What’s up people. So today is the first day on the tour. We kick off the first date up in Salinas at the illustrious Fox Theater. We met up at a secret location near dodger stadium and awaited the caravan. We invited the boys from Misterequis and Kill Aniston along for the first four dates on the tour, so we knew we were in for 2 things. 1 – really good performances & 2 – late night partying. We hopped in the tour van and jumped on the 5 heading toward the central valley. Of course once we were actually on the freeway the pranks began.

We arrived at the venue a few hours before doors for the sound check. The Fox Theater is a huge venue with awesome sound. Got in, ran our sound and made way for Misterequis to run theirs. We always try our best to have everyone have a soundcheck. We’ve been the opening band so many times, so we try and treat everyone the way we would like to be treated.

After sound, we headed back to the hotel to check in. Berto mooned the equis guys, we changed into our Freddy Mercury jumpsuits and headed back to the venue.
Now driving up to the Fox was great. Seeing our name up on the marquee and people in line was so awesome.
We went backstage and joked around in the dressing room before heading out front to check out the bands.

Now, since I’m such a lagger/procrastinator and am posting this 2 years after the tour actually happened, I’m going to leave you with pictures from the rest of the tour with captions to let you know what the hell was going on. Or just use your imagination. Yes, what you are thinking really did happen. What can I say, we are double jointed.
Good night…..oh and say hi to your mother for me!
