Tour: DAY SIX

Well, we are at a dope clothing boutique called RUMORS in Richmond, VA, where we will be playing tonight. reminds me a lot of Etoile but with less vintage. Wheat and I rode by a huge monument of Robert E. Lee today, gotta love the south. Apparently it's supposed to rise again. Still waiting. Wheat has been photo documenting a lot of the tour, as well as a lot of girls for his personal enjoyment. He and Kyle have been on a Canadian Mist binge thus far culminating in Kyle allowing me to Joe Strummer his hair last night in the hotel. eat yer heart out Alchemy. shit looks good. As some of you know, we brought along all of our bikes; 5 in all, and it's been a blast getting to ride around every city with our own agenda. However, yesterday as we were leaving charlotte the bike rack on the back of the van slipped and broke itself and the back window. $100 dollars at a Wal-Mart later, we have a new and improved bike rack that no longer sits on the back window.
All of the shows have been going great so far with awesome turnouts and cool folks. By far the best tour we had(knock on wood), although I do still miss Yardley and Brian coming. probably the only thing that could make this better.
This week we venture into the Northeast and leave the warm embrace of southern hospitality. More folded arms and "i've seen this before" faces staring back at you. always a tough sell. If any of you bones, or reader of bones, have any friends in Washington,D.C., Philly, New York, or Boston, try to get them out to one of our shows. especially D.C., for we know not a soul up in that bitch.
we all miss you guys and wish we could experience this with all the bones, that's why I'm trying to keep you up to date as well as I can. Still kind of a bitch finding a good spot to chill and write with a decent wireless signal.
Oh, and if you ever get a chance definitely stop through Richmond. Old southern history in every building and, like I said, one of the last stops before the south fades to north. be well. BAH BAH!!!
