This blog's been kind of dead for a while now. Sorry. We haven't had anything all that blogable happening lately, but we are working very hard on a new record and have just been settling back into home life after our three months of touring.

But really this post is about fan art. We stumbled upon these amazing pictures that a nice German lady made. We have no idea what they mean

The Ft. Worth Modern

The Ft. Worth Modern put this little time lapse thing together, and we provided the jams. I think it fits pretty well. Thanks to Dustin.

From their blog:
"The permanent collection has been up in first-floor galleries for a month now. Everything always looks so clean and crisp when the installation is complete, but the process of getting everything to that stage is a lot of work. We took some time lapse video of the crew installing four of the works on view right now and you can see some of the work that goes into installing a show. A special thank you to Mom who provided the music."

Well we're back home in the States, safe and sound. Here's some pictures from our travels.

The End of a Beautiful Thing

The past few days have been getting easier on the road. Our drive times for the last week decreased by about half, and we've become professional passengers. We've slurped up as much of the free coffee and wine as we could. For now, the first part of this journey is coming to a close. The tour with This Will Destroy You has been a blast! Playing all over Europe has been an eye opening experience for the both of us. Meeting people all over the world, eating amazing food, and seeing the most beautiful vistas out our windows. We finished off the tour with a great show at a "Visions Party" in Bielefeld, Germany. Bruce and I stayed after the performing was all said and done for some dancing and didn't get back to our hotel until 5 a.m. the next morning. Thanks TWDY for sharing this with us, we really couldn't have had a better time.

And a special thank you goes out to the tour's merch guy, Hacksaw. He worked hard every night slinging everyones stuff, and did a wonderful job. He was also extremely entertaining in his "Doctor" states of mind at the end of nights.

Here are some pics from our drives
