Much to our surprise, we had a pretty successful first tour this past June. Of course we all put in a lot of work, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the truly generous support of the friends, family, and even friends-of-friends who housed us (and often fed us) along the way. We really can’t thank you enough. I took some quick polaroids along the way so we could remember these nice folks.

With our friend Nori in Eugene at her family’s house. Her dad’s name was Sparky, but we kept almost/accidentally calling the dog Sparky.
In Sunnyvale, CA (outside of San Francisco) at the Butelo family’s house. Glenn and my dad have played music together (in this very neighborhood) since the mid ’70s.
In Pacifica, CA at another family friend’s house. Rob played bass with Glenn and my dad, and he’s still at it.
At my family’s house. We had a unorganized promoter bungle our Portland show, so we made the best of it and played a free outdoor show at my family’s house. It ended up being one of the best shows of the tour.
At our friend Snit’s house in Kelowna. He always has wine.

At our friend Sarah’s home in Calgary. Their house was awesome and in the middle of nowhere. It featured a fire pit and a large potato gun. Sarah also recently put us up in Victoria for the Rifflandia festival, so we’re her #1 fan.
In Edmonton with Alan.
Back in Calgary for Sled Island festival. We stayed with friends of friends that we had never met before. They were great. They had a whole basement full of music gear and couches. The blurriness reflects our state of mind at the time.
