mike and i have had an f'in ridiculous time on this short run. anathallo has been amazing. half the time i feel like we should be opening for them. thanks to all the freaks in boston for the show, except for that jackass that stole mike's cellphone. that show was by far the highlight so far, so good that mike didn't even care when we found out his cell had been lifted.

lookout for the daytrotter session tomorrow. mike, tommy and i are in davenport tonight, getting up early to record there tomorrow. and the show in chicago on thursday should be a good one. our pals from minneapolis, dark dark dark, are coming down with our pal ghostband. they will be opening the show, first of three, so if you're in chicago, get there early. you don't want to miss their music.

as for the west coast, we'll be there soon. thanks to all of you who have supported us by coming out to these shows.
