So this is kinda crazy. We're leaving for a year tour on 9/2, but decided
to book a show in another city in the complete opposite direction of our

apart from the normal things (vegan cake, soy white russians, boxed wine) to

Hi everyone,
I always liked even numbers. So what I'm saying, is, 2008 should be
awesome. Or else it's back to odds. Actually, 2007 was pretty good. We
played 40 shows, I think, and I just changed my guitar strings once. 2007
also brought the relocation of a good Seattle friend, who went ahead and set
