If you received a friend invite from me....

It's for two reasons:
Primero - we will be in Los Angeles (28 April) Miami (1 May) and New York (2 May) playing some shows with The Pinker Tones. I think we're full on the guest list for Los Angeles (but ask me anyway in case) but we have spare invites in Miami and New York, so add me and ask and we'd love to see you
Segundo - what's wrong with having more amigos?
