After a flight back from London, I had one day off to go chill and buy stuff in Georgetown before heading out on an insane run of college shows... We're on our 13th or 14th consecutive show now... We've spent a lot of time in the bus that looks like a van with a trailer... It's kick ass. We spend most of this spare time making fun of each others accents and labeling stuff with a sharpie... (i.e. "official" tour cooler 2002). So far it's been an adventure. I'm so looking forward to this run of upcoming headlining dates - I can't thank all of you enough for spreading the word...

Hey if you go look on I-90 somewhere around Syracuse... you might find pieces of a guitar I've had since I was 15... the other night the trailer came open and my guitars went flying out onto the open road. We had no idea until the next morning when I got the call. The newer guitar survived... but the old guitar.. the old bastard... the sentimental beast that I've played over 1000 shows with was quote: "It looked like it had been hit several times, it was so completely demolished we didn't pick it up". I of course went into immediate denial. I wanted to run back to the spot of the deceased guitar and drop to my knees and scream. As I cleared my head of the tragedy... The mystery of how the trailer popped open solved ITSELF. "Old bastard" was depressed about being the spare tire and killed itself. And, in a fit of jealous rage pulled the new cocky hot-shot guitar out onto the dangerous open road with him. I do know.

Hope you're all enjoying how it's getting all warm now and stuff. I am. I can break out all of my favorite sundresses and sunglasses. Keep well y'all... and we hope to see you on the road...

Cheers-
