Here at the Rose Music Center, Huber Heights, Ohio - outside Dayton.

It’s visa photo day today, so we’ve lined up to get quick pictures to apply for the Japan visas we’ll need in November.

Since I’m the photographer, I made the decision that this one, of Gavin, will have to be re-done!

The summer heat has eased off, and we’re hoping this cooler weather will hold for our remaining outdoor shows - it makes it much easier to play the show.

I think it’s safe to say, at this point, that the drummers are aware that I’m taking photos from behind them, during the bows!

Long drive tonight, Ohio to New Jersey, where our next show will be. I’ll spend part of the drive updating this diary, and picking a haiku to accompany it.

More soon.
