    that philly tailgate party was no joke. jesus. ive never seen anything like it. newfie joe busted out the screech after the show in the parking lot in honor of a dudes 75th or 80th show? cant remember. he put the checkmark on the van that night. we piled in the van and got lost in camden for a good 15-20 minutes. late at night, with newfie joe hanging a canadian flag out the window, in a decrepid van in the murder capital of the states.. scary, but fun.

    I'll have to break out my copy of Relix. The Touring Van DVD's from Canada and The Europe-OZ-Hawaii tours are also great fuel to help get stoked.

    If Newfie Joe is in Mexico, he had better make his way over to the East Coast. Wouldn't be a tour without him. When I talked with he and Jason on April 4, after two excellent nights seeing EV in Vancouver and over some excellent Chinese food in Richmond, B.C. (AWESOME GRUB..THANK YOU JASON !!) and on the drive to the bus station at Stewart St. ,Seattle, it sounded like Jason was off to England and Newfie Joe possibly(who ever knows with him?) to Hong Kong to teach english again after they finished backpacking the remaining Ed tour. That said,I'd be shocked if NJ doesn't materialize in NYC or Philly.
