Quiet Time.

The thing I miss most?

It is a feeling.
Safe, quiet, unquestioning.
At ease.
It is an image.
Me sitting on my bedroom floor and I'm drawing.
TV on.
Him sitting on the bed and he's drinking.
We exist alone as much as together.
But at least we're together.





(That is what I miss most.)

Boys

Boys are cheats and liars,
They're such a big disgrace.
They will tell you anything to get to second
Baseball, baseball,
He thinks he's gonna score
If you let him go all the way,
Then you are a
Horticulturist studies flowers,
Geologist studies rocks
The only thing a guy wants from you
Is a place to put his
Cockroaches, beetles,
Butterflies and bugs
Nothing makes him happier
Than a giant pair of
Jugglers and acrobats,
A dancing bear named Chuck
All guys really want to do is -
Forget it, no such luck.

Zequels.

After much careful consideration, I have decided that I do like "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" slightly better than "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo". The serial killer who-dun-it plot is trite, although I must say that Eddie Griffin's performance is a thing of beauty. Plus, Eva is much cuter and more foreign than Kate. She had a prosthetic leg for crying out loud!

Now for the question at hand: Which "Problem Child" do I like better?
Been wrestling with this one for years. 
Both films are incredibly touching and colorful.
The struggle continues. 
Have you seen "Screwed"?

Generation Why.

So r parents' generation was all, "KIDS THESE DAYS GROW UP TOO FAST!!!"
So they babied us and encouraged us to use their insurance 'til we were 26 and live at home 'til we were 30.
Now they hate us cuz we're spoiled and irresponsible.
LOL. 

JTB/DP/CG TOUR BLOG!

SO recently my buddies Jeff the Brotherhood, who are a band, asked me, Colleen Green, to open a few shows for them and Diarrhea Planet, who is also a band. I excitedly said yes! And this is our story.

TUESDAY OCT 9 2012 - Troubadour, Los Angeles CA.
Took the 704 bus to West Hollywood when the time was right. It wasn't supposed to stop at the Troubadour, that's actually the 4 that does that (woopz!) but the nice bus driver let me off there anyway because I had talked to him a little and I think he could sense that I was a stoned idiot. Got to the show and the other bands were all there. I met all the Diarrhea Planet boys. They're sooooooooo nice. I have met some of them before, but very briefly. Actually I think I have only met Emmett before. ANYWAY, the show was really fun and great and I talked to lots of nice people. I was extremely nervous as usual, but it's ok. It's all part of my charm. I ate a slice of pizza that made me feel like I was tripping. It was not good. But then I went to the grocery store and got an apple, some sweet potato chips, and a chocolate/coconut/almond Odwalla bar. The zipper to my backpack broke but Emmett fixed it for me. My brother gave me a ride home and there I retired, feeling extremely happy and excited for the days to come. :)

WEDNESDAY OCT 10 2012 - Cellar Door, Visalia CA.
I got my things together and JEFF picked me up in their giant Sprinter. We went to the gas station and I saw a dude who works at my neighborhood weed store skating and talking to some weird old guy. We set off for Visalia, which has the 3rd highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation! We couldn't figure out why though. On the way there I had had a very upsetting txt/phone conversation with my record label. I cried a lot and was very sad for the rest of the day even though I didn't wanna be. The venue was pretty cool though. It had TONS of extremely comfy couches EVERYWHERE, which I love. I sat on one and read "First Person America". I had a conversation with a boy about the uncertainty of the future. He was pretty nice. He told me I looked young because I had a book in my hands. Something weird that I noticed was that I received more comments on this tour about looking super young than I ever have before...and I was the oldest one there! Ironic, don't you think?
ANNNNNNYWAY, the show was pretty cool although the crowd was strange and for the most part, extremely weirdly wasted. I ate some salad, but it was HUGE! So I didn't eat it all. Someone gave me weed in exchange for a t shirt, but I wished they had given me more. Afterward we all went to some guy's house where we smoked, drank, chatted, ate snacks, did puzzles, and went to sleep. :)

