I started writing a blog about all the food I’ve eaten on this tour the other night, but I haven’t finished it yet.

I’m about to play my last show with Shane & kHill for this go-round, at a “hackerspace” called TESLA at 97D Webster Street in Worcester, MA, which not only is a place to hack but has a forge for blacksmiths and kind of intimidates me.  We’re going to rap and play 8-bit video games and be friends.  Thank you, America.

Tomorrow night I’m kicking a solo rap show at a karaoke bar in Syracuse on my way back into Canada.  THAT’S JUST WHAT I DO.  Then it’s mad karaoke all night, obvz.

This is really fun.

It’s true, the rumour you’ve heard… I am venturing out on a United States tour once again!  Shane Hall and Mikal kHill are accompanying me, by which I mean carrying me in their iron horseless carriages from the south on up.

Thanks to Rusty Shackles for the dork-faced poster!  I think I’m Bowser.

HW’s “Shithead” acoustic version; guitar by Shane Hall, human beatbox by Jesse Dangerously.  From the abortive Cleveland stop on our insanely fun “Break A Branch Off The Crazy Tree And Beat Your Dick To Death With It” tour of spring, 2010, where our venue got changed to a Starbucks and we wound up doing a Ustream (and pizza party) in HW’s amazing fan Chris’s apartment before I got on my 3 a.m. plane to Austin for SXSW.

Catch the vibe, ride with it!  Plus get psyched, America, to see me and Shane with Mikal kHill next month, touring up from Orlando through (hopefully) Columbia,Roanoke, Charlotte, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Rhode Island or Boston or something.

I like that days three and four of the itinerary are basically Charli Baltimore!

If HW wasn’t such a hateful beast, we’d have him along for this tour, too.  By “hateful beast,” I mean “busy at school.”  But kHill is launching his sad as hell new album, dust., so you’ll be crying too hard to feel sad about anything but the web of misery that permeates all of our thin mortal existences.
