OOPS!

I have been informed on this day of a most egregious omission from my list of people to thank from the first half of tour. Carly and Brandon, thanks for your time hanging and for sharing with us your fine home and foodstuffs in El Cleve-O(the first day of the tour no less). And for your cool dog, whose name has escaped me.

In light of this, I must extend my apologies and thanks to anyone else who i may have forgotten to include!

Road Update!

We got to Austin this morning at about 6:00 am today, and it's HOT, as expected. Since we left Tennessee for Texas, the highs have been in the range of 108/109 degrees. There's no A.C. in Vantasia, so we're sweating our butts away. Tonight we'll be playing here in Austin at Beauty Bar with our bros Boyfrndz.
