Roadtrip South

23 10 2009

After the San Diego show we headed in land along the Mexican border, it was crazy to see border patrol vans everywhere and a clear view into Mexico while we were driving inland through southern California. We drove overnight and I was stoked to wake up to the mountain outcrops of the Arizona desert. After I lost a shitload playing Uno we finally got to Tucson, Arizona in the late afternoon. The place was pretty cool, a small city with mountains in the distance surrounding it. After the show we started driving again straight away heading for Tulsa, Oklahoma which was like a 16 hour drive. Another overnight drive with the highlight being when i got woken up at 4am for my first waffle house experience. I felt sick after but for some reason i kept going back. Oklahoma turned on easily the shittest weather of the trip so far, it was foggy and the rain was doing spray shits sideways. The show was still huge and the next drive to Oklahoma City wasn’t too far. To pass the time in shitty Oklahoma City we decided to go to a mall which turned out to be almost rundown, also the venue was a durry fest which added to my frustration. The next day the sun came out as we headed for Austin, Texas. The city was interesting and it was funny just being in Texas for the first time hearing peoples accents and laughing when they couldn’t understand you. There was good food and what seemed to be a shitload of bands playing throughout the city all at the same time. I spent the next two days losing alot more in Uno while we drove between New Orleans & back through Texas to Forth Worth. Both places were crazy and Fort Worth was pretty much a cowboy town with saloons, cobblestone streets and desmonds riding by on horses. After the Forth Worth show i was exhausted but stoked i got too see some great shit and hadn’t gotten sick yet. Time to hit the east coast.
