Flo Riding?
The last few days have been fabulous. We started in Leavenworth, KS on Monday afternoon and drove through the night to Jacksonville, FL. Being that our minds are constantly on important business matters, the first thing we did here was drive to the beach to go swimming. Sometimes getting knocked down by waves helps focus our minds to discuss our P&L statement.
We're playing the University of North Florida tonight, so we showed up early last night and spent a majority of the night running around campus "hunting" alligators. We came up short and found nothing but a huge duck. Didn't get a picture though, so you'll have to use your imagination. I'm quite confident a few gators were lurking, and I know they could smell my fear (Sam's Axe body spray), so we avoided going to the edge of the waters on campus. We gazed safely from the boardwalks. Most of the students looked at us like we were idiots. Their thoughts are quite accurate.
We make our way around Florida for the next week or so before making our way up the coast to New England. We're excited to see the colors change up there, but for now we'll enjoy the heat and the reptiles.
Here's a video...

Tour Blog Numero Uno
Instead of writing a long, boring blog about everything we've been doing on the road for the past few days, I've decided to show you what we've been doing with a series of photos I've taken with my phone. Enjoy...
The famous "Have Your Cake and Eat It Too" Cake, courtesy of Gudrun!
Our beautiful van and trailer, and my suitcase!
Jeremy and Peter (My Lady Four) awestruck by Carp's collection of trout. Hmm. Ironic, isn't it?
The side of a huge semi-hauler on an indoor display at The World's Largest Truck Stop! Wow! Please remember, "If you bought it, a truck brought it!" That is, unless you've downloaded our album at seetheworldmusic.com. That wasn't brought on a truck.
Jeremy wants to get some new seats installed in the van... unfortunately that isn't in the budget.
NEWS OF THE DAY: BROKEN CITIES IS NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES!
Hope you're all having a great day, and we'll see you at a show near you!

See The World Goes To Coldplay
Greetings friends!
Hope life is well where you're at. Just wanted to fill you in on our latest undertaking. Sam and I went to see our first Coldplay concert on Saturday. Driving from Minneapolis to East Troy, Wisconsin was about 350 miles, and the tickets cost an arm and a leg, but it was totally worth it. I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more, just to be the man that sits 100 rows up at a Coldplay show (insert witty quote from 40 Year Old Virgin here).
Coldplay offers something that almost no other band today can offer: a chance to hear the biggest band in the world (34,000 fans + Chris, Johnny, Will, and Guy) sing in unison. The crowds a capella performance at the end of Fix You gave me shivers (reminded me of The Chordials and some of my other favorites). In addition to the spot-on performance by the band, the big-screen video production was exceptional. Though it was displayed in real-time, the footage looked like a professional music video. I can't imagine the cost of lights and visual effects-- I wonder if the band even gets paid at the end of all that goes into it? Kidding.
Anyway, check out the video. I thought about getting footage of the concert, but realized that might come back as bad karma someday.
Another couple things:
1. We have an upcoming EP to be released-- stay patient, cause it's just around the corner.
2. We're playing on August 15th with Chicago's State and Madison and locals Readygoes-- join us at Station 4 in St. Paul for an all-ages fiesta. Would love to have you!
Much love,
Jasperemy

Cronkiters!
I'm sitting here at a Panera, doing a little research on the "The Most Trusted Man in America", and I see across from me a couple, probably in their late twenties, playing like children with what appears to be these. What has this world come to?
Anywho...
Did you know that there was a period of time in Sweden where anchormen were referred to as "Cronkiters"? I had no idea that Walter Cronkite was such an iconic and beloved character in America. Shows my age, I guess. Here is an interesting video clip of Walter Cronkite celebrating a giant leap for mankind. Also, if you're one of those science kids, here is a pretty cool website celebrating the recent 40th Anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
Now, I am going to ask a question that may spark a debate. But, I do ask this in the most respectful way possible. Who had a bigger impact on America: Walter Cronkite or Michael Jackson?
Love,
Sam

STREET TEAM and BOOKING!
Hello friends,
This blog is dedicated to giving you the OPTION of helping us in a HUGE WAY. If you feel you might be interested, continue reading ☺
As you probably know, we just spent the past few months writing and recording our debut release. It’s being mixed right now, and as much as I’d LOVE to have it on all of your iPods as I write this, we’re forced to wait. We hope to have it available in July. Do me a favor and put $5 in your piggy bank so you can support us the moment it “drops.”
Back to HOW YOU CAN HELP US. We have a couple options.:
OPTION 1 – SEE THE WORLD STREET TEAM!
Maybe you’ve been on a street team, or maybe you’ve never heard of such a thing. Either is fine, and there’s definitely a place for you if you’re willing to learn!
We’re looking for 5-10 STREET TEAM LEADERS who have experience working with bands with localized and other promotion. The 5-10 leaders will work closely with See The World to design a game plan for getting the music to the ears of millions. Once a plan is set in place, it will be the leaders’ job to coordinate the efforts with the bigger team. If you think you might be a leader, please let us know.
We also need a BUNCH of people across the country who are excited to help, but without as much commitment as a leader. Please let us know if you want to be part of the SEE THE WORLD STREET TEAM!
OPTION 2 – HELP US PLAY A SHOW!!
We’ll be heading out on the road for the majority of THIS FALL and want to play a show near YOU! We’ll make every effort to set up shows at local clubs and bars, but there is ample opportunity to book shows of a more “creative” nature. That is, we’re fired up and ready to play for your college events, local coffee shops, skate parks, high schools functions, and just about ANYTHING else.
Oftentimes it simply takes a local “spokesperson” to gain the right access to play a show. You probably have the magic we’re looking for. We’ll be touring with another band (maybe more), plus we’ll have a very nice PA system on the road with us. This means there will be a variety of music, and hardly anything to worry about besides finding a room, finding an electrical outlet, and telling people to come to a great show. Why wouldn’t you want to do this?!
LET’S REVIEW. You can remain a friend and listener, and we’ll love you till the end. If you WANT to do more, you can help on our STREET TEAM or HELP US BOOK A SHOW!
Much love to you and yours,
Jeremy Austin Smith (Jasper)
