We recently asked Rosie Thomas to send us dispatches from her latest batch of tour dates. She ended up being too busy having fun with her pals Denison Witmer and Sufjan Stevens (also on the tour), but she managed to get another one of her friends, comedic mastermind, Sheila Saputo, to send us some words and photos.
April 12, 2007 - Philadelphia, Penn.
Dear De De,
Tour’s hard. I’ve been eating hot dogs everyday at truck stops and have gotten terrible IBS. Rang the Liberty bell again tonight, sang “The Streets of Philadelphia” and kept calling everyone “brother.” Slept
in the van tonight because Denny and Rosie told me they needed someone to watch over the car all night in case of break-ins. I was like a watch guard. I covered my face in black marker so I looked invisible. (Sucked getting that off the next day. Wow, it really hurt.) Drank about 20 Red Bulls to keep me awake all night. It was freezing but I was so alert. Denny and I made out again after he played. He was like slurring his words and stuff, but it was so real.
Dance like no one’s watching,
Sheila
