07/09/05 We woke up in a field of rocks somewhere just outside of Sacramento and yes, if you are wondering the sun was out…...and working. It was one of those days when you look out of the bus windows and it looks like you might need a jacket, and you think you might since the A.C. is working over time to keep it 68 degrees….well just step out side and you‘ll remember, no….no sweatshirts, no jacket, no jeans. It was a good day (since we play at 8:00 tonight) for a little motorcycle maintenance. Donnie Spada and I installed some skid-plates under all the bikes (to guard the crankcase/engine from bottoming out on curbs or rocks or whatever…) and had a pretty funny workstation made out of two coolers pushed together. Then we applied as many stickers as we could find to G.K.‘s bike.Oh yeah the show…...It was good! Since we went on so late the sun had already gone down and it was getting pretty dim out….It‘s kind of weird to play in the dark when there aren‘t any lights…I hope you guys could at least kind of see us! Fun show….You guys were great for staying through to the end!
Woke up in Idaho the next day and went straight to the hotel….Shit shave and a shower had us feeling normal pretty quickly. Boise is a pretty cool little city with mountains all around and cool old brick buildings….And Starbucks…..Yes I like the Starbucks….I know there are a lot better coffee houses out there, but sometimes it‘s the ultra familiar that makes you feel less home sick. Our runner today had a 1970 Cadillac 2 door Deville…..cool to roll around in some u.s. iron for a minute. The show was great, but only after we put in our hour at the MySpace tent signing posters and t-shirts and shoes and hats and….what‘s the deal with having us sign your skin? It‘s fun to give bad tattoo looking signatures but it WILL wash off…you know that right? Today‘s random songs were I Choose and Have You Ever….
Today we play just out of Seattle at “the Gorge”...it‘s an awesome view of a mini grand canyon type of valley…...A river at the bottom looked like fun but was rumored to be over 4 hours of hiking away, so…....no thanks. We played earlier today and played Genocide and Burn it Up… These are fun songs to play since we don‘t play them often and people really sing along with them. After the set here‘s what went down: Noodles caught two fish, X-13 sang with the HorrorPops, Greg K won $$ at the poker game and I went adventuring on the motorcycle…..I got a little lost but had plenty of gas and was able to make it back.
