Homecoming Show/Tour Recap

So we're about to be back in new orleans (our gps says our eta is 5:37pm) and that means our summer tour that consisted of 40 shows covering most of the continental US, is coming to an end. We have a homecoming show coming up in New Orleans on the 28th with Summer Blondes (met them in Oakland. So amazing) and Twin Killers (we met two of the dudes in this band at one our first shows in Baton Rouge ever and their music is fckng insane, in most definitely the best sense of the phrase). The info's all on the flyer. Hope to see our Nola homies there.

My apologies for not blogging after Devin headed back home. Here are some highlights from the trip, post-St. Louis:

<>Much beer was drank.
<>Many faces were melted.
<>Many girls (and a few sexy monkeys) were impregnated.
<>Sean shaved everything on his face but a creepy mustache.
<>Recorded three new songs in Steve Buscemi's basement.
<>Summered for a week in New York.
<>Two girls told Sean that they "wanted to fuck your brains out".
<>One bet he "fucked like a beast".
<>Slammed a 30 brick with two other homies in Muncie, IN.
<>I fractured my foot and acquired a boot from one of the aforementioned "homies".
<>Partied with Jean-Eric in Philly on 4th of July.
<>Fractured my foot worse late that night in Philly while dancing to Big Moe.
<>Bender apologized to Sean for beating him up physically and emotionally.
<>Paid $20+ at at least 5 tollbooths.
<>Ate real Buffalo wings and I choked on the fumes before I even bit into it.
<>Met a girl named Butterfly and her pet fox.
<>Held a fox.
<>Went to the Boston Aquarium.
<>My brother's ID (expired in 2006, says I'm 6'0" and have hazel eyes) worked numerous times.
<>Bought an inch of muenster even though the dude said I couldn't order by the inch ("cheese by pound, only dick in inches").
<>Danced my ass off in a bar in New York while sporting my rad boot.
<>Sean stayed up until 2pm in Harrisonburg, VA with Richard from Maps and Atlases and got caught stealing ziplocs while completely wasted in James Madison University at approximately 6am.
<>I showed up a new friend who claimed to rule at hula-hooping. NO. I RULE.
<>I read four chapters of "Into the Wild" while driving.
<>Accidentally started driving to Boone, NC instead of to Wilmington, NC for a while.
<>Miraculously met up with Dongles in Boone, NC.

We met so many amazing/hospitable/helpful/generous bands and individuals that we are incredibly thankful for and indebted to for being slices of heaven on earth.
We are so lucky and glad to know and have met such great people while on the road. We can't do it without all of you.
We love touring and will do it again soon.

Day 9 - St. Louis, MO

My last day with the dudes, but it was so awesome.




We got there early for a radio station session where they recorded 4 songs live and had an interview while I watched team USA tragically fall in OT to Ghana on my laptop.
We hung out with the members of Spelling Bee, who were so so nice and treated us to a potluck dinner and showed us their awesome Anime collection and in-house arcade.
The venue was one of the coolest places I've been to, a huge colorful art-filled warehouse on a hill overlooking the river.
The show was even better, all the kids there knew how to have fun and Chris and Sean gave it 100%.
Not to mention, free popsicles were distributed to all.

Then that was it, I left at 1am'ish (unfortunately missing Spelling Bee Yea, it left at 3am and I got home at 8pm.
Yuck.

It was worth it!
luv you guys

Day 8 - Carbondale, IL

Illinoize.



We rolled out of Nashville pretty early. Stopped for some foods, Chris got some strings, etc. We got to Carbondale and a had a little trouble finding the place, we went to the "wrong" house a few times. But, once we settled in it was an easy chill sesh on the porch with the awesome friends who lived there for a few hours while we waited for the night to get started.
Caddy hit it second of the bands and hit it hard. The show was again very sweaty, sensual, intimate, rockin'. Our good budsfrom H-Town, also on tour, Female Demand, tore it up next. The good response and party meter with both sets was pretty high.
Afterwards it was a relatively long night before it all died down and we broke out the pull-out beds from the sofas. I made the mistake of calling the leather sofa, that I stuck to violently all night. It would be my last night of sleep with the Caddy crew on tour.
I wept as I slept.

however, the next day really ruled! (St. Louis)

luv
