keep them doggies rollin'...

good morning.
just wanted to thank you all for making the summer east coast run so great. I'm not sure how many times I announced someone's 50th, strazza, or 100th show this summer, but it's... well frankly, it's crazy. you guys are awesome. I hope we're doing it some justice.

it seems to me like we've been playing really well. we've hit a nice stride of being a well oiled machine, w/o being burned out (which is hard to imagine considering how much we've been working since we began touring this year).

thx also to the folks of portland. it means a lot to us to receive that kind of acknowledgement from the mayor of the city (for those who missed the shows, we were presented w. a key to the city). we have such a great fan base - really great people - & it's great knowing that portland gets it.

it's always been important to us, that we leave a favorable impression on the venues where play. likewise, it's important that the towns & cities welcome us back year after year because our fans are so awesome. (so even though rob is keeping the key - it's really for all of us!).

take care,
al