THURSDAY OCT 11 2012 - Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco CA. 
We all woke up and went to breakfast at a place called Valhalla's which is supposed to be like the best shit in Visalia. They gave us our own room! I got fruit and an egg and an english muffie. After breakfast Casey and I smoked a bowl on the street, and then we all set off for the bay area. Bottom of the Hill is cool and everyone there is nice. I played there once before, but all I really remember is falling asleep at the merch table and smoking lots of weed with Dan and Erica in the green room. Anyway they gave us food and I ate a chicken quesadilla which was good except for the salsa which tasted like marinara sauce. I played and it was pretty good although I chastised the audience with 2 songs to go for having shout-conversations while I was trying to play. I felt like the biggest piece of shit ever after that. I did not sell any merch. Nonetheless, the show was extremely fun and amazing. I was finally starting to let go of my nerves by this point and it felt good. I was getting more comfortable with everyone on the tour too which felt really good. Dan and Jose came to the show and Jose gave me a ride to Oakland after. This was the first time I had to say goodbye to the boys! It was hard. But I still felt like the happiest girl in the world. :)

FRIDAY OCT 12 - MONDAY OCT 15 2012 - Oakland CA.
I had been so busy saying my goodbyes the night before and getting high out front that I forgot ALL of my stuff in the JEFF van. Lucky for me they are super SWEET and dropped it off to me in Oakland the next morning on their way to Portland. This weekend was AWESOME. I stayed at Erica's, smoked tons of weed, walked around Berkeley, got breakfast with Brian and Kat, got breakfast with Erica, went hiking with Nate, Steve O, and Nate's dog Lilly who is the best most precious dog in the entire world, made dinner with Nate and Steve O and got extremely high on vapors, made dinner with Dan, made dinner with Erica, carved pumpkins with Nate and Dan, painted t shirts and watched a million spooky movies. It was so nice. :)

TUESDAY OCT 16 - The Blank Club, San Jose CA. 
Erica and I got mad high all day and then she drove me to the BART station so I could take the BART to Dublin to meet JEFF as they drove back down from Seattle. I left my phone in Erica's car. Meeting up with JEFF at the train station proved to be a bit of an ordeal due to this fact, but they found me eventually! Then we went to San Jose! It was so fun to be back with my tour buddies. This show was cool. It sort of came and went, I think probably because we didn't get there til 8 and therefore weren't sitting around for like 4 hours. But the night was super fun. The Blank Club is cool because the green room has lots of chairs and you can all hang out and talk. We weren't sure what to do after the show so we hung out in front of the club for a long time while Louisa looked for a place to stay. We finally set off for a hotel in Salinas and ate weed snacks in the car.

WEDNESDAY OCT 17 - Velvet Jones, Santa Barbara CA. 
I forget what happened during the day, but at some point there was a cool gas station/rest stop and we got out and looked at turkeys and goats and went up into a really cool tree house. Not sure if that was this day or what. But it fucking happened. Anyway, we drove and drove and then we got to Santa Barbara and I noticed that the venue was right next to this weird house I've seen on TV. The venue was pretty ok. I sat at a booth outside and smoked weed and read for a bit. It was a very nice night. Then Emmett, Mike, and Brent told me they were going to find cheeseburgers so I went with them. I like to walk around and will often take any chance to do this. It was really fun! I got excited when I saw that the place we went to offered milkshakes. I have been wanting one of those for a long time! We all got one except for Brent. I ate a salad. My milkshake was a strawberry one, and good. Then we went back and reconvened with everyone. I started the show and played to an audience of about 10. This was by far my favorite set. It sounded good, I played well and the audience was great. I actually felt confident and the fact that there weren't hundreds of people staring me down greatly helped with that. All the bands put on fantastic shows and by the end, a lot of people had shown up. This was the first night that Emmett from DP played the solo at the end of JEFF's "The Tropics" and it was soooooooooo good, and best because it was still a secret surprise. Everyone got pretty drunk at this show and it was silly. Some fans had expressed an interest in smoking mad weed with me and whoever else, so after the show I brought them into the green room which smelled like a dirty aquarium and we smoked 4 joints. The DP boys minus Mike and Casey went to stay with some incredibly wasted girl while the rest of us stayed at a beautiful beachfront hotel. :)

