10/27/07 – 6 PM – On the road to BendWe said goodbye to Tim and Kim this morning after we ate the delicious breakfast they prepared for us. We know we’ve really lucked out when we get not just couches but beds, and not just beds but breakfast. Then we headed southeast towards Bend. The [...]
10/27/07 – 12:18 AM – Tim and Kim’s, Olympia Today was a long day. After waking up with the daylight in our van and killing some time at a cafe, we headed to the University of Washington campus for an in-studio at their radio station. We ended up waiting around for awhile due to some [...]
10/26/07 – A Cafe in Seattle – 9:30 AM Last night in Seattle was a great show. There was a vibe. Portland – no vibe. Seattle – vibe. It’s as simple as that. Flatpack did a great set of Blur covers, then we played/jumped/sweated (although apparently I’m the only one who sweats), then Syn Wagon [...]
10/24/07 – 10 AM – Hiram and Melissa’s house My apologies, dear readers, for not updating in the past few days. Believe it or not, sometimes there’s no wireless internet. Let’s recap: We stayed with Beth and Megan in Eugene and ate delicious food and listened to good music. That night we played at the [...]
10/20/07 – 5:30 PM – On the road to ReddingWe’ve left the Salem House, but not its awesome inhabitants, who will be playing with us again tonight. Chico seemed like a cool town with a lot going on, but I’m confident that there was no better place to be last night than where we were. [...]
10/20/07 – 12:30 PM – The Salem House We played in San Francisco two nights ago. The Edinburgh Castle had a really nice little room for music. It’s nice when there’s a separate room for playing and you’re not just in front of people who want to drink and not listen. Wayward Sway played first [...]
10/17/07 – 2 PM – LA This morning we ate some tasty burritos while taking in a telenovela and drinking coca-cola at Tony’s on S. Los Angeles St. Now we’re heading to Sam Ash on Sunset so I can use my employee discount to buy yet another capo (and bring my Sam Ash store visitation [...]
10/16/07 – 3:30 PM – On the road to LAWe got up this morning, caught a few episodes of the X-Files marathon on the Sci-Fi channel, and left Esteban’s place. It was at that point that I realized I’d lost my second capo of the tour. After leaving the first one clipped to a mic [...]
10/15/07 – 5 PM – Esteban’s house, San Diego Well, today has been a nice relaxing day, except for the fact that we have no idea where our van is, which contains all of our instruments. We know that our bassist has it, but he’s gone AWOL and seems to be holding the van hostage. [...]
10/14/07 – Somewhere west of Gila Bend, Arizona I’ve been places in the past that I would call the middle of nowhere. Driving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia takes one through some sparsely populated areas. But if that’s the middle of nowhere, this might as well be the moon. There’s nothing here but dirt and sun.
