Life: Version Den
Choose your own adventure:
Morning:
Wake up and-
A. Record your instrument
B. Engineer the recording of someone else’s instrument
C. Drink a modelo or espresso and whiskey
D. Throw the football for 4 hours
E. Shoot cans with the daisy bb gun
F. Drive to the alberstons in New Braunfels to buy more modelos looking down when in the checkout line to realize you are wearing dirty gym shorts, cutoff sleeves of a thermal shirt as leg warmers, a white tshirt covered in sharpie, and your disheveled beard is only trumped by your disheveled hair (yet, you somehow still leave with the checkout girls number)
Repeat for 2.5 weeks

The Tour Is OVER
Well, we've rented a house out in the wilderness about a half hour outside of Austin, and if this is the last blog post, you will at least have a general idea of where our bodies are buried. We're setting up a studio and we're beginning work on a full album, maybe you could say that little stretch of touring was just practice for this...

Hurricane Couldn't Touch 2nd Houston Show
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Dallas: Sold Out, Houston: Underwater
Had a gig cancelled in Houston due to power outages from the hurricane. But it looks like power is back up at our Houston show for tonight, so we shall be leaving Dallas shortly.
Our run is nearing an end and although many of us are violently ill, no one is dead. Late nights, long drives, and lots of cities have taken their toll, but we're still moving. Houston, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Austin this week. Rock on Den.

DENton?
Fun Quotes from The Tour
"Follow this guy on the motorcycle, he's going to take us to our money".
Denver, 4am, Under A Parking Garage
Paramedic: "We got a call that there were some dead bodies under here, you guys probably shouldn't sleep here."
UP date
Everyone is alive, and we have made enough money to pay for gas and whiskey. What more could we ask for. We've made it to Dallas and have a little more than a week to go. Houston may be underwater so we might not be able to play our two shows there. Two nights ago we won the Habitat for Humanity battle of the bands in Fayetteville, Arkansas to get a $250 gift certificate to a music store, unfortunately they didn't sell whiskey.

Drew Blog - Episode 1
What I've Learned
The time between an attempt to flood all the equipment in a muddy field of cilantro and this cool, sunny San Francisco morning has held 5 very successful shows. Santa Barbara, SLO, Santa Cruz and Davis have all been conquered in DEN fashion and we've made enough gas money to get this far.

Santa Barbara To SLO With No Brake Lights
Sunday, August 31, 2008
The Woes and Beings
Man is truly humbled when he begins an epic musical adventure with a Texas pickup truck stuck in the mud of a central California farm. And by humbled I mean mentally tripping balls in a bad way. Imagine wading through knee deep mud moving large and heavy amps while getting hosed by farm sprinklers and trying to not mess up the most important assets in a "band."perm
City People, Country Roads
On the way out to the farmhouse to convene for the beginning of the tour, irrigation from the neighboring fields floods the road. While Andrew cruises safely through in his sedan, Kurt manages to get his Ford F150 Pickup stuck. (hmmm). Result is a shower of sprinkler water all over all amps and guitars, Drew ejects from the cab and trudges through mud to hold sprinklers manually so they don’t flood and ruin all the equipment in the uncovered truck bed. Kurt spins tires frantically digging a deeper hole. I wait helplessly 3 hours south in LA, waiting for the call back for the conclusion of the events. Will this tour be foiled before it even starts? Electronics and muddy water do not mix well. Initial conclusions: City folk do not know how to drive on country roads.
