In-Studio Performance at San Jose Mercury!
Howdy everyone! I just wanted to write a big big thanks to Shay over at the San Jose Mercury. He gave us a fantastic writeup and brought us in for a live in-studio performance. Follow the link below to check it out. I took Addy and Brice with me which was a delight! “The Merc” ended up posting our stripped version of “Space Vacuums”. I’m still doing... Read More
Idaho Spud
Who here has tasted an “Idaho Spud”? You havn’t you say? That’s strange because apparently it’s the tasty treat that made Idaho famous! With an introduction like that, it was difficult for Brice to resist, so we all decided to get in on the fun. Describing the consistency of this delicatessen is difficult, but I’ll do my best. First, start... Read More
Brice!
After losing three passengers by NY, the van had began to feel a little lonely. Never fear, Brice is here! My brother Brice just finished up his scholastic obligations and decided he couldn’t pass up a road trip from Montana back to Santa Cruz, so he flew out to Billings, Montana for some fun. He’ll be playing the rest of our shows with us, and sharing his knowledge... Read More
Myrtle vs. The Muthafuggin Hail Storm
On our way to pick up Brice in Montana, Orion, Addy and I had one last crazy adventure and have decided to illustrate a blog about this muthafuggin’ storm we were in. Brice also contributed by adding the final illustration. We were all pretty certain we were going to be hurled off of a cliff into a lake by a tornado, so here it goes… The night started off beautiful... Read More
Badlands National Park
The most beautiful park we have been to on this trip so far. Enough said. Read More
Badlands Big-Ass Steak
In the spirit of telling stories about trying to gain more weight, I was persuaded by hundreds of road signs that I needed to eat steak while in South Dakota or else I wasn’t being American. The signs also said that animal rights activists were not welcome in the state (not joking) and that I should wear more fur to support the local industry… While I didn’t invest... Read More
Madison Cheese!
While I usually don’t concern myself with me weight, I have lost 20 pounds while on tour!?! This is definitely a bad thing in my case, so it recently became a goal of mine to start packing back on the pounds. My first act to accomplish my goal was to sample as much cheese as I could at the Madison Farmers’ Market. From fried cheese, to jabenero cheddar, to fresh cheese... Read More
King of Karaoke!
We arrived in Madison, Wisconsin just in time. By just in time, I’m referring to the fact that there were severe thunder storms, tornadoes, and flooding all around us. We parked the van, ran into Addy’s friend’s house, grabbed a deck of cards and her two cats, then headed for the basement to wait out yet another storm. If we had come into town a couple hours later,... Read More
A break in the storm
After the storm passed, our drive through Ohio was beautiful. Despite all the amazing clouds, the thing that really caught our attention was the drive-in theatre we passed while in route to Madison, Wisconsin! Double feature of Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones? Hell yes! Read More
Take Cover at the Laundromat!
With severe thunderstorms heading our way, we didn’t have much option but to take cover in Ohio. When trying to decide where we should go, it somehow came to be known that none of us were wearing underwear. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t seem like pertinent information, however, seeing how it had been 94 degrees and humid the last few days and we hadn’t... Read More