THURSDAY OCT 18 - Volcom Anniversary Party, Costa Mesa CA. 
Woke up, took a shower, and ate some FREE breakfast at a sunny table outside. Hung with Louisa and Mike. Then DP came to pick up Mike and Casey and we chatted for a bit at the table with Jordan and Emmett, who had narrowly escaped (maybe?) a raping the night before.
We headed to L.A. so that JEFF could get free clothes from Levi's. Me, Louisa, and Jamin smoked a bowl on someone's stoop in Hollywood in the sun. Then we went to the "Haus of Strauss", which is just this nice cool house that Levi's owns and they do special stuff there. They gave us fancy water and brought a bunch of clothes in our sizes for us to try on. I got a really classy shirt and a dress. Also there was a TINY dog there that more closely resembled a wind-up toy than a real animal, but he was precious nonetheless and we all played with and loved him. Jamin picked him up, but I don't think he liked it when I tried. Then we went to a taco stand with JEFF's booking agent (?) and his assistant. I got chips and salsa. I didn't want to eat too much in preparation for the Volcom "BBQ" we were supposedly going to.
So we headed to Costa Mesa. We arrived and there wasn't much to do at all. I walked around and saw a very colorful short bus with the phrases "CLOWN BUS!" and "YEASTIE BOYS" painted on it, and there was a crazy clown figurine inside as well. Not sure who it all belongs to. Volcom was having some sort of a party that they had invited JEFF and DP to play. We got to go to the Volcom store and get more free stuff! It was really nice of Jake and Jamin to let me tag along. I got an extremely soft and comfy zip-up hoodie that I now wear every day, and a little duffle bag. Thanks Volcom! Jake got an awesome faux-fur vest that makes him look like a caveman and is 100% perfect. We went back to the weird garage thing that the party was in, which was part of some sort of industrial park. It turned out that by "BBQ" they meant "some pizzas" but we got back just in time to enjoy a couple of lil' slices each. There were many hours of downtime and I was bored and I felt awkward cuz everyone was drinking and talking to someone and I didn't know who to talk to. The crowd was weird and obnoxious and many of them sported hats. As the evening wore on, however, it got funner, especially once the bands started playing. They were both incredible of course. There was a point when I decided I should drink a free beer to stave off boredom or just be DOING SOMETHING, but by the time I had decided to really go for it, all the beers were gone. That was fine by me. Along with Mike and Casey, we went to a hotel in Long Beach where we sat in the living room and chatted for a while before finally going to sleep. :)

FRIDAY OCT 19 - Alex's Bar, Long Beach CA.
Mike and I were the first ones to wake up, so we decided to venture out for some coffee. We walked back to the hotel and sat at a table outside. Casey woke up and we went back to the coffee shop. We walked around a bunch and went to a yard sale and an antique store. Then we met up with Jamin, Jake, and Louisa at a seafood restaurant that appeared to have some connection to Social Distortion; what kind remains unclear. I didn't want to eat there so I peaced out and walked around by myself to find food. I ended up going back to the original coffee shop and got a breakfast sandwich which was pretty good, but I wished I had gotten a bagel. I went back to the antiques store and bought a postcard. Then I went back to the hotel and Louisa was there. I took a shower. Then we all went to the beach! We had to go to Seal Beach because there were too many needles and trash on the beach where we were. It was super windy. I loved it. The water was freezing but I waded in and it felt really good. I wanted to go all the way in, but I didn't have a bathing suit or any other clothes or a towel. We played games and made pictures in the sand and saw a lot of dogs. Then we headed to the show.
Ahhh, what a bittersweet night! EXTREMELY fun though and I had a wonderful time. I rarely have as much fun at shows as I did while touring with these two amazing bands. Audacity played too which was cool cuz that band rules, but sorrrrrtttaaaaaooofffff bummed me out too. I never mind opening, nay - I love it, it's just that they broke up our package, and on my last night, which I thought was lame. But OH WELL. I sounded like shit and wished I had asked the sound man to mic the bass amp. But he was a lazy fool so whatever. Anyway, there were friends there, and strangers who smoked me up even though they didn't even see my set! So that was nice. We went across the street to get Banh Mi before the show and it was so good. I also got a coconut waffle which I ate later. Some girl told me I was her new best friend or something and really really wanted to buy me a beer, so I let her. I drank almost 3 beers at this show! People just kept buying them for me, and I didn't want to be rude, plus, I wanted them. It was fun. As usual, JEFF and DP killlllllllled it. JEFF started saying something about having fun on tour and how it was my last night and all and someone in the crowd yelled "FRIENDSHIP!!!!" It was really cute. We were all sad to leave each other. The night ended, I said my final goodbyes and gave my hugs. My friend Eric drove me home and we sang along to "Enema of the State" the entire way.

The End :)

28f Birfday.

