Well it's about time Charlie
How are you? Damon and
I are both well. I have spent the last couple of weeks learning the
alphabet in French and 1 - 10 in Mandarin. Just because it seemed like
a good idea. Damon has been monitoring my progress online. He has also
been purchasing a van and is now driving it to collect me to start touring again!!!
We have also spent a good deal of time
talking to each other on Skype. As both our mothers would say "the
technologies is so great".
If you live in Canada you should also know that as
well as learning multiple languages these last few weeks, Damon and I
have been jogging and working out. I base my work out routine on Rocky
IV. Damon bases his more around Rocky II with a touch of Rambo. The
reason for this fitness is you my dear Canadians! We are coming to see
you. Our dates are...

Canada so come on out and say hey!
Another reason we had to get fit was because
Silversun Pickups asked us to go on tour with them in the USA with Cage
the Elephant. Both amazing bands! All the people in these bands are so
fit and buff. Damon and I look silly next to them. I know we look silly
next to them because we toured with Silversun Pickups earlier this
year in the UK. They were so much fun. On that tour I said to Damon,
"Hey Damon go stand next to Christopher from Silversun Pickups". He
did. Then I said "Oh wow, you look silly". Christopher didn't say
anything he just looked scared.
I haven't really had a chance to stand
next to Cage the Elephant in person yet. Actually, yes I have.
Backstage when SSPU played with Metallica in Austin at SXSW.
They looked pretty tough but I didn't have a chance to compare quads. I
will on tour. I didn't see SSPU stand next to
Metallica but I think they would even look tough next to them.
See how tough this tour is going to be? Damon and I have
also been given several Rocky soundtrack cds. Actually, for real I think
our label gave them to us. Which makes me think that both Cage the
Elephant and Silversun Pickups have these records as well. Maybe
that's what record labels do? They give their bands Rocky
soundtracks. Anyways, we are going to traverse the continent with that
blaring. I might even wear ankle weights on stage under my jeans. If I
fall on stage you will know why.

For the record, we also have the Knight Rider theme
song. Actually, I think Damon has a best of David Hasslehoff
record. It's catchy. Like the flu.
We will check in with you on the road! Make sure you check in with us.
Sail safe and stretch properly. You won't regret it.
