Hate to see you go.

Well, that was awesome.

Last night, we said goodbye to our dear, dear friends in St. Vincent. Our final show with them was in Austin the night before, but last night, they were nice enough to invite us out to watch the taping of their Austin City Limits performance, and then a little viewing party afterwards. It was a perfect way to end an amazing journey. Of course, it felt too soon, but I suspect it would feel too soon no matter when it came to an end.

Our (and your) next chance to see them will be on June 24th, when they play some television show called “Letterman”.

Now, we’re in Mississippi for the first show of our week of touring home. This trip is running out of miles. It feels like a lifetime since we started, but also feels so very premature. We owe thanks to all of you who came and saw us and loved us and took care of us along the way. This has been the trip of a lifetime.
