so, this is it -- the last and final blog. i decided not to write my usual narrative and instead let the pictures tell the story. basically, what happened was the last few days of the tour went so fast and we were back in the states before we knew it.

big ups to the toasters for letting us hitch a ride with them all across europe and a big right on to all the people who came out to all the rocking shows. we'll be back next year, as a headliner this time, and simply can't wait for the opportunity to do it all over again. lastly, thanks to you for reading this humble blog and putting up with my amateur writing and reporting of events. i enjoyed the experience and now am the proud owner of a vitural scrapbook of my time spent in foreign lands. oh yeah, also big thanks to the honolulu advertiser for hosting our travel blog and supporting a hawaii band trying to make a difference. yup, eric
