Hello Brent.

Travis, how you doing?

I'm doing great. How are you doing?

I'm all right man. My tour is basically over just today you may notice I don't have much of a

voice left and I am in Chicago through the auspices I think I'm pronounced that incorrectly but the I think you nailed it generosity of my friend Jeff Brenneman letting me crash post tour

But I'm pretty good. I'm satisfied but kind of like happily exhausted.

Well let me ask you this question with all of your touring

you're roaming the countryside. Were you able to celebrate the 4th of July?

Did you have any big 4th of July extra Gansz's?

Well, the thing about touring, particularly when you're doing a show a day and there's no tour bus, you're kind of doing it,

guerrilla style, you really lose a sense of what day of the week it is.

And the 4th of July happened while I was at a convention called Anime Midwest in the Chicago area.

And I was really focused on, you know, fulfilling all of my obligations to the convention, which was the final appearance of the tour.

We got to spend 4th of July with our friends, Travis and Rachel, who hosted us at their home, and they have like a lovely rooftop area in their apartment complex so like

everybody like down there it's like seven different you know condos in this wood stretch we got up on top of all

the roofs and there's like 360 degrees of fireworks like in Los Angeles there's so

many different fireworks shows going on and then everybody setting off their own

shit. I live in a story of Queens where they celebrate Greek Easter which often is a

different a different day than everybody else's Easter, but even when it is...

Oh man that would be way better.

I guess that didn't quite make it in the translation over to English, but the thing is

they set off fireworks, typically, the midnight that Easter begins
