Well, after quite a few crazy days of rehearsing and packing, we departed for tour Tuesday.  It’s a little over 13 hours later, and my excitement is building.  I really love being on tour… I guess it brings out the gypsy in me!

Too much time in one place stagnates me.  I love the excitement of change, and I love the changing scenery slipping past me from the van window.

There’s another thing exciting me right now.. the change in weather.  While many people love the Southern California weather, I’m happy when the temperature drops, and it’s time to pull my jacket and scarf out.  I think this started when I was 5 or 6 when I had a bright yellow puffer jacket and matching yellow and white striped beanie – both with Snoopy’s pal Woodstock on them.  I couldn’t wait for the first day of the year that was cold enough to wear them!  Anyway, this next month of driving holds lots of promise for me because I’m pretty sure I’ll get lots of cold weather… and maybe even some brightly colored fall foliage.  Yay!

So, we’re driving through Northern New Mexico along I-40, and it’s cold.  We still have some hours of driving left.  Our first show is in the Chicago area Thursday night… the start of our Fall tour with Bobaflex.

Those guys put on a great show.  And we have a few surprises in store for our sets as well.  So if you are in any of the cities we’re hitting, be sure to come out!

And if you’re not, keep checking back here.  I promise to take lots of photos and even shoot some videos on this tour.  We plan on posting lots of blog entries here during the next month… And we want to hear from you too!  So be sure to register on the site and post your comments.  I just might pick my favorite one to send out a little Hydrovibe care package…
