I really intended on posting a lot of entries to this but due to circumstances beyond my control, and general laziness, there hasn’t been a whole lot of activity. We do have a ridiculous amount of pictures, video, etc. that we’ll try to get up here at some point when we finish this madness. So anyhow, tour has been amazing.

I can’t believe that when we were in Fargo, North Dakota, it was still part of this same trip. The stories have just been compounding…I hope we remember all of them.

California Dreamin’

We finished up our leg with Ted Leo and The Pharmacists a few days ago and are currently about a half hour outside of San Francisco. It was sad to say goodbye after a string of amazing shows and getting to know them as people a little better. Fargo, ND will not be a night that I soon forget.

A few things to note…

  1. We’ve left again for the second leg of our Fall tour, and are currently on our way to the first show in Columbus, OH with the great Ted Leo and The Pharmacists.
  2. Last week, we entered the WPRB studios with host Jon Solomon, to record a live set for his show. The recording will air on Wednesday, October 10th at 8:00 pm ET during my WPRB Membership Drive show.
  3. Several weeks prior, we were guests at WXPN’s World Cafe Live for a live show/recording that will air nationally on David Dye’s World Cafe program on NPR. This set is scheduled to air on Thursday, October 18th.

    National Public Radio’s World Cafe with host David Dye can be heard on nearly 200 stations nationwide. Fans can find their local station by going to our website: http://worldcafe.org
