It appears that I will be in San Francisco on March 26th and 27th. Not to be selfish or anything, but is there any way that we could work the tour around this fact?

Even without a tour we should totally have a local concert when you're here. I've been itching to perform again but I don't have enough material for a full set.

So then, if Portland were to happen (keeping the usual 2 day gap between SF & PDX), it'd be on Tuesday (24th) or Sunday (29th) in March... depending on the direction this tour travels... or are we not that far in planningings yet?

My work schedule definitely does not me to tour at that time, unfortunately. :/ Someone else would have to be the Ken this year.

Screwheads are saving their pennies for Spokane this summer. I could put together a solo set for a stop in Portland... I think. But SF & Seattle are out this time, alas :( As are the dates 3/24 & 4/8, for me.

I do not believe that we are that far in planning, but why not? If Sunday the 29th was Portland, does that mean that Seattle would be on Monday the 30th? If we are going the other way, that would put us on Monday the 23rd. Either one is a Monday. How does that work? do do do do do do do do.

It doesn't, yo. Maybe we should start with potential stops/shows and then start throwing dates around for the formal tour?

So if you are out for the 24th, then the 29th sounds more reasonable for Portland, yeah? And it works for Ken.

I think we may be self-sufficient by then. We have a new drummer.

Another one?! You go through drummers faster than most people go through toothbrushes.

(That reminds me, I need to buy a new toothbrush.)

It is true that we are hard on drummers. But then again, they are hard on us.

3/29 is viable, yeah... I keep forgetting that a tour doesn't have to be a big string of concurrent nights. Duhhhhh... :oops:

I am not suggesting that they not be sequential.

If there was something happening in S.F. on the 26th or 27th, I could be in Portland on the 29th and still put on a Seattle show early in the week of the 31st. It's just that everyone else would have to work around us. What do you say, everyone else?

You just need to lure in a guitar player and then try doing a gig without any sort of percussion until the guitar player gets fed up and changes jobs.

It worked before, anyway.

Believe me, we have continued to work that angle with Elvis. However, we may have a breakthrough here. We shall see.

I could probably do another Moscow show if there's interest. I might think Glenn's going to be focusing on the summer show for Spokane.

I was just thinking about this last night. Still headed to SF March 26th and 27th. Would be fun to hook up with some of you tour or not. But tour is better.

Yes, we definitely need to do a show or at least a get-together. Party/jam at my place?

Oh hey Spud, on that note, while you're here you could look at my goddamn balcony in person, too, if it's not too much to ask (I realize you probably won't have a lot of time for that).
