I ordered a record from Graveface Records because the samples I heard of the Lava Children LP sounded like it was right up my difficult/weird/fun music alley.  They sent me a tracking number.  I enjoy tracking the progress of my purchases across this great land of ours to my door.  Graveface Records is located in Georgia.  I noted the progress of my package from Georgia to Warrendale, PA, which is located in MY VERY OWN STATE.  I know from experience that Warrendale contains a USPS sorting hub.  It’s about a three hour drive from Warrendale to my hometown.  My package was processed in Warrendale on the 12th of June and left Warrendale on June 13th.  On June 14th it was in Hazelwood, MO, just outside of St. Louis, 619 miles, 10 1/2 hours in the opposite direction from Warrendale to my hometown.  Why?  Is there a reason it would go from Warrendale to St. Louis?  Is it taking the long way ‘round?  

Enjoy your world tour, Lava Children record!
