In which Hank, Katherine, Paul, Joe, Andrew, and Rob gather for the -1th day of Tour Because Awesome and Hank attempts to figure out what a podcast is.

Podcast Because Awesome: Operation Poopsmith, The Quickening

Day One: Operation Pauline - CHICAGO @ METRO

In which the bands head to Detroit for the second show of the tour, almost crash into a dollhouse, and Joe becomes a PARKING GOD!

Day Two: Significant Urinary Demand - DETROIT @ THE MAJESTIC

A guest appearance from our friend the Giant Squidstravaganza begins our podcast. We discuss alergies, China, and getting mugged before a smaller more intimate and very exciting show in Cleveland at The Agora theater!

Day 3: Operation Fix Craig - CLEVELAND @ THE AGORA

In which the band experiences some highs and lows...for example, we win the lottery. We also go to a children's theater and tour it with an exhibit creator dude. And then we play a show at The Rex in Pittsburgh for a bunch of frikkin great people.

Day Four: Operation Gateway Legume - PITTSBURGH @ THE REX

In which the crew travels from Pittsburgh to Philly, scrolls into the distant future, discusses the difference between good venues and great ones, talks about musical influences, and plays a show to a really REALLY weird crowd at Union Transfer.

Day 6: Operation Free The Giraffes - PHILLY @ UNION TRANSFER

In which we have our first day off and, yes, it causes undo stress, but is, in the end, very worth it. My biggest take aways of the day are 1. High school students in their native peer groups are TERRIFYING (and I'm not joking, I was legitimately afraid) and FDR is probably my favorite president and DEFINITELY my favorite memorial.

Day Seven: Operation Rat Kicker - DAY OFF

In which we get a surprise tour of Congress from an aid who recognized us on the steps of the capital, get quized by a cab driver, and rock a sold out show at the Black Cat in DC.

Day Seven: Operation Congressional Tour - DC @ BLACK CAT

I make education, informational, incitational YouTube videos with my brother John. I also make music. I've got three studio albums, but only two are in print. A fourth will be coming out in the next couple months with my new band that currently doesn't have a name.
