News:: Rich Aucoin Tours, Has Nifty Tour Blog

This is just a quick post to encourage you to check out Herohill favorite Rich Aucoin's tour blog over at Exclaim. I know plenty of folks do the tour blogs, but I think Rich's is quite well done. It's a quick, fun read with plenty of tour photos and as a bonus Rich ends each entry with a Hal Johnson/Body Break style fitness tip, and so you're not only getting indie rock info but also getting healthy advice at the same time. Win-win? I think so.

Instead of biking across the country for his tour this time, Rich is pledging to run a half-marathon in each city he visits to help support the Heart & Stroke Foundation, so get out to one of his remaining shows and show some support for him and his worthy cause.
