We made it to New York! Our big plan is so ambitious that it’s important to revel briefly in this simple fact: we rode our bikes from Boston to New York. That is totally awesome.
If you want to follow us as we go, check out my two tour diaires, on Punknews.org and on the Willamette Weekly’s Local Cut. I’ll be posting new diaries every week or so. You can also follow our daily exploits at Ditch The Van.
Also, there’s a sweet audio postcard covering the tour that appeared on central NY NPR affiliate WRVO. It was produced by Jasmyn Belcher and you can listen to it here.
Finally, let me say that the response to the new album has been awesome. Thank you so much to those of you who have offered me encouragement, and also to those who have donated. This is the first time in many years that I have self-released a record, and it was risky to pay for the recordings right before I left for a bike tour with many expenses. As of right now, donations for the record are the only merch I have. All of the door money is going to World Bicycle Relief. While I do have some money saved, your donations help keep this tour going. For that, I thank you very, very much.
