California was fun...we played The Joint in West Los Angeles on Friday 1/14/11, Billy O's in Ventura on Saturday 1/15/11, and The Creekside on Sunday 1/16/11. We met some cool bands too like 'The Hunter And The Prey' from Ventura who we played with and rocked out to at Billy O's. I bet we intimidated their fans a little bit while they were playing with our drinking, head banging, and "Beeyahing!" a la Dave Chapelle as Howard Dean. Saturday was a rough night for our bass player, Ryan. Well actually, Sunday morning was probably worse...no...if the trash can in his room could talk it would argue that Sunday was DEFINITELY a bad morning for both Ryan and the trash can. There may be videos and/or pictures to accompany this story...if we get approval from Ryan. Don't worry, no video or pictures were taken Sunday morning! ;)
We also got to meet Rik's parents too, we stayed with his mom in Ventura and she was super hospitable and cooked us awesome burritos for breakfast. We also got to rock out with Rik's dad's band, 'Spin Switcher,' when we played in Santa Barbara.
Lessons learned: Long Islands are for sipping, don't fuck with Geoff's drums, & bring Advil on tour!
