to clear up any confusion, ryan "mono" witherspoon is in fact our other brother and nick is famished.
tour:
nick celebrated his birthday in arkadelphia.
sammy made out with every girl in shreveport.
we were only allowed one menu item, though we were given two stamps, in humble, tx.
i played the guitar at a wedding in longview.
we all drank wine at a wedding in dallas and partied in a hotel room.
nick saw his cousin, we ate at dennys and slept in the van at walmart in albuquerque.
we picked up a psychotic, malnourished, serial killer/angel on the way to las cruces where we played at the BEAN! and slept in the van on a dirt road in front of mountains.
phoenix is hotter than hell, seriously.
woke up at the grand canyon. nick watched the sunrise. ryan and i cuddled in the van...
we played at a strip joint in flagstaff and slept in the van while we drove 189 hours to los angeles. ryan drove like a champ [he told me to say that].
greg hall took us to get burritos from hell. yes, they were from hell. ryan exegeted my [joie's] family. james worrell is the coolest man we have ever met. yes, in n out burger is good enough to drive to california for. we went swimming in the oc and saw the water logged body of marissa cooper.
san fransisco was the city where all of our dreams came true. we played for a predominately mandarine chinese crowd. blank expressions. we may have been in our undies holding hands singing dwight yoakam while we drove across the bridge, but that might not have happened.
we spent the night on the edge of a cliff beside the tempestuous ocean. it was life changing.
i drove, sleepily, through the redwood forest in northern california. it was beautiful.
two drunk girls made out in front of me in portland.
the room was HOT at the world vision headquarters in federal way, washington.
free pomegranate juice and good sandwiches in olympia.
ryan, nick and myself ate seafood on the waterfront in seattle. then we got wasted at the whiskey bar and found out about the alcoholic alligator. he was definitely doing rails.
25 hours straight, non stop in the van to cheyenne wyoming.
nerve wracking church services on saturday night and 2 sunday morning. nick loved it and only had my kick drum in his in ear monitors.
now we're going to applebees to eat for free. PEACE!
