Dear Simon, Rob and Nick, aka Jesse’s Divide,
It was exactly a year ago that you played Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta as part of the U.S. leg of your Space Wolf tour — a leg I planned with no prior tour-planning experience.
(Good GOD. WHAT were we thinking? A leap of faith all around.)
One year ago, I badgered all my friends to come hear you play.
One year ago, these friends seemed surprised I had good taste.
One year ago, these friends bought you all tequila shots.
Photographic evidence
And one year ago, Rob drank so much tequila, he still had the liquor sweats 24 hours later.
More evidence
Now the four of us are talking about U.S. Tour 2: Electric Boogaloo for October, and I couldn’t be more excited.
This tour will be fortified with more Jesus, more vegan food, more gigs, more fans and likely more tequila.
Crucially, this tour also will feature less driving, less crappy equipment and (I hope) less barfing on the side of the road.
I am forever grateful to Clair for inviting me to go with her to see you that February night in 2018.
Love you guys! You’re simply the best.
Happy Valentine’s Day and Touriversary!
Your No. 1 American Fan
Observe and report 
Badgered is a VERY strong word here. 😉

I watched most of the documentary and was surprised by the absence of a heavy Southern accent when you spoke.
The tour-planning thing looked like a really neat experience. The band is lucky to have you as a fan.

Well, my parents were from the Midwest and Northeast. They didn’t have accents. I was a broadcast journalist, and you can’t have an accent for that.
