Tuscon and Beyond

Great show at Plush. Major rowdies up front. Nice folks. Great to see Larry C. And thanks to Andrew for putting us up.
HOWEVER...Screw you Apple. We have three new(ish) macbooks and not a one of em has a fuctioning burner, and to boot we drove 25 miles to your wonderful store, after calling ahead mind you, and then you did not have the external burner in stock that 30 minutes earlier, you promised you did. Screw you and your flawed gear and annoying pissant 'greeter' who wouldn't get out of our face. This is why Dan quit your scam factory last year!


Anyway here are some photos I uploaded on my macbook with Intel Duo core processorTM
Arrrgh:



Zona Coma



SOLD, another of my favorite covers

Albuquerque

Photo's from Dallas show @ The Granada Theater:



Joggers/Jicks Tequila tasting in Albuquerque.
I passed out and missed out. Take it away Dan...
weird vibes in new mexico. OUr soundcheck was like sitting on a island in the middle of the pacific. the staff, did not give a fuck. we retired to the basement and did pullups, made jokes about pee, shared tequila, and i smoked a lot. Show wasn't that bad, jicks were great even with the sound chasm and steve fell into his amp and knocked it over. yes! all well and then we retired to some awesome super geeks house; they live in madmax style post apocalyptic pc wasteland, build spider robots, and drink absinthe. ALLLL RIIIGGHHHTTT.

Thanks Dan, Darrell compared our accommodations to walking into the movie Real Genius.
Off to Tuscon...

Sweet though brief hike in Carbondale CO. Make it barely on time to Denver but it sure looks like it was worth it eh?



Thanks to George for the RADisson hook up!

Currently in Lawrence watching 'Christine', where a guy in a Pendleton Lebowski sweater is giving a girl the heimlich to save her from...well...Christine. I thought Bronson Pinchot was in this, I am incorrect.

Jackpot Saloon treated us well, fun Friday night, toodles.
