Tour Withdrawl

About 5 minutes into the Pullout Southern California weekend I discovered how much I miss being on tour. I never realized how much of my life has evolved around being on the road for the last couple of years, and now it's not really there. I have always been able to look forward to the next one and now I don't have one wait for, at least not right now. At first I felt depressed, but then I realized I was going to have an awesome weekend with a new band in So Cal..and that is just what it was. Both shows were rad and we got to hang out with good friends. Studio Danza in Whittier California was the first night. The singer before us had someone punch him in the face to show how punk rock he fucking is. All that really did was make him bleed all over the place including the microphone. Needless to say I was not stoked on sharing a mic with some dude who just bleed all over it. I tried to clean it off but it wasn't working. I am obviously not as punk as this dude and lucky for me someone had another microphone I could use and avoid getting AIDS. The second day we headed down to San Diego and met up with our buddy Jake from Career Soldiers who was chillin on the beach. San Diego beaches = Babes everywhere. We met up with the Negative Charge guys at some BBQ where we ate a bunch of food for free. I felt kind of bad because I don't think we were invited but oh well. We played at the Che Cafe and that place is awesome. There was a good amount of kids there, we played 2nd and not that many people really seemed to be into it. The heads we brought down tore shit up pretty good. A fight broke out while we were playing and I pulled a guy off of the other guy which he was wailing on. He said everything was cool, so I turned around to go back to playing and he started wailing on this guy again..oh well at least I tried. Career Soldiers played last and killed it. We went back to Jakes to party, and we stayed up pretty late having a no shirt party (all dudes). I went with 5 guys to a burrito spot at 5am. I wont go into details, but an incident occurred where I generally thought one of us was going to get shot. Turns out some idiot thought it would be cool to pretend he had a gun, and was delt with appropriately. Went to bed about 6am and slept on a small couch and was woken up at 9am to Bobby Hill being loud like always.

I turn 24 on Saturday. I haven't been sleeping well so I feel older than I should. Come out to the VFW Hall in Orangvale on Saturday and help celebrate the anniversary of my birth.
