Colorado

We just ripped through a week in Colorado.. finally back to Central time zone and all the wonderful heat and humidity that comes along with it. Photos coming soon, haven't had time to upload them yet.

Carbondale soon!!

SLC

Boise

Boise was cool, a little reminiscent of Carbondale. A Flea Bomb went off during the show (just wait til you see the video), and Bob got in some serious arm wrestling. Things got weird at the end of the night.. more wrestling, Scottie's 25th birthday, a lost pet scorpion, Mark almost got scalped with a battle ax, someone tried to force Ted to sleep in a dungeon, a half bottle of wine was spilled in my sleeping bag (not by/involving me), a lot of sleeping outside and in the van.. Guess it was time, it had been a few days since things got weird.

Northwest

Arcata weirded me out, don't go there. The drive is beautiful though.


Portland & Seattle were fun, got to see a gaggle of long lost friends and made some new ones. Played a really fun show at Rotture in PDX, and got to play at Lost Cross North (aka the funhouse) in Seattle. Complete with milo & a bball court.

Life In The Van

This is what it looks like.

San Fran

San Fran was beautiful. Played a fun show at Kimos w/ Slow Trucks, Careerers, and another band that was good. Got to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. Had to leave the spokesman behind, it was his time. Mark had a freak highschool reunion, and Scottie got a free macbook pro. Weird, good time.

Oakland

Oakland was cool, played an old yogurt factory called Fort Gallery, played with whqles from LA who were pretty sweet, saw our numero uno Ryan Claypool again, Brett had the best toast he has ever had for breakfast, and I agreed.

We also had to say goodbye to our wonderful merch lady and all-around pal supertracy, she had other non-tour parties she was required to attend. It was fun Tracy!

San Luis Obispo

San Luis was fun-ish.. Scottie got to see the Blackhawks win, we played in a living room, then things kinda got weird..





We made it out alive though, and got a nice breakfast to boot. Also, saw a frat house that partied too hard and the tallest palm tree on earth.

California Coast

San Diego

LA

Went to LACMA, played a fun show at Echo Curio, got to see some long lost Carbondalians (including the original Ryan Claypool), had a 3am steak & video game sesh. Got the van all tuned up, happy to get the hell outta LA.

Pomona / Laguna Beach

Played a Subhumans afterparty at an Ed Hardy themed bar.. they said we eat for free, gave us an amazing $90 meal, at the end told us it was a mistake, and tried to charge us $2 for cups of water while we played. Weird time, but fun and thanks to Christina.

Then enjoyed our first day off, stayed w/ Ted's girlfriend in Laguna Beach.




I got a surf wound. Then Chef Taylor made a killer dinner.






Good day.
