Back Home

Well, that's it. The Outsmarting Simon/Paulson Tour '04 is officially over. I can say that I'm tired and smelly, certainly sad that things had to come to an end, but also glad to be home. I'm looking forward to sleeping in a bed, sleeping in a room without someone else keeping me awake with constant snoring, NOT choking on smoke all the time, wearing clean clothes, and not having to brave the filth of public restrooms. Basically, after a month on the road, I'll certainly enjoy the comforts of being home.

Before I forget, I guess I should mention that we still have our show at Hamilton St. this friday. Unfortunately Paulson isn't playing, but we'd love to see some familiar faces...and show you our (perhaps) now unfamiliar ones.

Last night ended with a good show in Taunton, MA and then a group outing to Friendly's for food and ice cream. It was an awesome way to end tour, and we had been wanting ice cream the whole time, so it had to be then or not at all. Paulson "punk'd" us pretty well, and we spent a good while at the gas station trying our best to remove the pudding and jelly from the van. It was gross but, we got them back in so many good ways. Eventually, Greg, Ross and I landed at Greg's house at about 4 am. We wrestled the trailer into his driveway, and tried our best to collect our belongings from the van. Then, it was one final night sleeping in my sleeping bag, and now finally getting home.

All in all it was a great tour. We met so many awesome people, experienced new places, and got to tour with a very talented band, and great people. Thanks so much to all the the people that made the shows possible, gave us floors to sleep on, fed us, and watched us at the shows. We could never do this without all your help. Thank you.
