Tempe

It’s hot here. Like a desert. Played at a place called The Clubhouse. One of the sweatiest shows I’ve been to. My good friend Tara came out to visit and brought her daughter, Shea. I got a slurpee. After the show I bought some Ben N Jerry’s Americone Dream, which I am enjoying right now.

San Diego

Nothing too interesting happened today, except for me eating some awesome pizza. I can’t wait to have a day off at home tomorrow!

HOME (day off)

We got to our hotel around 3:30 am…and were told we couldnt check in yet. I decided just to sleep in my bunk until we could. I got woken up at 5 am to go into the room. I woke up at 2 and had a friend come pick up me and Yuri. We grabbed my bikes and went on a little ride, ending up at In N Out burger. It’s always great…but it’s the best when you haven’t had it for over a month! We then rode to the grocery store to pick up supplies for the BBQ. A few hours later the rest of the guys came over.

James grilled “green meat” which is an old family pork recipe. It was awesome. A few of my wonderful friends came over as well. We BBQ’ed, sat around the fire pit and watched zoolander on the wall with a projector. Now I’m sitting here, ready to sleep in my own bed!

Anaheim

Fun show at the HOB. A few good friends where able to come hang out and see what I do on a day to day basis. There was also a marriage proposal in the middle of the set. I drank alot of coffee today.

Ok….so these are boring. I’m boring myself here. Sorry. I am only doing it because I promised myself I would write at least a little something each day, mainly so I could remember a little better what I did these last couple months.

Petaluma

Sad day. Had to say goodbye to all of my friends in Lagwagon, Tat, and Only Crime. Lagwagon dedicated their song “To All My Friends”  to me and then a frisbee game broke out between them, myself, my friend Robin and a few people in the crowd. They eventually took back the song dedication because I am a terrible frisbee thrower. I have most of it on video and will eventually put it up here…or just come over to see it. That might be a little easier.  Tonights show was filmed for a DVD release. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Los Angeles

Back in LA again. I was here only a couple days ago. This time we are playing with Rancid.

Earlier today I was walking down the street to get a burrito at “Dos Burritos” and a man well over six foot steps out of a corner store right in my way. I look up and realize that it’s John Krasinski . I say hi and keep walking to get my burrito. On my way back from Dos Burritos he steps out in front of me again. He says “sorry” and I say, “Don’t worry about it. Nice to meet you.” He sticks out his hand, asks me my name and tells me it was nice to meet me. He said he was filming a commercial for Coca Cola, and thats why he keeps going in and out of the store. I invited him to the show tonight and he thanked me, but said that he said he will be busy filming.

I just at a Sonic the Hedhog Icecream bar from the ice cream man. You know, the kind with the gumball eyes. I dont think anyone ever actually eats the eyes. I always spit them out. If you are a maker of Sonic the Hog (or Ninja Turtles or Pink Panther) icecream, please try putting some form of gummi bear in there instead. Not necessarily a bear shape, but a gummi eye would be awesome. Now my whole mouth is blue, but it is worth it!

Ok, time to go get my things ready for the show….and get packed to go home!
