You know it’s not impossible that that Oreo belongs to me.

Impossible Oreo, Unlikely Kit-Kat

It’ll surly be rewarding in the long run to have experienced pee that smells like poo that you can’t escape. It sounds like something that can’t be topped (or, er…bottomed). So now no matter what smelly, dank dungeon ‘green room’ you find yourself in… or no matter what your band mate’s bodily reaction is to the last town’s chimichanga, it will be joyfully measured against this.

You know what they say, it’s all happening at the zoo! Can’t wait to finally see you guys play later today. And I love that pic of you, Scott, Georgia and Ira so much! Just saw YLT at the zoo a couple days ago.

I don’t think I’ll ever get this story out of my mind. I LOVE it. 😂. I also thought a lot about traveling on a ship like that, watching Shogun, with water and God knows what other fluids are shared. Not romantic.

Sorry about that storm that abbreviated your concert last night in Portland, OR. We don’t get those too often and I’m sorry it happened while you were playing. Thanks for coming to our little town.

Your writing is extremely poetic. I could see, with a little condensing here and there, a prose poem easily emerging from today’s beautiful post. Which is not meant to take away a single thing about the post as it exists. Only, that that I saw the makings of a prose poem ❤️.

Oh, man! Can’t believe I missed this opportunity to see you play at Woodland Park Zoo (walking distance from my house)! I was just there on Thursday for Yo La Tango and Built to Spill. Love this venue! We had crazy weather last night (lightning and thunder, rare for this area), but it looks dry for your show tonight. Wishing for you a great show and safe travels! ♥️

I love to hear that I’m not the only one with long held tour bus dreams - it has always seemed the absolute height of music glamor to me! I would care if it came with pee-air and pre loved Oreos either. Have a great tour! 🚌

You guys were fantastic in Portland, even slightly cut short by lightning-thunder-rain. So good to see you! Thank you for everything. So much! Glad the bus driver got the rolling toilet reigned in. I have felt the eyes bun before!

"Eisenhower's unloved highways"

So clever! Who but Spencer would even know the US Interstate system was born during President Eisenhower's administration? And who but Spencer could communicate with just one perfect word, that these freeways of the 50s were once miraculous and shiny marvels, but a source of frustration today. "Unloved" indeed! Spencer, never stop writing. You have a gift.
