In a fit of optimist I'm getting started on booking a tour for this July. We just turned 20, and with the last 3 years off from the road, we need to return to form.

The legendary Straphanger will be joining us for the 1st 5 days- they started 25 years ago, and I'm so excited to hang out and play w/ Ike, Jason and Brian. Another group of tight bros will join us for the 2nd half, and perhaps also for some or all of the first half.

the parameters I have at this point- July 15-25th, Include Grand Forks, ND in the first 5 days, begin and end in either Minneapolis or Chicago.

I'd love to hear ideas, suggestions, stupid shit we could easily be talked into. Where should we play? are there non-show things we can make happen? Wanna screen Eric's film about touring? Foxy boxing?

No pressure but you have people in Edmonton Alta and Regina Sask who'll take care of you if you do a western Canadian thing!

No ideas but I feel like I'll need to try and get to Grand Forks for that show at the very least.

If you swing by Colorado, I'll make sure you eat like Damn Hell Ass Kings. My band would be happy to open for you.

That's a fair bit outta the way, I know.

Great to hear from you. How are you doing? Might not work for this jaunt, but we'd love to make it happen sometime.

I'm awesome man. Almost done with school, band is/was going alright. I'll have to shoot you a message sometime.

Hey Chris,

Depending on day of the week, I'm sure HiFi would be available to play with y'all in the Summer, assuming all is safe.
