Today the band was on the road well before sun up and caught a morning flight to San Francisco. Everyone and their instruments arrived safely and is now catching up on rest. California is beautiful!)

Chicago concert was excellent. Later during the long van ride home, Nick reached a new level of boredom and decided to create his own crossword puzzle.)

Shows in Milwaukee and Madison went nicely. The venue in Madison was a very intimate blackbox movie theatre that once was part of the stage of the mighty Orpheum Theatre. In Milwaukee the band took a trip to Miller Park to watch the Brewers play against the Arizona Diamondbacks. We left
after 12 innings to go soundcheck and the game apparently stretched on through 15 innings. Next town: Chicago. )

Today various people spent several hours testing out different microphones in what was called the 'mic shootout.' As many as
14 different condenser microphones were plugged in, cranked up, and judged in numerous catagories, which included sound quality,
feedback resistance, durability, and sex appeal just to name a few. The critique session left the group with some difficult choices, but in the end 2 tube mics
and one non-tube emerged as the favorites. The panel settled on the Audio-Technica 4060 for this particular room. Later in the afternoon, preparations began for the CD release party
and the band was presented with a cake.)
