notes from the road...day five


Alex...!
Ah, the smell of freshly polluted air - "It's no LA" some might say. To them, I say, "You're absolutely right." But still me no likey.
I write this as buildings pass and we head to Seattle. Fun! Fun! Fun!
What happened yesterday...not too much. After a terribly heavy night (thank you Dan), everyone was pretty exhausted from a lack of sleep. The only two to actually go anywhere during the day, were Lee and Sean. They brought back some spiffy records and the smell of burgers and french fries that we love oh so much. Dan, Brian and I hung around the motel watching Deadwood and Police Academy 2 while eating peanut-butter and jelly sammiches all day.
Night rolled along and we headed out to our show at the Town Lounge in Portland. The gig consisted of a singer/songwriter under the name of Ocean Floor who Lee eventually buddied up with, Thee Party, and some dance dance dancey band called Oh No Oh My. We were well received for the first three or four songs then the people decided that they wanted shorter hair I suppose. Fun nonetheless. After I finished drumming I headed out to the Van of Love for some much needed sleep (sorry Oh No). Woke up, tried to get some more drinks, failed, then loaded up.
Afterwards we headed to the motel where we watched a downloaded version of Heroes. Oh yes, I'm sure you all were wondering...Hiro DID end up taking the sword. totally rad.
Until my fingers meet the keys, I love you all.
luv, Alex
