All these days seem to be blending in to each other at this point. After Kansas City we traveled to Albuquerque, or as I call it, AQ. We played and stayed at a house called Heaven or Hell, where the hosts were incredibly accommodating. A ska band opened up, which was pretty amazing. You don’t see too many ska bands in Cleveland, so it’s funny to see that in different parts of the country, certain musical trends are still happening.

From AQ I believe we went to Phoenix, where we played in this weird garage in an industrial park. It seemed a little strange at first, but in the end, it turned out totally awesome. Not too many people there, but everyone was really supportive and we had a great night.

We partied pretty hard in Phoenix and then woke up the next day and drove to Riverside, CA. We met up with this guy Party Marty, who had set up the show and has generally been really helpful to us for a long time. It was great finally getting to meet him. Actually, we met up with a bunch of people in Riverside. Our good friend Aaron who moved out here from Cleveland showed up, and Jon’s sister Celeste and her boyfriend PJ came out as well. With that many people we knew there, the show was pretty much destined to be good. And it was.

We stayed with a kid named Kyle “Corn” and then drove the next day to San Diego. Pretty much all the same people from the Riverside show also came to San Diego. The highlight of this show was that two different guys from the band Tiltwheel played acoustic sets right before we played. Their sets were pretty epic, as they were slightly drunk, but they were really fun. We played, said bye to our friends, and drove about 2 hours in the night to Castaic, CA, where we stayed at another Days Inn. FREE WAFFLES!!!
