112011 Euro Tour Recap
Better late than never… This is what I did last summer. Well, the stuff that took place in Europe anyway.
Around The World Pt.34: Summer 2011
As posted on the fab Fader blog.
Hi internet! I feel like writing again. Will you humor me and read my musings? Even in this “click-through” age, can I still write more than 500 words? I hope so because it’s helping me kill time on this flight. It’s been a while since I wrote an “Around The World” post, ironically because I’ve been busy going around the world. I’m not even sure where to start, I’ll just take you through highlights of my last couple months of touring. Walk with me.

Around The World, Pt.33: Magic 8-Ball Tour – West Coast and Canada
Ladies and gentlemen here is the official recap video for the whole tour:
Straight up, the West Coast leg of the Magic 8-Ball Tour felt like a victory lap. Our sets were in tip-top shape after a couple weeks on the road and the crowds out there were some of the warmest of the whole run. Full of chutzpah. The tour was supposed to end in San Fran but we decided to extend it with one last weekend in Eastern Canada, moving the Montreal date and adding one in Toronto. Those last 2 dates were without Kid Sister and Gaslamp Killer, though.
More Bangkok absurdity
Here’s some more evidence of Bangkok surrealism. Same night as the other video. It’s a party it’s a party it’s a party. I edited this on the plane just now.
Jetlagged in Bangkok with Congorock
The Asian Sensation tour is in full swing. Last night Congorock and I finished our show in Bangkok, it was so dope that it had us energized and we didn’t want to go to sleep… So this is what we did instead.
Around the World, Pt.32: Magic 8-Ball Tour – South, East Coast & Midwest
Whoa, we’re already 3 weeks into the Magic 8-Ball tour… so much to blog, so many state lines, so many truck stops, long nights… all of the lights! We’ve done 12 cities so far. I’m proud to say I haven’t messed up a city name on the mic yet. The tour started in the South, then we made our way up the East Coast, into the Midwest. Now I’m not even sure where I am. I will attempt to recount the adventures.
Around The World Pt. 30: New Year in Australia
As posted on the fab Fader blog.
Storytime! I went to Australia for a two week tour around the New Year and it was an action-packed adventure. I was thinking of recounting it all in iambic pentameter for dramatic purposes, but I couldn’t even come up with one lousy stanza. So here is the story as I’d normally tell it.
