Well, I made it up safe and sound, back to St. John's. What a time!

8 flights, a couple packs of strings, 6 new songs, 15 shows, a bunch of sold CDs, a bunch of media things, and about 20 Subway meals later, I sit in my room again. Hard to believe it was over a month on the road--it feels like I've lived a year in the last month, and after my show tomorrow at The Rose and Thistle, I'll be taking a break (with the odd show here and there throughout August).

I am demo-ing songs for the new album now (especially since I recently bought a tube mic), so I'll be putting them up (hopefully one a week) on the myspace page ([url]www.myspace.com/ifbmusic[/url]). "No Fool For You" is up now, so check it out.

Some thanks regarding the tour. Here they are in no particular order:
