08 IS FOR OUR KIND OF LADY tour.

i'm going on tour in february with some dudes (again)!
i still feel like the tour should be called the "'08 IS FOR OUR KIND OF LADY" tour, the quotation a drunken text i got from my best friend on new years eve. the full text reads: "thanks for calling before i got too drunk to call you. i love you and FYI 2008 is for our kind of lady." isn't that such a nice text? most all of my lady-friends have agreed, 08 is definitely the year of the lady. (this tour name has no political insinuations).

the tour also might be called PRESENTS & LOVE TOUR 08, because the tour contains both valentines day & my birthday, both of which i am VERY excited about. so you can decide which you like better.

i'm touring with the indubitable dylan metrano of tiger saw (myspace.com/tigersaw) and joe arnold, impeccable jazz fiddle player of summer tour fame will be accompanying my sets. we'll also have friends in certain cities hop on stage. you seriously DON'T want to miss it. plus we're driving all this way in the snow. lots of snow. if nobody shows up we will have traversed in vain.

mark your calendar & forward this to your friend that's in that town over there who would come out to see us play.
