Yesterday,
I arrived in Milwaukee, WI and the ground was covered in a shiny film of watery spots. I had heard that it was a terential downpour the night before we had arrived and all I could hope for was a semi dry day to go for a ride on my newly purchased black Vespa. As we unloaded the truck at the show, we carefully unstrapped our "babies" to see if they had been damaged in transit from Tulsa, OK. Aparently they had been packed nice and tight by Micah and O'Toole. THANKS DUDES! After fueling up my 2 gallon tank, I headed down to Wallgreens and then back to spend the rest of the day at the venue getting ready for a nearly sold out show. I cant wait till I get home and can get this thing on the open road for a bit of distance.
Anyways...here is more of what I learned in the last few days.
1) White Castle..... Not so good for you.
2) Buffalo Wild Wings..... GREAT FOR YOU.
3) Tomorrows meet and greet password has to be Pete Rose.
4) Making websites arent so hard if they are simple.
5) The shower at The Vernon Manor Hotel has semi hot water.... but really cool room.
Out for now.
i want to ride on the vespa. plz. youre awesome. see you soon. p.s. you are totally as famous as andrew. rofl.

YES BUFFALO WILD WINGS! The one by my house used to have $2 well drinks on Monday nights. That was the best. And I REALLY want a Vespa. I am so jealous of your Vespa ownership. Anyway, I hope you have an awesome time with your new toy!!
Much Love,
Allie

Hey Casper--
first time leaving you a message. i just found your blog actually. i kind of hope you read this. i was the crazy girl at the cinci show who requested andrew to write down the lyrics on the piece of paper.. sorry for holding you guys up.
honestly.. i adore the amount of work you put into the messengers and for andrew and everything. its great.
ireally really want to end up going on tour someday being the merch for some band.. if you have any advice whatsoever.. honestly please let me know in some way. im always looking for advice in some way. i have no idea where to start and how to get there!
thanks so much for all you do. have a great time in pittsburgh when you get there (its whereim from!)

Casp,
First off let me tell you it was awesome meeting you in baltimore last july. That was my first Jacks experience and it couldnt have been better.
Its really awesome you like Richmond since thats only a hour from the burg.
anywho, your job is the job i want someday since i believe thats my true niche. See you at the 11/11 show in Farifax!

Dude, White Castle is AWESOME for you...it produces more endorphins which make you happy. and when you feel happy, that's totally good. therefore WC is really good for you. Take it from me, a solid WC eater for the past 21 years...you need more sliders in your life.
PS: I know this is an old post, but thanks for running an awesome show last night at Michigan State, it was even better than White Castle.
