greetings!  

if you could have a super power, what would it be?  some people want to fly.  some want to be invisible (i think they may be up to no good).  one friend wants to be able to teleport himself and 4 other people.  he put a 5 person cap on his super power.  another friend wants to be too tall man - “able to reach things on the highest shelf”.  he’s 6’ 2”  i’m not sure he understands the game. me - i want to be able to speak and understand any language. that includes animals - all life forms - maybe plants too.  this would come in handy right about now.  i’m spending the summer in sweden. what a gorgeous place this is. i would probably have to be forcibly ejected from the country if i were able to speak the language.  meanwhile i’ve been leaning heavily on google translate.  i have loved being here and met loads of great people.  it all went too fast. if i am very lucky i will get to come back again.  i promise to work on my swedish while i am away. 

the only good thing about the summer coming to an end is autumn - my favorite season and a fine time for a road trip.  we will be out playing shows most of september  and october in the u.s.  (we being dan mitchell, neilson hubbard and myself.)  finally, we will get to see some of our friends west of the mississippi.  woo hoo!  at two of the shows on the west coast we will be playing w/ our good pal glen phillips. i love glen phillips!  we’ll also be back to some of our favorite spots in the southeast and on the east coast.  i’m hoping to make a new record this december so we may test out some new songs on you.  oh, if anyone is interested in helping us with merch, drop me an email at kimrichey@yahoo.com.  in exchange we would give you two free tickets, a cd and a great recommendation in case you decide to make a career change and go into retail.  you would need to be at the venue around an hour before the show and man the table before and after we play.  here are the dates.  i hope to see a bunch of you out at the shows.  if you are inclined to spread the word that would be great!  all the dates are posted on http://www.kimrichey.com.

happy rest of the summer
