Baltimore when I was 3 months old, so I am an east coast girl through and through (although Portland and I still have a special thing going.)

I forgot to bring my shabbat candles to the venue, so i guess we’ll light at the hotel tonight.

This is tonight’s love letter to the world.

Love,
AJR
