People,

What the hell is up? I'm writing from a fold out couch in Philly, where Jordan and I just spent about 4 hours trying to doze while Pete and Gordon endlessly jabbered about fantasy baseball. It sucked because even my most severe passive aggressive sighing couldn't get them to shut the hell up. Good lord.

Anyway, so far the tour is good. I plan on writing a huge tell all about each individual day, but for now I'm going to just try and ceck in with a couple highlights.

-I have broken more strings in the past three days thanin the last year. Luckily, when these strings snapped they managed to take a good chunk of skin form a bunch of different fingers. So now my hand looks like I had a chainsaw accident or something.

-I am getting really good at The Incredible Machine. That game rocks. Nuff said.

-This has been the tour of broken/stolen equipment. Between us, we've had a bag of pedals stolen, about ten cords swiped, two other cord malfunctions and a clear guitar that cannot be trained, bribed, coerced, or tortured into staying in tune.

-Saturday night we played on a beach. Literally. That was nice.

More later...
