Florida

Orlando, Florida 3/13/09

So, after the show we are heading over to stay with John's cousin Les and his wife Jen, when we stop by a 7-11 to grab some beer. We are waiting in line to pay for our goods when this guy starts talking to us:
Well, to say that he was talking is to give him some credit. It was more of a slur/mumble type thing. I wasn't really sure what the hell was going on but somehow Bryan understood him. Turns out he was a magician and wanted to show us a card trick. At 2:30 in the morning. In a 7-11. While trying to carry an armload Sutter Homes white wine.

I just tried to put down in words how absolutely horrible this guy was at magic, and that he told us he did it for a living, but it can do it no justice. It's one of those stories that if you were there, you will never forget. But if you try to explain to someone you'll get back looks that say “ Wow, I'll never get that two minutes back...”
Sorry.

Shit.


Tampa, Florida 3/14/09
Since we only had a couple hour drive, we had the day to kill in Tampa.

John and Bryan got a make over:


David got in touch with his inner Buccaneer:
Bryan and I weaseled our way into watch Brain Posehn do stand-up (which was funny as hell) and had a little post show bro-down:
If you are real bored you can play a little game of Where's Waldo and try to find him in the crowd shot.

We had the next day off so we did what any rational human beings would do went swimming in the ocean. I introduced John and Bryan to one of my favorite water sports: Left handed catch! Nothing will make the people on the beach think you are a group of developmentally challenged adults faster than trying to throw with your opposite hand. Don't believe me? Check this video of Bryan out:

What We Did For Our Summer 2013 Summer Vacation: Part Duex.

Okay, where were we? Slayer. That’s right. So, after all the craziness that was the first couple weeks of the tour we finally settled into our digs for the rest of the tour and met our driver Jens: Things you should know about Jens: The man can drive his ass off. You don’t want to eat his hummus, or he will kill you. If you’re a promoter that ripped off another band he was working for who happens to be at the show he is at, you best find a ATM because he will shake your ass down for all that loot. (Did that make any sense? I don't care.) After a quick bro down with him, we made our way to Interlaken where following a night of hanging with some road homies and watching some Rammstein… Wait, I have to say something right now. I, like a lot of people out there, have never given a good goddamn about Rammstein. Never got the allure. But after watching them live—HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I couldn’t tell you what one of their songs sounds like but their stage show

European Headliner Part Three

You know the saying better late than never? This post very well might be an exception to that rule for the following reasons: 1)    I lost my camera and all the photos on it. So I have to use whatever is on my phone and John and David’s photos. 2)    Since being home I have had more beer poured on my face than a corpse at an Irish wake and remember little to nothing about the last couple weeks in Europe. 3)    Compared to the road where all there is a van full of dudes that I don’t really want to talk to after a couple weeks, at home there is a couch and cable to distract me. 4)    I took no notes about said last couple weeks because: 5)    I am really lazy Wiesbaden, Germany 4/27/12 I remember this place! It was an old slaughterhouse turned venue. Those rods on the ceiling are where they would hang the carcasses.  This is going to be easy. Winterhur, Switzerland 4/28/12 I got nothing. No! Wait! This was one of the most scenic drives of the tour as you can t

What We Did For Our 2013 Summer Vacation: Part One

Hey there world, it’s been a while—over a year. I know that a lot of bad stuff has happened out there since my last post and I’m sorry, I did not realize that this blog was the delicate thread that held the world together. Now I know and I’m going to try my best to get back on the horse and start really blogging about the important issues that you, the world, crave. Such as the regularity of our farts, and whether or not Bryan’s socks look like a well steeped tea bag. Because then and only then will you, the world, be able to relax knowing all that is important is, once again, available with the click of a mouse and feel free to kick your collective feet up and tackle this whole North Korea thing. But you have to understand, maintaining this blog is not as easy as it used to be for me. You see, now that we are international rock stars with up to 100 people showing up at every show, my duties with the band have changed. In the olden days (back in the early 2010’s) the world was m
