elevated living

saviours, from oakland california.  were doing the whole tour with these maniacs and it's already ridiculous heavy partying.  this picture is from the first night in Berlin, at Kopi.  It was thanksgiving, we ate spaghetti at our chummy goran's house and then tried really hard to stay up past midnight to beat jetlag, resulting in some of us being up until 9am, myself included.

our new goal is to go to sleep before it gets light out, and weve almost accomplished that one.  last night in Hannover we got to sleep at 5am, after drinking all these silly shots at some bar hours after the show finished.  german kids dancing at shows is always a cause for celebration!

our chariot awaits

this is our van for the second tour this year.  its really big and really fast, the heat works and its got 9 seats in it, which are usually full of random swedish punk rockers that make fun of us and buy us beer at gas stations.

i cant complain, im on a plane

happy birthday to me, and happy thanksgivin' to yall!!  crossin' the pond tonight and celebrating thanksgiving with our oakland brothers, Saviours, tommorow in berlin...the fabled deutschland awaits!!!

it's a long way to the top

  this is a sketch i had made on june 12, 2006, in the netherlands, at a tattoo shop in the beautiful city of den haag called on edge.  it soon after became my first tattoo, during my first real bands last tour, a seven-week monster all in europe, starting in iceland and finishing in holland, taking in a lot of countries,  bands, highways, tweakers, and hangovers in the process.  4 years and two bands later, nothing has changed.  im still broke, i still love it, and i still want it more than anything.  

cheers to all the idiots still chasing down the impossible!
