Holy shit, you're probably goin' to read about this story 3-4 times. Arite, so the LA trip was super fun. We arrived in LA roughly around 4:30 am Wednesday mornin'. Ryan's grandma's super sweet. She made us all sorts of food. There was a pool at that house, so of course we had a swim. We went to a buddhist temple called the Hsi Lai Temple. We took a shitload of pictures there. The vibe there was so peacefull, it really was inspirin'.
The show in Hollywood went pretty well. The crowd was really small but we played super tight. When we arrived at the venue, there was this big sign out front that listed Picture Atlantic in big bold letters. Before the show, Nick n' Ryan's mom saw the singer of Radiohead, Thom Yorke.
While stoppin' to get gas at some random place in the Grapevine, Patrick n' Ryan were scopin' out food to buy when all the sudden, Patrick notices a couples dudes w/ Warped Tour badges. He keeps lookin' at 'em n' realizes that they were the dudes from Cartel. He runs over to where we're at next door n' tells us about it. We all walk back to the gas station to talk to Cartel's drummer. He's such a nice guy. I was really blown away by how nomral he was.
Then while drivin' on the road, I see this tour van drivin' behind us n' I say,"I wonder if that's Cartel?" Patrick goes,"Nah, it's not 'em..." Then as the van passed us up, I saw a huge 18V logo on the side. I jump up in my seat n' scream," EIGHTEEN VISIONS!!!!!" I roll down the side window, poke my head out n' scream," EIGHTEEN VISIONS, W0000!!!!!" I think I freaked the driver out 'cause he changed lanes so he could drive behind us, haha.
Ryan's uncle took some sweet pictures from the show. There will be a gnarly photo post real soon.
