RED FANG

Guess you figured out how to use the camera? Nice work John. It only took a few hundred tries, but you got it. Thatta boy. We woke up in Chicago with only one thing on our minds: Kuma’s Corner . All other issues were null and void, it was time to put down a burger the size of a sub-compact car that was named after a metal band . The only problem was that being the idiots we are, no one thought that we were going to lose an hour when we got to Columbus. We were about half way through a plate of pulled pork fries when Cary mentioned it to us. You read that right. Pulled pork fries. Say what you will about the mid-west but they are not afraid to throw some pork around and I, for one, give that two thumbs way up. Back to the story, so with the added hour our new arrival time was now 9:30, and since the show started at 9:00 a panic came across the table. Luckily, they hadn’t plated our food yet so we had them throw it in some to-go boxes and made a mad dash for the freeway. A big thank you...

Quick note: I put this in one solid post so you could read it in order instead of having to start at the bottom. Also this, like 99% of this blog, was written in the back of a van doing 75 MPH, crammed filled with a bunch of dudes crawling all over, filling said van with their own brand of noxious gasses and generally being distracting.

You’re reading a blog written by a high school graduate about a bunch of dudes driving around the countryside playing heavy rock music. What do you expect, Hemmingway? All right we got a lot of ground to cover, you comfy? In your favorite chair, maybe a nice cup of coco or a white wine spritzer? Okay let’s go.

For the life of me I cannot remember the bartenders name at the Crofoot. but he is a hell of a nice guy. If you ever stop by keep an eye out ...

Washington D.C. 3/05/09 Isn't funny how the departure of one person can make an entire city better? Just being in the same vicinity as Obama gave me my own little stimulus package. Speaking of stimulus packages, congrats to our old friend Aaron Draplin on this . Pretty awesome stuff. Speaking of pretty awesome stuff, Earthless left this note in the bathroom for us: I'd get in a fight for Isaiah, Mario or Mike, those guys rule. Speaking of people that rule, we stayed with John's old friend Jeanna: She's goes to school full time, where they teach you about Christopher Columbus. Speaking of Columbus... Columbus, Ohio 3/06/09 Getting to the green room in this place was crazy. You had to go through this hatch in the floor, down a ladder, through a dark hallway to get to it. The whole process was very Silence Of The Lambs, I keep waiting so hear “It puts the lotion on it's skin or it gets the hose again” come out of the back room. Dammit, if I had the photos that are on...
