10:38a - Been there done that and Here we come!!!!
So we (me and Mr. Angelo Spencer and little Miss Panda) just got home the other night from our whirlwind 2 month United States tour! It was incredible! We got to play shows, do stuff, and hang out with Jeffrey Lewis, Jack Lewis, Herman Dune, Tiny Masters of Today, Schwervon, Karl Blau, Patsy Grace, Paul Baribeau, Paleface, Midtown Dickens, Spoonboy, Erin Tobey, Matty Pop Chart, Underthrust, Good Luck, El Olio Woloff, Metal, and Mecca Normal (and probably others I am forgetting). You should look all of these people up. They are all amazing. It was a dream come true. And in SF I got to play all the songs from Alphabutt with the kids from the album!!!! Sophia, Macalaster, Amani, Jason, Ange, and Panda all onstage with me!!! AND for a bunch of the tour I had one of bestest ever friends Matt Tobey as my band. Holy Smokes. I am a lucky girl.
And it may seem like I forgot, but this band needs a paragraph all to themselves. The second month of the trip was with our dear, sweet friends L'Orchidee D'Hawai. Holy shit. They blew my mind every night and were wonderful travel companions every day. And an awesome backing band on a couple of my songs. Panda misses her four funny uncles already. (They have a REALLY good photo slide show from the trip on their profile).
I took a lot of pictures too, mostly of all the good playgrounds we hit. I will do a photo post another time. And, oh man, we got to see so many good friends, and so much family along the way. I will post one picture of Panda and her cousins in Colorado. So good! Those boys are big. Some of you might remember when the twins were brand new and little Emerson was sooooo sick and we all thought good thoughts for him! Look at him now!!!!
Emerson, Charlie, Jaden, and Panda
So, yeah, here is the info for the upcoming stuff. I am sorry there is not much stuff in Europe. We have a lot of family and friend visiting to do in the time over there. When it looks like off time on the tour schedule we will be busy with Papi and Mimi and Great Granny and Baby Zoe. Sweet baby Zoe!!!
