I just got in at 3am this morning and I'll be relaying the story of the entire "Wholigans Madness" tour over the next few days along with photographs (be sure to send me some photo's of the shows you came to) theband@thewholigans.com

It's best if you upload them to a site such as http://smg.photobucket.com/ and then send them as to avoid filling my mailbox.

The collage photo from the convention was sent to me from Louise Göransson who came over from Sweden..
