...Perpetual Motion Roadshow #33...

I'm just doing my rock'n'roll duty and hitting the road with Emerson Dameron and Snoovy in May - cutting a swath of poetic justice across the North Eastern United States and on back into the Great White North, fuelled only by caffeine, comic books and the adrenaline rush of an illegal midnight border hop.
