This is part of the email I got from CD Baby - they must know you boys!! So cute!:
Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow. A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing. Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy. We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, October 16, 2009. We hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. In commemoration, we have placed your picture on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sigh... We miss you already. We'll be right here at http://cdbaby.com/, patiently awaiting your return. -- CD Baby The little store with the best new independent music.
I'm afraid to leave work. I think my fellow employees might be waiting in the parking lot to beat my ass. I've been singing A Scarlet Letters at the top of my lungs all day....not as good as Skibby, might I add. HALP.

We ("The Internet") have a small favor to ask you guys...
You've mentioned MWK shows after the Declaration tour winds down and you've all slept for a month.
How 'bout pulling together something between January 5th and February 10th in Tulsa? ...That you could go ahead and announce in the next 60 hours before the flights go back up on Southwest.
Yeah, Tulsa is cold and icy in January, but you don't even know how big that show would be. The Tulsa Tourism board might even give you guys a certificate or something for bringing that many people to Oklahoma in the dead of winter. Hell, maybe there could even be a PLAQUE involved... Grammy, Schmammy. Tulsa Tourism Plaque! You know you want one.
There is also an amazing band that you guys might already know (Aranda, from OKC) that could play this amazing hypothetical show.
Obviously, this all popped into my head .0000002 seconds after seeing that I could fly to Tulsa for $25 each way during a time when most people wouldn't want to go to Tulsa. So... How 'bout playing Tulsa?
HA! I'm hesitant to add commitments to my calendar in December and January to save room for you guys! :D Your out-of-townie fans need a fightin' chance. Oh, the suspense!!!
