"We're stocking up on our B vitamins and have been training for months to make sure we don't fall apart and die," jokes Tinkerbelles drummer Christian Dawson about the upcoming, exhausting jaunt. It makes sense that a band that's as musically streamlined and brimming with enthusiasm as Tinkerbelles would be making this journey—40 shows in ten days would kill a mere mortal punk rocker. Local filmmaker Alan Callaghan will be along for the ride, filming everything for a documentary—and for proof that the record was actually set. The trip is sponsored by Lagunitas, who will be helping to provide touring funds, and they'll have representatives at all eight Chicago shows (y'all like free beer, right?).
