    Still have “Going to Alcupoco” (The Crust Brothers version) stuck in my head. Such a great rock song.

    Shows w/ Shearwater & Xiu Xiu & Casiotone went well. It’s always disorienting joining a tour halfway-through — relationships & inside jokes & routines have already been established, and I feel like an interloper. The other bands were pretty great, and meeting Owen (CFTPA) and his friend Emma was a real treat. Hope we can stay in touch in the future.

    Finally managed to pick up a Brooks B66 & cork grips for the Univega. Jacked the bars up a little bit, now it is damn-near dreamy to ride. Will still take the Bianchi fixie to work and back, but the Univega will see a lot more action now.

    No band practice in a couple of weeks — I hope we can actually get it together enough before I split for the JV tour. Tentative plans for shows later this summer. Mostly focusing on how to Russian-doll Bryan’s drums so we have even more room in the TDI Wagon.

    Other crap: planning on buying a Telecaster, actually. Warmoth will make me a body w/ contours, which fits my fat gut much nicer. Also, have lost about 15lbs since my birthday, and if all goes to plan, I’ll be at my goal by my next birthday. My personal debt is going down at quite a clip as well, and i just recently managed to pull all of my cards’ interest rates out of the stratosphere. So great.

    Katey is in San Antonio for the week, attending the TLA conference. She called to tell me that a bunny rabbit licked her. That & the Alamo sounds like a party to me.
