is where we are, in KANSAS CITY BABY.

In Kansas City the sun shines all day and the trees grow muffins and sweets.

There’s a lake of gin we can both jump in, and the handouts grow on bushes!
In the new-mown hay we can sleep all day, and the bars all have free lunches !
Where the mail train stops and there ain’t no cops, and the folks are tender-hearted !
Where you never change your socks and you never throw rocks,
And your hair is never parted!

Etcetera.

The show tonight is outdoors in an amphitheatre. Cool. Think of the opposite of the Camden Barfly in every possible way, and that’s where we’re at.

Last night we were in St Louis, and we played a great bar called the 2 Cents Plain. In the state of Missouri on a Sunday it’s illegal to sell alcohol on Sunday unless you serve food as well. With this in mind, it’s remarkable how drunk we managed to get. So drunk in fact, we might have left a box with all our t-shirts in by the side road. Shit.

The night before that, we were in Chicago and we played two shows in one night, which was actually a lot of fun. Plus we got to drink two riders.

The night before that, we went to Niagara Falls, which is awesome, even at 1am in the morning. Rob went over in a barrel. No danger.

Shows in Montreal and Canada before that were a lot of fun, and had some of the nicest audiences so far on this tour. Thanks, Canada.

I went to the zoo today.

The day after tomorrow we’re going to Denver where there are scorpions and tarantulas, apparently.

Anyway, enough, here’s a recording of Fix The Sky A Little from The Chicago Allstate Arena, recorded by the excellent Brennan Houser. It’s free. Have it.

Next time, some photos.
