Mercy me, where to begin.

Two snaggletoothed locals and Danielle in attendance in Portland. 50 harleys parked outside the show in Seattle. Independence Day was spent at the Owens' romping through Fairy Field, singing "Down in the Valley," and porch swinging.

The folks in Spokane are serious about metal which is scary to watch in a haunted Masonic Temple. Ryan exorcised the spirits with body magic and we pleasure read while jackjohnson looking boys played Slayer sounding music.

I think the last time you heard from us we were in portland. The red room was a little rough. But Since then we have visited seattle. We toured capitol hill, ate some good burritos, and slept on wooden floors. We saw many friends in seattle which was nice, and the show went well, it was probably the best show we have had as of yet, lots of people and we got some gas money. We spent the 4th with our extended family, the owens, at their beautiful home in the woods of washington. There was much to celebrate, and we had a nice day relaxing and eating lots of good food. We then traveled on to shelton washington to stay at the home of raincoat jones. It was a nice stay, especially waking up to pancakes, jonny cash and van morrison. Most importantly, we have picked up a drifter who will be riding with us the remainder of the trip and into LA. This drifters name is sam owens, and he is coming home for a while, and we are very excited about that. Now we are on the road to spokane washington, we have a long road ahead of us. Talk to you soon.

We prefer our deflated soccer ball and not the neighbor's bouncy one. We prefer to pump our own gas but in Oregon we cannot. Jonnie has sunburned calves. We played at the Red Room and our name was high up, posted on the marquee. We met two gypsies and there names were Mira and Hawk.

And we go.

7/2/05 (Tour Entry 7)

Woke early to maust hard at work while the others remained asleep. Showered, walked with maust to sfsu where I came across a copy of the suicide biography. Read a good portion and left inspired. Late afternoon held an intense game of soccer, one in which I was too out of shape to participate in. We were met by the lovely katie rains and finally left for parkside around 7. While setting up, I received my second dose of hank williams since arriving in sf. The club probably could have held a few more people, but we played well nonetheless. Our final night in sf was spent with jonnies sister who took us to a dive called the 500 club. After buying an awful burrito from a shady mexican resturant in the mission, we made our way home and went to bed. The san jose show was cancelled, (the second venue on our tour to be shut down), so tomorrow morning we will be leaving for portland.

So.

Little keys played over and over start to stop us as melodies played over And out roger that over and out Tingling trinkling tapping across the teeth in threes Sounds echo in the hollow of

The eve that is about the breakup of the dividing corridor that the piano part broke into without warning. The estate of sound humbles itself into smaller neighborhoods where the boys save their lunch money to buy police line caution tape that they’ve only seen in sensationalized 1970’s english punk documentaries.

Our plan was to get up early, clean the apartment we have been staying in, and be on the road by 10 this morning.......BUT we slept until 11, cleaned the apt, ate some burritos, got gas, bought a tape adaptor for the ipod so we could listen to some decent tunes besides the new order tapes I bought at a 99 cent store, sat in traffic, and finally hit the road to portland at 4pm. Now we are sitting in traffic on the 80 on our way to portland. Playing tomorrow at the red room. Tour manager Ryan is driving, manager Brett riding shotgun. Pigliano, Jonnie Bo, and Nathan are asleep in the back. These are our positions. The check engine light went off! That's the good news. Only 10 hours away from our destination. My bum is sweaty.
