Well...shit. I'm back. I don't even know how to describe touring. It was the most amazing experience and it reinforced my dreams of being in a band and traveling around playing music. First of all, our van was so fucking packed full of shit that I'm amazed we could fit even 4 people in there, and we managed 6. Our first destination was Reno. We drove all night and arrived at about 10 in the morning, dead tired. After much debate (not much debate at all) we chose Circus Circus as our hotel....and fuck, was it a good choice. We played carnival games until I pootered in my pants. I won a stuffed animal that looks like a hybrid rat/fox/Rudolph creature. His name is Snadd. Danny and Will tore it up on Dance Dance Revolution. We rested and left later that day to play a show in Fallon, a tiny little town in Nevada. The show was at this place called Jive n Java cafe. And, by the way, I fucking loved that place. We got unlimited free drinks and food! Fuck yes. I had an Italian soda, and let me tell you, it fucking rocked. There was tons of time to kill so we just fucked around, played pool and video games, socialized, killed forests, you know. There were so many beautiful girls there that I almost killed my penis off. The show was incredible because the kids were so amazing. Everyone came in to watch us, and everyone actually listened to the music, instead of standing there with arms crossed trying to look cool. Afterwards, we just kicked it with all of them and got to know them all. Every kid was so genuine and nice...it was relieving to see that not every music scene is on the same level as LA's...that level that has a layer of poop all over it. Leaving was depressing. I really miss those kids. Hopefully we'll get to go back and play again...maybe sooner than I think.
My fingers are falling off, so I'm gonna write seperate scaddles for every day of the tour. Stay tuned you Jackson Polluck's....or dont...either way. Snadd is my only friend.
