New Orleans Finale
Well, we’ve made it. It has been a long and amazing adventure, now 53 days later we are in New Orleans. We arrived in the city late last night after running a gauntlet of ocean cruisers, barges, and even a battleship. The last few days have been a surreal mix of industry and the river. Factories with almost familiar smells tinted with the scent of chemicals and large amounts of river traffic have been the norm. Jared and Kyle picked us up and we’ve been enjoying New Orleans. We’ll be back home tomorrow night and can’t wait to see everyone! We’ll be having a big show on November 30th at the Triple Crown with Mira! Look! and Muchos Backflips to celebrate a safe return and see everybody we’ve been missing for the last couple of months. Hopefully we’ll be debuting some new music fresh off of the river. Here are a couple of videos and some more pictures from the last week or so. We want to thank everyone for checking the website and being involved. We’ve really enjoyed the interaction the site has offered and we’ll be continuing the blog format, look for the Ghana blog shortly. Everyone take care and check back soon for more pictures, stories, and whatever else we can think of and hopefully we’ll see everyone at the show!

I’m sitting in our hotel room in New Orleans listening to this music; The Band, Dylan saying
They say Every man needs protection
they say every man must fall
but I swear I seen my reflection somewhere so high up on this wall
A few times on the trip I felt overwhelmingly vulnerable with many wishes to pass through. Now we’ve come off the river and I feel double like my spirit is still passing through to the gulf. Thank you for your prayers and everything. May we all have happiness and share everything good with each other

A beautiful girl helped me get back; and I’m feeling more complete with some nice space around. I also reconnected with my phone, so if anyone is checking this I’d love to talk to you! We’re preparing for our show this friday and I hope it will be a big party. So give me a call or lets get together at the Tripple Crown.
