विंटर इन ओल्य्म्पिया

I don't understand why our blog keeps translating the titles into another language! We just got back from touring with sleeping dog from belgium. The tour was a short 5 days through washington along the puget sound. Now I'm home again working at Bicycle Records and teaching guitar lessons. Danielle is in school, studying to become a midwife, and Sean is finishing his quarter at Evergreen. After the quarter ends, we will be working on some new songs.

We played a show at a toy store in olympia. I have a bunch of children's songs I wrote when I used to work at the children's center at evergreen. It was more adults there then kids, but all the same it was fun to play them. The owner of the store bought tea and coco for us.

I went to the Hollow Earth Radio Indie Record sale at the Healthy Times Fun Club in seattle, to table for Bicycle Records. There were a ton of labels there. Mostly from Seattle and Olympia. There was even someone from Sub Pop tabling there. Which felt kind of weird to me because the owners of Sub Pop are millionaires.

We're planning two tours right now. One down the west coast this march. the other through europe june-september. It is soooo much work to plan a tour. I am looking forward to seeing all the friends we made on our last trip. So many nice folks.
