Portland!

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

After waking in Seattle, we drove to Portland. There were so many bikes in this city. We got there really early, found the venue, and ventured out. Paul, Tyler, Joe, and I went to see Burnside (a famous skate park). After that I fell asleep in a park and everyone ventured about. Eventually Jenna, Hank, and I visited the worlds largest bookstore! I finally got a copy of Sartre’s Nausea and Debord’s Society of Spectacle. We joined back at the venue and played with some amazing bands. Chrome Wings, Root Beer and French Fry, and Deelay Ceelay all made this show one of the best so far. We stayed at Chrome Wing’s house, and a wall fell on Tyler.

Seattle: Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Fun!

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Seattle was amazing. Two days of perfect, sunny, and non-typical Seattle weather. I think I rode my bike almost non-stop for the first day. We went to Pikes Place Market and sampled some of the best food of this tour. Tyler and I managed to get out to Future Tense for about an hour and ride with some of the Seattle track bike elite. We ended up sprinting against each other through an underground tunnel. Our show at Healthy Times Fun Club was amazing. Rebbecca, Jake, and Grr! have the greatest art space I have ever seen. Rebbecca made vegan field loaf chili for us, it was delicious! Field loaf is the new Tempeh. Thanks to Big Spider’s Back, Universal Studios Florida, and Secret Colors for helping us set up the show. Seattle left me feeling that I personally belong on the West Coast for at least the next 5 years. It’s no joke now as we make our way down to Portland and California. Westside for life!
