From Feb 28-March 31, 2014 PPL (Esther Neff and Brian McCorkle) + Future Death Toll (David Griess and Edward Sharp) will pile into a car with all of their art materials, a change of underwear each, and take their chances on the USA outside of NYC!

If you live near any of these places, they’d love to see you and possibly sleep on your floor.