You know something? Yesterday was my 28th Birthday. And it was a good day. I have been feeling pretty happy and kinda energized lately and since I got back from tour, I've been doing something almost every day. The night leading up to my birthday was really fun. I had planned to go see Patton Oswalt for free at Gower Gulch. Then Eric stopped by and wanted me to help him get weed, so we went to the weed store. I told him about my plans for that evening and he wanted to come, so a few hours later he picked me up and we went to Hollywood and smoked weed. The show was really cool and fun and we saw some good comedians like Natasha Luggero (LOVE her) and Nick Kroll. Also this old guy named Ron Lynch, he was pretty silly. Zach Galifanakis called on the phone. Patton couldn't make it, but that was ok. Then it was my birthday! We went to Chick Fil A. My first meal of 28 was a 6 nuggets and waffle fries kids' meal with Dr. Pepper. It came with a book called "Cowborg" or something, but I didn't really want that. Something I noticed was that there were no protesters at the restaurant, which I thought was really weird, because there were quite a few just a couple of months ago.
Where'd they all go?

So ANYWAY, yesterday, day of my birth, I had planned to go on a haunted cruise in the LBC with some buddies, but it turns out that thing was closed! So instead, I did the following things:

-Woke up.
-Smoked weed.
-Talked to my boyfriend on the phone.
-Opened cards from my parents and my friend Eric. I've noticed that in lieu of cash or check, my parents have been sending me Walgreens gift cards on birth- and holidays. How interesting.
-Went outside to get coffee and a bagel because, god dammit, I deserve it. The coffee shop on the corner just changed ownership, and now instead of a nice Korean family it appears to be run by a few young girls with monroes and slouchy knit hats hanging on for dear life to the backs of their heads. But! At least their bagels are somewhat better. Coffee is not as good, but the espresso is ok.
-"Watched" TV and looked at the internet.
-Learned that the haunted cruise was closed.
-Looked up corn mazes and pumpkin patches in L.A. There is a PP in West Hollywood!
-Talked to Eric and Mukta about future potential spooky hangouts. 
-Took a shower.
-Decided I wanted to eat a cupcake.
-Took bong rips.
-Listened to music on my computer, which I NEVER do, just too lazy to do anything else and am trying to make a mixtape also.
-Decided to take the bus to Santa Monica/the beach.
-Went to the bus stop.
-Realized I should have brought my brother's video recorder (I am making a video).
-Went back to the house.
-Got the video camera.
-Went back to the bus stop.
-Waited for the bus.
-Boarded the bus.
-Got off on Main St. in Santa Monica.
-Told a transient that I had no money.
-Proceeded to walk right the fuck into Buffalo Exchange, I dunno if he saw though.
-Tried on some clothes.
-Bought a kewl long sleeved shirt. FALL!
-Walked around looking for a place that could potentially have cupcakes.
-Walked to the beach.
-Walked along the beach for a long time.
-Got too close to the water and waves made my shoes wet.
-Watched the sunset next to the pier.
-Stared at the lights from the Ferris Wheel and roller coaster for a very long time.
-Went up to the pier and walked through the arcade.
-Purchased and ate a birthday churro. Ain't no cupcake but they just smelled so good! (Note: after eating the churro I learned that it was just ok, and still wished I had a cupcake.)
-Video camera filled up and I was really hungry so I started home.
-Walked around 3rd Street Promenade for a while.
-Went into a puzzles and games store to see "what was up in the world of puzzles". I think I need more of those in my life. They are expensive though.
-Discovered a secret hidden candy store that had every type of candy EVER, and was secret! I got Nerds and tons of super fresh salt water taffy. Also a "Turkish Delight", cuz I've always wondered what that shit was, but it was hella disgusting and weird.
-Spent almost $10 at the candy store.
-Walked to the bus stop.
-Sat on the ground and ate taffy.
-Waited for the bus for 8 minutes.
-Boarded the bus.
-Got off on Santa Monica Blvd.
-Went into the Carniceria.
-Looked at bread and rolls.
-Walked down the alley to the back entrance of my building.
-Unlocked the gate.
-Went in.
-Said hello to my brother Ryan and in return received a "Happy Birthday!" from him.
-Ryan's friend Jeff came over to work on Halloween costumes and watch spooky movies (a tradition they celebrate every Wednesday. I know yesterday was Tuesday but Ryan is going to see "The Book of Mormon" tonight. Lucky dog.)
-Got into my PJs.
-Watched TV and ate toast. I had made soup, but it was wicked gross.
-Called my boyfriend but he was half asleep.
-Received my first call on the CG hotline from someone with a North Miami number who wanted to know some of the lyrics to "Cujo". He also suggested I call aNOTHER hotline, but was unable to tell me what sort of hotline it was, or anything about it.
-Googled the number he had given me and discovered it belonged to a loyal CG fan and twitter follower. 
-Did not call the hotline.
-Watched that show "Flipping Out" and ate Nerds and taffy and drank iced green tea.
-Took so many bong rips.
-Received a second call on the CG hotline from a boy named Duncan who proceeded to serenade me with his rendition of "I am a Girlfriend". It was awesome! I was impressed by the fact that he was able to play the leads and stuff all live and shit and it was in time and he didn't mess up at all. I am always so impressed by people who don't mess up! Anyway he said nice things to me and wished me a happy birthday. What an amazing fan!
-Took SO MANY BONG RIPS.
-Fell asleep.

