Go hard!

I've just woken up from the 12 hour coma that I slipped into after returning to LA this morning. I must say this tour was easily the most intense, sleep deprived and alcohol fueled adventure I have ever been on. I wasn't sure what to expect from my first ever headlining tour, and I'm still trying to process it all right now.

From selling out Das Bunker to nearly 900 fans to playing to 15 people at a bar in Baton Rouge, to the van breaking down at the last 90 miles of a 4000 mile journey, from posh hotel after parties to snorting lines of weed at an illegal fetish club, nothing was as expected, and I guess it's meant to be that way. Thanks to everyone who picked us up when we fell down, thanks to everyone who screamed the words when the PA dropped, thanks to everyone that raised their glass to ours and thanks to everyone who went HARD!

I'll drop back into another 12 hour coma right now and try and piece together the rest of what happened. I'll leave you all with my new favorite piece of fan art.

...I just laughed so hard at that picture.
Glad you had such a fun tour. I saw you guys last winter, and it was so much fun. Can't wait for the next time you come to cold, snowy Minnesota.

Thank you for putting on such a great show in NYC and ripping the roof off the place. I know you weren't feeling well, but no one would have ever known by the way you were acting.

You keep coming back and we'll keep supporting you. I didn't have my proper camera on me but I did get a shot with my terrible cell cam that I really like for exactly it's terrible cell cam quality: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bronxelf/5702168280/in/photostream

I only WISH I had my real camera on me because I missed *great* photos of all of you (it's rare someone on stage is so aware of the cameras focused on them, and I want to thank you for that too, even though I couldn't take advantage of it at the time.)

Please come back as soon as you can. You were all terrific and I'd gladly come down and see you again.

I saw you with Combi up in Hartford last fall and loved that show. The fact that you put on just as awesome a show in NYC at the end of your tour AND you were sick just blows me away. A true artist and performer.
