roman candles summer tour day 6: 7.01.10

after the le voyeur show, we drove back to portland and slept at jillian's again. we slept in kind of late, and spent the whole day driving to medford, oregon. we played at this place called the musichead, which was cool. we played on the floor. this two piece folk-punk band called thor played, and they were really good. after them koalacaust played. i really enjoyed their set, they are all really funny guys. defiance, ohio were great. i traded tapes with theo. he gave me this nana nemo tape which is awesome. after the show, max drove through the whole night, and i was home by 11 am. this was by far the smoothest tour i've been on. i had an awesome time.

roman candles summer tour day 3: 6.28.10

after waking up in berkeley, we had about a 10 hour drive to portland. max decided he was going to do the whole drive himself. in ashbuckle ( i think that's how you spell it) we picked up a tramp named larry. he had four teeth. we drove him to the very last stop in redding. after that we went swimming in shasta lake, which was beautiful. max finished the drive to portland. we stayed at chris' cousin's house. his cousin, jill, gave us razzleberry pie and soy ice cream when we got in, and then we went to bed. it was a good day off.

we woke up early in berkeley, and went to ann's for breakfast. after that, i got to hang out with chrissy for a while. we went to the park, got harrassed by homeless people, and played frisbee until i accidently hit a girl and her boyfriend threatened to murder me. trash talk played a free show at rasputins up the street for their record release. it was incredible. than night we played a house show in oakland at this place called the hive with loose ends(female fronted punk), kingdom of magic(really loud/really good metal), and knifey spoony(steve0 is the man and helped us out with the show. thanks dude!)

roman candles summer tour day 1: 6.26.10

the first day, we played a show in l.a. with lemuria and the monthlies which went really well. however the first real day of tour was in fresno at this really cool d.i.y. space called the captive. when we got there, the only band i knew we were playing with was campout, but it turned out we wound up playing with heart sounds (epitpah), sea haven, and check raised. the show was really cool. we drove to berkeley after, and spent the night at my new house!
