poster by Santiago Uceda

just successfully traversed HWY 1 between Monterrey, CA and Santa Barbara, CA despite mudslides and blockades and absolutely epic scenery… stoked for our show at Muddy Waters tonight in Santa Barbara! i’m currently in the backseat of our swift hearted travel beast Ghost Ghost and was marveling at this blog post of Lloyd Winter IV’s and wanted to share… some nice photos and a walk through of the process that he and Santiago Uceda went through in hand-printing the epic tour posters they’ve sent along with us on this monster lap around the US. check it out… split fountain mountains

also, our friend and kind hostess in Eugene — Cara Merendino — posted a nice blog about our time together in Eugene last sunday and monday morning… including a video of us playing Pancakes in the cozy KWVA studios. very cool. mouth trumpet and other shenanigans in eugene

tour’s been great thus far. thanks for all the kind kind folks along the way for the home cooked food and awesome company. very thankful for all the generosity!

also worth noting is that the Boise Weekly is hosting tour diaries of local Treasure Valley bands now and we’re essentially hosting the pilot episode. look forward to seeing more local bands involved as well!
