Alex Wins California

Here we are, off to summer great adventure number two: California! I flew down to Moorpark this morning and let me tell you...hot. My line of four different rides to the airport all failed me so Lindsay beach was kind enough to give me a lift to the airport this morning. Time with Lindsay is always full of good conversation. After missing the airport exit twice I finally made it and got out of the rain- and yes, Seattle has been having thunder, lighting and much rain the past two days. I spent yesterday evening trying to squeeze my bicycle into impossible dimensions so as to take it home with me. This failed. I packed my frame up nicely, but the wheels were the pests that lead to abandon the project. Anyhow, I got pulled aside because I forgot about a knife I had in my bag. So I went and mailed to myself, then got pulled aside again because my spool of hemp looked like a bomb or something. Finally making it to the plane, I boarded, had good conversations with an old couple, had a terrible terrible terrible headache and had lots of free ginger ale. My mom picked me up and we met and my dad for dinner at Los Torros (best bean dip. ever.) Now, we are hanging at home waiting for the notorious 3rd of July Moorpark firework extravaganza!

There are a few things that have happened this week worth noting: Tuesday was the last Aurora show until September, we played at Chop Suey with no crowd. We talked with a producer who wants to put us on EyeBall Records- we'll see. I almost took a craig's list rideshare ride down to LA on tuesday (with two dogs), but later decided against it. the G8 house got a house, but then immediately denied it on the grounds that it was too small. That's probably all anyone, including myself, needs to know about this week. 14 days.
