Ben emailed me to say that Brian got pretty drunk last night at their first show of the tour, but he was nowhere near death. He only needed to get his stomach pumped twice, and after that, the doctors gave him a nice lollipop, so he was happy from there on out. Unfortunately, in the midst of his drunken stupor, Brian tried to fight Chris for his share of the drink tickets, and Chris and the rest of KWH locked him in the van until Brian remembered how to use door handles again. Overall, this is better than either Brian or I expected, so rock on, Brian.

Brian's cat just gave birth to kittens (Awww…), so we're lining them up to be Bonzai Kittens, so he could take a few on the next tour. It's so much easier to deal with cats in jar form.
