Hello to you,

We're in Banff, Alberta...geez it's beautiful. "Brokeback Mountain" was filmed here. It would be a lovely place for you to have a gay cowboy encounter, if you are so inclined. Brad looked at me this morning and said "I can't quit you", and I just melted.

Anyway, the Canadian tour has been going very well. We sold out all the shows so far and the crowds have been fantastic. 2 security guards passed out onstage in Saskatoon. One of them fell and the other looked at me before he even hit the ground and said "He'll be OK". Less than a minute later he also passed out. I gambled for MANY hours in Calgary and walked out even, which was frustrating. I have a system and usually win, but I couldn't catch a good run on the cards. A lot of work for nothing....

We're looking forward to the US run in late October-November...I've attached the dates below that we have so far. There will likely be some additions, so stay in touch:

Oct 6..................Wild Bill's ........................Baniff, Alberta

Oct 8..................Rock City........................ Grande Prairie

Oct 10...............The Plaza Club............ Vancouver

Oct 21...............The Independent............ San Francisco, California

I missed you in Mankato MN. Saw you in St. Paul 2 months ago. Come back soon. Love you guys. Saw you all 2 times know. I need more. I won't miss another show within 5 hours from St. Paul. I had a hell of a time trying to get info or ticket's for the Underground Bar in Mankato. That's why I didn't go.

It's nice to hear some new info from Canada. Hope you make up some of that money selling the new official band blow up dolls. Since you ARE in Brokeback country I assume you'll allow the guys to buy them too? Hurry up guys...those Glen dolls go quickly!

Much love from Philly!

Awesome! Your coming back HOME!!! Definitely be in Indy 11/3 to see you guys again for the 4th time in 6 mos. Rib Fest was a great show (I wouldn't care if you were a day late) and it was the coolest thing ever to just hang out with Travis and Nico (she is SUPER cool....I love her). Travis, remember, you owe me a smoke and the tattoo thing didn't work out it being a sunday, but I will have me some Melon ink real soon.
Can't wait to see you in Nov!!!!!!!


You're the SHIT!!!

Cant wait for the US dates... gonna make a 17 hour trip to see you guys....when more Southeast dates are set will make it to those also. I have caught 4 shows in less than a year and the 2 upcoming shows will knock my socks off for sure. I am so excited. Glad to hear that the Canadians have been great.. sucks that the cards weren't. Anywho, can't wait to see yall once again.
