The end of the best tours are always bittersweet... You are excited to sleep at home, excited to see old friends, and not as excited to leave behind the tunes and the times out on the open highway.
the whole west coast was a blast.
a summery: of cities and food
-Seattle: an amazing day - I had scallop chowder down by the water and burnt my tongue.
-Portland: ate at mothers.
-San Francisco: last show with Aaron, I ate some sweet cuban food downtown with Tyler and Sara.
-San Diego: ate at the venue and got a chance to see some old friends. Keith sat in and played with us on both the California Keith, man. Good dude. Also, Don Heffington sat in with us for the last two show. What a guy! who's he played with you ask? oh, Bob Dylan. That's right. After our set we went up to catch Aaron playing with the Greyboy Allstars. yes. a great night of music.
-LA: ate noodles next to the venue. Benmont Tench sat in on a lot of the tunes. Love that guy.
And so, all good things come to an end. I'm off to latin america. Sean's off to working on WPA. Maybe put another record out in the next five years...
to be continued...

Man I'm going to miss this tour :(

applauding. thanks for coming to Chicago even though we are meterologically challenged. will never forget the night at the Abbey. good times.
vaya con dios, gentlemen, wherever you roam. pax et bonum. and don't let it be five years before you work together again.... because your whole is more than the sum of the parts.

I can't help but notice a common theme here....food?
Posted by: Erin | February 11, 2009 at 04:43 PM
lol. @ erin - guys like food. seriously. at parties or whatever? girls talk and guys eat. (actually, guys both talk AND eat sometimes. it's kinda crazy. you'd think that they'd be eating, making "wow, this is good food" grunts, and glancing at each other occasionally. but no. they eat and actually hold conversations! amazing.)
the tour was great. i'm so glad that you guys did it. the fiction family CD is a jewel, and i'm positive that anything else you guys make in the future will be an equally stunning jewel. best wishes. :)
