Beefy Q tour 2009

We don't remember anything funny on the way to Tuscon. But right now is so funny! Oh if we could type the stuff we're talkin about now! Oh my Bob! Heartless and hilarious is the only way. Beefy Q! The first show was super tight. We played at the Hotel Congress in Tuscon which had a fire that ended up gettin John Dillinger caught back in the day. We got there early and got 10 bucks comped towards dinner, which was delicias. I chose the oven baked brie sandwich with red peppers artichoke and some kinda fruity vinegar concoction. It was aight. The eggplant bisque was better. The boys got (what else?) burgers, which were burgers. So we sat around and drank too much coffee cuz we weren't awkward enough yet. When people started to show up me an Ally were good and wired. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Lee misses all the burger girls, but he doesnt want to name any of you. how fucked is that? First up was us because the danger strangers weren't there. We played a lttle jittery but it was pretty tight. After we played travis an matt from the funky fresh knockout pills played their first show as The Unlikely Sons. They were fucking awesome. Tight harmonies and extremely smart songs, just how you'd expect with surprises. After that it was the danger Strangers, who played a little hot little set that was way more diverse then i thought it would be. They got motorhead in there and all kindsa stoner rock really. It was dope. Then was Lenguas Largas, who make you feel cool and detached but involved. They funky, and bust out crazy guitar sounds to keep up your head. Super dope show right? right. It was super dope. then we got a room comped and invited the dead into our souls because its haunted and that's what you do in those places. I was perfectly content with my possession, but Lee wanted to hold hands in a circle to help the evil take over. I was all "seance? more like GAYANCE! get it?!" then we went to sleep. But not before Matt asked if we wanted to record in the world famous coma cave the next day! nards yeah! we said. so we went to bed with sugarplums...the next day we woke up, showered and got to work. The coma cave has a pool! how tight is that? its so hot there. we decided to record our resonars inspired song with the resonars man in the resonars studio while we wore our resonars t shirts. but wait it gets even cooler. Matt totally wrote and sang a harmony on said song! oh snap son! it sound like him! because it is! so yeah whatever thats just whats up now. he be playin the guitar solo on tuesday and then its in the mail dawgie!! we'll put it up when we get it, i cant wait! so we had to rush that recording cuz we had to drive to las cruces to play with our pals the danger strangers and another band who's name i got but forgot later. damn, sorry guys,we were pretty beery. but you was aight. then the dangerboys played and they was tight, but me an ally were bein lazy outside cuz sometimes you just don't care. RIP Uncle Tommy. By then i was on a good one and ready to fuck wit dat guitar a lil bit. i didnt know it felt the same way about me.. in the middle of one song i hit my thumb on the pickup selector, which is missing the plastic thingie, cutting the nards out of my thumb. blood everywhere! hooray! everyone loves blood! we played two songs too many cuz i'm an idiot. Ally totally said to stop at the right time, but i see that blood ya know? anywho, it was a hot little hot little show. we stood around outside after. playing top forty loudly and shouting get your pigeon! to the tune of get your swag on by soulja boy tellem. it was fun. then a young transient by the name of kira hendon invited us to stay at the house where her ruffles truck home was parked and we took her up. after a lengthy rant to the locals about the wonders of american top 40 we were off. I guess it was an after party cuz it was fun, but maybe not because we brought all the fun. but! lucky me, Kate showed up and we got a foosball game going! yay foosball. Kate is some kind of witch or spawn of the devil or something, because girls aren't good at foosball and stuff, duh! so theres no way she could just school my ass over and over unless there was some black magic involved. but i romped on all her homies yo, don't worry. they know whats up with the anaheim foos over there in lost causes new mexico. then most of us went to bed wink wink nudge nudge. i slept in the aforementioned ruffle chips truck home thingie. it was aight. today i awoke to Lee crouched over in the street, mourning the loss of a recently acquired and more recently destroyed 32 oz bottle of a tapatio like hot sauce. we were counting on this to get us through all these non mexican food havin places. damn. after that we got good cheap breakfast and dropped off our new friend who's name i don't know at her house in el paso and we're on our way to austin to play again. right now we're pullin up to the checkpoint they got here to make sure we dont got any fruit or mexicans in here. i think we maybe have an apple. but i really wanna eat it later!
booyah! just rolled through that checkpoint bullshit like barriers i run right through em used to em. however the danger strangers got pulled over and hopefully they aint gettin rolled up...when the cops asked if we were with them we said no.