SEPTEMBER TOUR PIXXX.

Hey all people everywhere:
Recently I, Colleen Green, went on a very long tour with a band from San Diego called PLATEAUS. It was a strange and eerie tour. Everyone was extremely nice to us, except for those people that called Chris and Kevin faggots, that other guy on the street that called the entire van a faggot, and that shitty dude in Dallas who made me cry. FUCK YOU GUYS!

This was a weird tour and the first I have ever taken with absolutely no other girls.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, I would like to post all of the cellie pix I took and talk about them a little bit while I watch "American Psycho". It is almost over though. Did you see the ad in the Times? THERE WAS NO AD IN THE TIMES.

Here we are in the desert. I have no idea where. See that shadow in the front? That's mine.

Here is some OTHER picture of a spot in the desert with no people in it.

This was taken from the roof deck of the Mohawk in Austin. This place had the best green room ever. Unfortunately, I left a Lester Bangs book and "The Hobbit" on VHS, never to be seen or heard from again.

That's what time it is.

We stayed with Katie from Cheap Curls in Austin and she made her living room into a summerwonderland. She is the best.

Empty Zombieshop in Nashville, TN. We played with King Karl and Richie. This show RULED.

Feel u.

This is Bowie, the first doggie friend of the tour. He was an extremely nice and mellow dog as you can see, and lives in Decatur, GA with my friend Blarry.

This is a really dark picture of this weird glass mosaic face thing at The Pinhook in Durham, NC. This show was also very fun.

Here's Plateaus playing LIVE in-studio at the University of Maryland radio station. I played too! In order to get up here, we had to walk very far and up many many flights of stairs. Then after, we realized we could have parked directly outside the door to the station.

We also played an in-studio at Drexel University. Here's a picture of my friend Doty sitting in a wheelchair (left) and some guy (right) playing video games. Boys LOVE to play video games, as is evidenced here.

This is a picture of some really weird candy bar thing I got in Philadelphia. I ate almost all of it, but I dunno if I liked it. HOWEVER, I did try an Uncrustable on this tour fer the first time EVER, and I LOVED it.

My friend Doty is currently living in this hoarded out loft in Philadelphia because some crazy guy he works for is trying to sell it but is too old to live in it. It is really cool and there's tons of shit everywhere, as you can see. We stayed here for 3 nights and during that time we watched "Pet Sematary", "Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo", and smoked my weight in hash.

The view from the living room. I love Philadelphia.

We left the Kung Fu Necktie to go get food somewhere, but I forget where we went or what we did. Kung Fu Necktie show was TERRRRRRIBLE.

Brooklyn.

I have no idea where this was. North Carolina maybe? I like stadiums. I guess.

This was taken in some kind of student center at the University of Connecticut. I think. I like individual responsibility and think that it is an important thing to remember and appreciate.

Here is a picture I took of a picture that Radek (pictured, left) took on his phone. Ben (pictured, right) didn't think it was a good picture, but I think it is a-ma-zing and love these two excellent people. (Taken at the Middle East, Cambridge MA.)

Here's a picture I took of myself in the green room at the 9th Ward in Buffalo, NY. It was cold there! Someone had told me a few weeks before that this was Ani DiFranco's venue, and I was reminded of that when I arrived and saw that every single wall was completely covered with posters and pictures of her.

Here's a picture I took from the back porch of Josh and Theresa's house. 'Twas a beautiful morning.

We stayed with my friends Josh and Theresa. They are both extremely scholarly and are studying for their doctorates currently. They live in a really cool house with Lagwagon posters on the walls. Did you know that this is my favorite Lagwagon album? Well, now you do.

Niagara Falls! First timer over here. This place was COOL.

This is a picture of the amazing haul I got at Used Kids Records in Columbus, OH. The tapes all kinda suck but at least the INXS tape has "I Need You Tonight" on it. That song fucking rules. I was most excited about finding "Artie Lange's Beer League" for like $3. I also got "Uncle Buck" for my boyfriend for his birthday.

