I wanted to try and get some of this shit out sooner to the trip so my memory wouldn’t vague out on me, but that didn’t happen. I haven’t been very active on any of this type of shit at all lately, just cause it’s hard to maintain a steady flow of posts in between so many other interests. Anyway, me and the boys planned a trip around a Fest that one of Conor’s homies helped to put on out in Seattle. We jumped on the the after show of their Rain Fest out there and decided to book a few more shows around it.

So we basically booked some tickets and got some shows booked. Flash forward a couple months and we were on our way to the airport. It was a pretty clear morning which was cool

So we all got on this piece together, which was cool. I got the strangers side, but I’m fine with that.

Hey, that’s me

Real quick though, why not just take these things out?

We know this, but you still keep the stupid ashtray!

So anyway after the flight we had some tired buckaroos

Both backseat motherfuckers had heavy lids

Our first destination was to Chupacabra (coo-cco rico, coo-coo rico!) in Seattle which had some bangin ass food. like legit as fuck

I was very happy to see the crack of this wind shield once more (which frankly I can’t believe is still in working order maybe two years later)

and even more happy to be in a car with this guy and Lady Cece. The last time we hung was too long ago, and it was in NYC. so I missed those two, as well as all the other So Adult brethren.

Anyway, the last time I was out in Bellingham Bo and Cecelia were about to move into a new place. The extent of seeing the place was a finger pointing out the window as we drove by. But here we were at their new spot, soaking up all it’s magnificence. This is a shitty camera phone pic, so it sucks, but that is one hell of a view…

Like… dey got mountains and lakes all in one place! Shiiiiiiet

This is a panoramic of that view (click for a bigger view)

Anyway, as per usual Bo and Cecelia pretty much made us right at home and relaxed the second we got in. We took in the nice new spot they have, and hung out a while. Bo gave me a Wu-Tang hat he found a while back –  you can see a piece of it in this pic – nice guy

We futzed with guitars for a bit and semi showed Bo some songs. He is a pro though, and pretty much had all his parts fuckin air tight and solid.

how sick is this apt though, nice mounting mural behind the couch and everything.

Oh and usual they had some sick spreads to offer use this one was like some sunflower oil spread thing? I can’t even remember

And how awesome was it to add Tibbs to the first of the #tourcats tag!

She’s so freakin cute and loves her new place

she just chills by the window and peers out for hours. I would too if I were her

We caught up for a while and exchanged some stories before making a plan for the night

It was just awesome to be back with these two. It was just like we had been hanging out on the reg since we last saw them

Tibs also chills on LP paper bags like our girls do, I thought that was awesome

here is another shot of the view after the haze cleared a bit. So sick

Later that evening we headed to the alley, which is where Bo both works and practices with So Adult. Deep Pockets also was able to jam here last time, and much like last time we had a special audience member

I was so stoked to see this long haired motherfucker, Joey O, walk in!

he was gonna be joining us on a part of the trip, but he and another special guest came to hang out for a bit while we jammed. As stated earlier Bo maybe had two questions about the songs, but overall didn’t need any practice. total pro. it was awesome

once we were done jamming (and mainly sweating) we went up to do this to the little snack section of the lanes. no bowling this time, but free sodas…. big time, baby

here is our other special guest… DEREK! I was again so very stoked to see this cat. I was bummed he has a life and also couldn’t just come along for the ride, or as a second bass player, or 3rd guitar player, or whatever

We got to get some good hang time before heading back to the crib

Drew in particular was living up about 7 hours past his normal bed time. The next morning we were goin to try our hand at entering Canada (if I remember correctly) and we were a little nervous about our luck…
