10,000LB Hamburger Tour recap video!!!
The amps were on 11. We danced through to the morning light. I bought a horse. It was a memorable odyssey, that 10,000LB Hamburger Tour. Relive it with us one more time!
Thank you to everyone who made it out to one of our shows. To all the special guests as well. To everyone who garnished that burger. Thank you.
Oh and we still have limited stock of the tour tee! Grab it here before they’re all gone…

Around the World Pt. 23: 10,000LB Hamburger Tour wrap-up
As posted on the fab Fader blog.
Time for the final recap of the 10,000LB Hamburger Tour; the second serving, if you will. For those just catching on this lasted all throughout July, traveling across North America on a tour bus with Treasure Fingers and Theophilus London. We did an extensive run across enormous Canada. Normally I have a rule: no more than 4 shows in a row. I’m not sure how but that rule got broken, or bent, and we did a 5 city blitz. The day before that started I was in Vancouver and decided to get a massage at my hotel to try and ease the tour wear-and-tear. Then we went to our first Canadian show in Victoria, which involved putting the bus on a ferry. There’s something pretty phenomenal about putting an entire bus on a boat. But hey, Archimedes wasn’t kidding, buoyancy is very real. We also saw some porpoises in the water as we were leaving the docks. How do you recognize a porpoise? By its fin! In Victoria, about an hour or two before my set my neck started stiffening up. It got bad really fast and I had to play my set whilst in pain. Damn massage! On the lighter side, a girl asked me if I was Amish.
I’m hoooome…
I just got home from the month-long extravaganza that we called the 10,000LB Hamburger Tour. What a rapturous adventure! Of course there will be a full blog recap this week. But in the meantime here are a few of my favorite pics since the last post.

Around the World Pt. 23: 10,000LB Hamburger Tour
From the fab Fader blog.
I’m about halfway into the 10,000LB Hamburger Tour so I think it’s time for some stories. We started off in the South, which I think is a bit unusual. Most tours go through the South in the middle, it’s typically the hardest leg of a tour because the distances are so long. It’s tricky finding decent food on those long drives so the name turned into a self-fulfilled prophecy: We ended up really eating hamburgers all the time. I’m gonna get fat! Someone pass me a parsnip or something.
Top 3 “Hamburger” sound bites
In honor of the 10,000LB Hamburger Tour here are my top 3 favorite “hamburger” sound bites.
#1: Wimpy from Popeye
The best Wimpy hamburger quote is here but some evildoers made it non-embeddable. Do yourself a favor and click over still, it’s the funniest thing in the world and becomes even funnier when recited by Nick Catchdubs. This whole episode is about burgers too:
#2: Steve Martin’s French lesson in the Pink Panther
#3: Alonzo “Hamburger” Jones
Special thanks to my twitter council.

Meet our bus driver Art!
Art is our bus driver on the 10,000LB Hamburger Tour. Art lives in Memphis. He’s usually pretty quiet but always friendly. Theophilus and I decided to interview him.
Mustard is hard at work
Have you met my horse Mustard? I picked him in Miami and he’s joining us on the 10,000LB Hamburger Tour. Here he is on the tour bus, hard at work making spreadsheets next to Theophilus.
Grateful Bear is going on tour!
Today is the first day of my tour and I have my bodyguard Grateful with me. He handled his first flight like a champ, and then we met up with our tour bus. Let the adventures begin!
I hope US Airways finds my luggage… Grateful might need to open a can of whup-ass.
You can purchase your very own Grateful Bear on the Kidrobot site. Limited quantities so hurry up!
