Omg rly? Yarly. 11/6 12pm No Lover playing with the fabulous LA band Semi Sweet @ R Bar right around the corner from the Wiltern. BUT:

Fan Haiku Project First Entry
At our merch table every night we set up an email list and on that we ask for people to write haiku(s) about how awesome we are. Here is a selection of what we have so far.

Driving all night from east to west has one massive advantage: you get to see the sunrise behind you. It helps if your van keeps shutting off while you’re driving, pulling you off to the side of the road, then starting back up again as if nothing was ever wrong. You’re trying to make...

Genius photographer Mike Minehart took some great pics of us and the rest of the tour at the Fine Line in Minnesota.
Some of us feel we look a tad goofy in some of the shots but we acknowledge that has more to do with inherent goofiness and less to do with Mikes mad skills. Thanks triple to him!
Meanwhile, the afterparty at the Darkroom in Chicago went super well last night. The Safes get...

Tour Advice from the Experts
Preparing to take off on our almost 2 month tour this fall we (well Peter) asked MetaFilter.com what advice they’d give about life on the road. Here’s a sampling of what we got:
Keep a SECRET stash of cash (or a credit card or two with a large enough limit to get you out of a big jam (ie van stolen with all equipment or drummer in jail).)
Do NOT eat crap or you will pay for it many...
