Buonjourno Amici!

Whatever, my Italian is terrible.

We arrived in Rome two days after a lovely 40 hours of door to door travel from Australia. Immediately upon arrival we were beset upon by such huge varieties of fine cheeses, cured meats, breads, and table wines that the only proper thing to do was to consume these items in mass quantities, pick up a sipping bottle of limoncello, and prance through Roma and see the sights. Well, since Hankle is still favoring his former broken leg and Dantigan has gone and sprained his good one I do most of the prancing these days. Matt thinks that Dan looks like an evil character from an Indiana Jones movie, what with the cane and all. He needs a facial scar or a funny accent to top off the idea.

First a note to the friends we just left: Australia, you really showed us the finest time as of yet on this visit. We were shocked to find so many friends and fans alike in Cairns, Townsville, Mullumbimby, and other places off the beaten path. Thanks to Quantas for not losing or breaking anything. Thanks to the Sappho cafe in Glebe for always making me feel awkward. Thanks to Chinatowns across Oz for their crispy duck skin in two courses. And thank you Southern Hemisphere for new stars to look at.

Europe we are here and hungry and want to take you all to dinner! But first we must show you the rock! Matt, Dan, and I have cooked up an incredible show for you to see. All the hits, all of the amazing songs you forgot about, and brand new songs for you to geek out on. I was never too timid to say that if you come see me play you'll never see anything like it in your life. Well, with this trio I can say the same thing. You will never see or hear or love anything as much as this show (there are exceptions for people with children or puppies).

List of dates below. See you at one of them! Unless they are sold out which has already happened in quite a few cities already--updates to come.

love, kaki, dan, and hankles
