Costa Mesa10/14/10

Costa Mesa on the other hand will be a hard one to forget. First off Costa Mesa is the Home of Valient Thorr’s record label/ action sports gurus, Volcom and the whole damn company came out in full force. VT pretty much owns this town. Valient Himself is fawned over like a Greek god:

The photo looks blurry, but it’s really just the romance in the air foggin’ everything up. And yes he is walking around in a towel. Why? 'Cause he can.

After the show we were invited to stay at the Volcom guest house. Now I’m not sure about you, but when I think about a guest house I picture a quaint little one bed room cottage, maybe a picket fence… This place was a three-house compound on an acre of prime real estate in the heart of Costa Mesa. Not only was there a pool...

...But a mini-ramp too—in a fucking tree!

I was totally gonna shred it, but we were fresh out of Mt. Dews and Slim Jims so I couldn’t get extreme enough.

Tour To Live!

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 ...

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...

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 nothi...
