talk about timing. this was the one wedding that i got to attend last year. luckily i was in so cal on tour right around the time of the wedding. thankfully i was able to miss one show and make it. it was great to see becky and heather, i think i wussed out early and went back to my hotel and crashed. that's what happens when your on tour. im just glad i was able to be there.
every labor day dmb play the gorge in washington state. it's kinda like the whole rock n roll camping thing again that i mentioned when the fray came through the nw earlier in the summer. this year was going to be a bit different. we we're flying in from kc , this means no buses. thankfully amy came to hang for the weekend and we turned her folks honda mini van into our own tour bus. apparently , without a bus to hang out on during our downtime at the gorge i spent alot of time in catering taking pictures.
it seems like i did alot more flying on this tour. i'm not a big fan of early flights in general let alone checking into a hotel, showering then heading to the airport.
every summer we do 2 nights at alpine valley in wisconsin. this year rage against the machine played the night before we did. to top it off it rained like a no other turning alpine valleys lawn into a giant mud pit. when we came in the next day the venue looked like it had taken a beating. they put hay down on the lawn where the grass used to be to try and cover the fact that the lawn had pretty much turned into a giant mud pit.
