Subject Tonight Madison! Tomorrow Omaha! Columbia! Dallas! Austin!
Body: Hey everybody!

Flansy here--writing to y'all direct from the TMBG tour bus! It's just day two of our tour, and I just got off stage in Bloomington. The bus is already filthy and the vibe is distinctly good. The Beachwood Ballroom in Cleveland was a terrifically fun gig to start the run. None of the insane electrical problems of our last gig there, but memorable none the less. Some of the nicest people you'll meet on the road working at that venue. Tonight we were in Bloomington performing at the Bluebird Nightclub for the first time. It was a steaming cauldron of rock. A very enthusiastic, sold out crowd. Had an amazing meal before the show analyzed by our resident foodies Brendan the tour manager and International Player Frank Vilardi, who has been doing a highly laudable job filling Papa Marty's rather enormous drumming shoes.

Tomorrow is Madison. We love Madison. Onward and rockward, y'all.
