Are You Ready For The New Sound?

Looks like you can kiss those tight rock numbers goodbye, Shaky Hands are now a jam band. You're welcome!

Santa Cruz

Still nice weather, man. Best thing I overheard so far today,"So I accidentally sucked a married guys dick, no shame in that". Right on sister, right on? Chillin here for the day, short drive to SF for an already sold out bottom of the hill show. Your welcome Meat Puppets! I kid.

I really want to catch those football games tomorrow, but we'll see. I think there's no way the Super Bowl, Boss and all, will top last years so, this might be the last quality game(s) of the year.

Still workin on posting video. Actually I'll try to hash that out right now.

AND I got it heres some beach footage.

"The Beach Is Creepy Aint It",Long Beach, Santa Barbara

Hi from soundcheck in Santa Barbara. Very interesting, and fun new friends in Long Beach, hey it's George Hurley, and he ate a whole sandwich! Met some cool dudes from Buffalo, talked Bills, and Rochester. "I went to RIT, Class of 78!" Cool I was 4. We were ok, the crowd was large but somewhat apathetic, but came around.

Santa Barbara is full of pristine shops and pristine people. I want to become a mega rich tool and move here, for like a minute at least. We might get a first ever soundcheck, but then again I think I just jinxed it. I don't want it to get cold again, I'm in summer mode with this unseasonably warm mid 80's SoCal niceness.

Still working on getting video up, and photos. Patience, it's out there people.
We are toying w/ the idea of a Portland homecoming house show, but don't hold your breathe just yet.
For now Eugene is the best bet, and that will be a guaranteed hootenany.

ok.
ciao fer now brah
