    Web shop open for business! Plus a new 7"!
    Dear friends,

    I am writing to tell you that the merch shop is once again OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!  I have shirts, tote bags, CDs, vinyl & posters available for sale, including this brand new single:


    CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE- INSTRUMENTALS #2
    random colored vinyl 7" in a boring white sleeve (Stationary Heart Recordings)

    A1. tomjustice_instr
    B1. whitejetta_instr
    B2. whitecorolla_instr

    Do you like instrumentals!? Well perfect. Here are some really nice vocal-free
    versions of extremely popular Casiotone for the Painfully Alone songs for A)
    singing along with B) remixing C) taking it easy to. I'm proud to have
    co-released this record with Stationary Heart Recordings, who will also have
    this single available through their website, which is
    http://stationaryheart.com/. That means you can order your copy along with a
    bunch of other Casiotone stuff, OR along with a bunch of nice Stationary Heart
    stuff, which will soon include a couple of Casiotone shirts, by the way! So,
    your choice! You won't be able to find this record in shops, though. It's mail
    order or merch tables, folks. Did I mention there are 500 copies?

    So here's the shop! http://www.cftpa.org/shop.htm

    That's it for now!

    Bye,

    7/29 Salt Lake City show just added!!!
    Casiotone for the Painfully Alone will be perfoming a FREE INSTORE at Slowtrain Music (221 E Broadway - SLC UT 84111)
    Wednesday, July 29 8pm
    www.​slowtrainmusic.​com
    All-ages & free but donations are totally acceptable & you can also buy a t-shirt or a record or something if you want!!!

    And just to explain to the good people of Omaha & Iowa City why I am playing in Salt Lake City & not their fair cities, here is the thing: Since my car got wrecked, I have to drive back to Seattle to return my rental car before I fly home to Chicago, as opposed to driving back to Chicago, which I unfortunately can't do now.  Salt Lake City is on my way from Denver to Seattle, and the good people at Slowtrain were nice enough to let me do this last minute instore to help me make a little gas money.  I will make up the sadly cancelled Omaha & Iowa City shows as soon as I can.  Maybe in September.

    Also, if anyone can tell me when it's proper to use cancelled vs. canceled, I'd be super grateful.

    Thank you people!!!!!!!

    Tour Update
    Hello friends,

    Yesterday I was in a car accident just outside of Seattle, & although my passenger friend George & I are okay, my poor car is pretty wrecked.  Sadly, I wasn't able to make it to Vancouver for the Biltmore Cabaret show last night, & I'm really sorry about that.  I hate having to cancel shows, especially ones in beloved cities with beloved friends.

    So, the good news is that I'm going to continue the tour in rented car.  Fortunately, I have a couple of nice days to hang out in Anacortes for What the Heck Fest before making the marathon drive down to San Francisco for the Bottom of the Hill show on July 21.  All of the dates with Concern will still happen as planned, but after Denver show on July 28, & I'm going to need to start making my way back to Seattle to return the rental car.  Omaha & Iowa City, I promise I'll make it up to you soon.

    So, here are the remaining dates:

    7/18/09- Anacortes, WA @ What The Heck Fest (http:​/​/​whattheheckfest​.​com)
    7/21/09- San Francisco, CA @ Bottom of the Hill %
    7/22/09- San Luis Obispo, CA @ SLO Art Center (1010 Broad St) %
    7/23/09- Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo %
    7/24/09- San Diego, CA @ The Casbah %
    7/25/09- Phoenix, AZ @ Trunk Space %
    7/26/09- Tucson, AZ @ Solar Culture %
    7/27/09- Santa Fe, NM @ Meow Wolf %
    7/28/09- Denver, CO @ Hi-Dive %

    % w/ Concern

    7/30/09- Omaha, NE CANCELLED!!! So so sorry.
    7/31/09- Iowa City, IA CANCELLED!!! So so sorry.


    See you soon, California.  If you ever wondered what an airbag actually feels like, come say hi.

    Summertime United States & Canada
    Hello friendos,

    #1 I would just like to let you know that I am already planning a September-time supplementary addendum tour of Midwestern cities that I wasn't able to fit into the summertime tour schedule.  Later in the year, I am hoping to also do an additional supplementary addendum tour of Southern states that did not fit into the summer tour OR the September supplementary addendum tour.  If you would like me to come play a show in your town, and particularly if you would like to help set up a show in your town, please write to me at casiotonetechsupport@gmail.com.  I swear I am not trying to be a jerk to anyone's city or state.  There are simply more places than I am able to fit into one big tour .  Thanks for your understanding, and I encourage your comments and emails.

    And now here is what I believe will the final word on the North American Summer Tour.

    Song requests
    Is there a particular Casiotone for the Painfully Alone song you'd like to hear at one of the upcoming shows? You can email me at casiotonetechsupport@gmail.com with the name of the song and the city where you're planning on seeing a show. Then I can practice the song a couple of times so when I try to play the song I don't forget the words in front of you & everybody. Please title your email with the name of the city followed by "request" (e.g. "Des Moines Request").


    Songs I will not play no matter how nicely you ask or how many alcoholic drinks you offer me (sorry!):