This is a picture of the venue we played in Columbus. This show was pretty ok. No one was there. It cost $10 and was on a Wednesday night, plus I have never played in Columbus before. I ate free french fries and the opening band smoked a bunch of weed with me and Chris and gave us weed. Then the promoter was like, "Waaaahhhh do I really have to pay you guys all this money? That sucks!" And I felt really really bad. But why would you say that to me? To make me feel bad, I guess. The worst part is EYE don't even HAVE a guarantee.

Here is a picture of an extremely tiny and thin bowl I purchased for $10 in Buffalo, NY. Times were tough! The boys had made me throw out my pipe(s) in the desert (where no one would find them) and Chris and I had to keep smoking joints every time we wanted to get high. Don't get me wrong, I like joints as much as the next CG...but I'm not made of weed! Also, I purchased that copy of "Pet Sematary" somewhere and read it by the time we got to CO. It's pretty dated and the way Stephen King writes certain stuff, you can tell he's a big loser IRL. But I liked it nonetheless and it yes it DID spook me.

DD in Cincinnati, I think.

Cincinnati! <3 br="br">

I have NO IDEA where this is. Well, maybe Louisville, cuz I like Louisville, so I guess I do have an idea. I'm just not sure dammit.

CPC! Surely they can't be the only members. Why I cleaned my plate just yesterday. Anyway, RIP Barbara and Holt, you're probs dead.

Something pretty in Louisville. I think. R u know what? It might still be Cincinnati. Any brave souls with information, please step forward.

They DO suck ass.

We walked over a pretty river in Lafayette, IN! Smelled like shit though.

Some guy is fishing. I wanna fish. I bet the fish smell like shit. Fishy shit.

We walked to a record store, it was big and had lots of records blahblahblah.

The Black Sparrow in Lafayette has an apartment above it where bands can stay for free. The guy who runs the place decided that since he let us stay here, he could take the money he promised to pay us and make it rain at the strip club for the rest of the night. He eventually came back, but not until 2:00 PM the next day.

I have never done this before and to tell you the truth, I wanted to do it. Empty Bottle, Chicago.

I sent this picture to my friend Kait.

I sent this picture to my friend Kayla, because We <3 a="a" boston="boston" had="had" in="in" kevin="kevin" murphy="murphy" once="once" party="party" someone="someone" that="that" to.="to." we="we" went="went" who="who">

This is a picture of Minneapolis taken from my friend Rizwan's back patio. Rizwan is mad cool and professional and I have known him for a very long time. He lived in New York for many years but now he lives in Minneapolis and that is awesome because now when I go there we can hang out and I don't have to feel bad for going to NYC and never hanging out with him. YAY!

I sent this picture to Kayla as well. It is Riz's book. We have played this game, it is sorta fun. Kayla is really good at it. It involves shouting though, and I don't really like that. I just like that there is an official book. Seems completely unnecessary, no?

This picture was taken on the street (Massachusetts St?) in Lawrence KS. There were many shops and eateries on this street and it seemed pretty cool. We played at the Replay Lounge with Rooftop Vigilantes and it was really fun. They are nice. Then we went back to the house we were to stay at and drunkards were singing Beatles and Oasis songs really loud and asked us for weed. WHO ASKS A TOURING BAND FOR WEED?!?!?

I love to get in the holiday spirit!

This picture was taken at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, UT, which I love. See that door to the right of the green window? The only comfy couch was located in there, so I sat on it and watched bugs fly around a light. We played with Super 78, who was really good. We were very late to this show. There was no bathroom here. At the end of the night some kid brought a 26" pizza for everyone to eat, and we did. It was soOOoOo GOOD! Then we went to someone's house for a bit, and there was a little ratty dog there that looked like Fizzgig from the Dark Crystal. Then me and my friend Joey walked to his new house, which was pretty far away. It was a nice walk though.

Shoshone Falls, ID. This drop is 45 feet higher than Niagara Falls and prettier in my opinion, and also has way less signs and t shirts everywhere.

Here we are at some skatepark in Boise, ID. This place was pretty cool and I watched a baseball game. Not all of it. Like 10 mins at the most. I'm into that.

Here's Plateaus soundchecking at Mississippi Studios in Portland, OR. This venue was really cool and Portland obviously rules. There was a secret green room which only I knew about apparently and I didn't tell anyone else.

This was the last picture I took on tour in Southern OR. If I had to guess, I'd say it was written by an extremely old man. Better get used to it, oldie!
