all's well that ends
the official count. 78 shows. 19 countries.

by some amazing feat of faith and perseverance

we have made it to the end of the years of refusal tour.

not without a few speed bumps of course. but as far as i know, there were no arrests and no trips to the emergency room. not to say injuries were not sustained, but a few scrapes and bruises are to be expected. ( that being said, i haven’t heard the full account of last night’s end of tour blow out, which ended for me by man-handling certain band members into the hotel lift to protect them from our rage filled taxi driver ....)

the last 2 shows were great. i personally think the set we’ve been doing is pretty challenging for the audience, especially for those who are not hard core fans. but from the people i spoke to after the show it seems we held our own and then some. a couple of glamorous moments were had as well. at the after show on tuesday night i had the pleasure of spending a few minutes speaking with stella mccartney and liv tyler, who were both very beautiful and very sweet. and last night, we were introduced by one of my musical heroes, chrissie hynde. that’s pretty damn hard to top.

last night, m asked us what our favorite show of the tour was. for me, our 2 nights at the barrow-lands in glasgow stand out, as well as the whole german run. maybe bremen?

warsaw was quite good as well. so, i guess i don’t really know. in the few weeks i’ll poke around youtube and see what’s out there. my brain is fuzzy and my body is worn down but my heart is buzzing in anticipation of getting home and reuniting with my family.
