hi!
thanks thanks thanks a million times again for all of your eyes and ears throughout this seriously massive tour of ours.
looking back, we couldn’t be happier with how it went.

things we learned: the beauty of the perfect key lime pie shot, airport security is still no fun, and never to accidentally send a text message to a journalist telling them where your after-party is (that text was meant for you, apache beat Phil!) .

bowery ballroom was the most perfect end of tour show we could’ve imagined, and we want to say thank you to all of our NYC people for coming out and making it a ridiculously sold-out night. luckily, bowery kept selling tickets way over capacity, so a few more people could catch the show.

the blog iso50.com posted some cool thoughts by Steven Graf on the images our friend Tim Saccenti created for our live show.

It’s been great playing some shows here back home. We missed everybody over here.
Been doing some shows with Black Moth Super Rainbow, who are a truly sweet bunch of people.
Played Sasquatch Festival tonight, and stared down a massive cliff at an enormous lake thru our whole set.
Watched Deerhoof, Beach House, Blk Jks, BMSR, and a bunch of other stuff. After sitting in a van for the previous 24 hours or so, I was feeling a little too hot and dusty to really get too involved in anybody else’s live music.
Mild sunburn.
Great festival, tho.

Hope to see more of our west coast friends this coming week.

Here’s a Montana Sunset, as seen from the driver’s seat of our van. The music is a fragment of something new…

at JFK, just before the register at hudson news, stepped 5 ft. out of line to grab the candy i wanted, after standing in it for 5 minutes. stepped back in, and realized the fistful of change i had was actually australian. was promptly criticized by the large sweaty man behind me for “cutting in line, then not even buying anything”. hoping to make him realize i wasn’t being rude, i reminded him i’d been standing directly in front of him for quite a while. the next words out of his mouth were, no joke, “you’re an asshole. you can’t count. you have asshole lips, and you have asshole teeth”.

seriously? asshole teeth? anyway, that was weird.

watched Casino Royale (w/Peter Sellers), 45 minutes of Unforgiven, Flight of the Conchords, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the first part of a documentary on Jack Nicholson.

now, I’m sitting at our home away from home here in Islington, hoping this tour with White Lies is even half as fun as it was with Bat For Lashes.
