...today was a travel day, under unsettling circumstances. Its especially unnerving these days to hop on a plane shortly after news like today's terrible accident in Queens, NYC. Our sympathies go out to the victims, and to NYC which has taken far too much greif of late. Our own travel was uneventful, save for the random bag searches (folks, these days it pays to leave that polka dot underwear at home, because chances are a total stranger with white gloves will be sifting through your luggage while everyone looks on!)(not that i actually have any polka dot underwear...i hope!)

...got a bunch of questions regarding the autographed cd's now available in the online store. Are they real autographs? Yes, they are real autographs, hand signed by each member individually. Which bass player signed them? Scott. Do these facts also apply to the autographed cd's available at the merch stand on tour? yes.
