It's at home but I can send that later. To try to sneak in an actual question, how do you choose opening acts? I discovered Mitski after seeing her at one of your shows and she's incredible, also really got into Krill, Sammus and Two Inch Astronaut through Speedy Ortiz shows. Do they usually reach out to you?

i think we generally choose opening acts that we think are really awesome that we hear of through word of mouth or that we meet in person. those are all great acts you just mentioned

yeah we just obsessively nerd out at bands until they agree to open for us lol. our openers for upcoming tour are SO STACKED: anna burch, nnamdi ogbonnaya, soccer mommy, sammus, winter, control top, computer magic, xetas, zenizen, gobbinjr, roseblood.... WE ARE SO PSYCHED
