Ok, It's True. I'm Lazy.

I know I said I was going to post more often, but once again I have shirked my responsibilities by drinking too much and sleeping it off.  I found a new missing poster yesterday, or the day before, or something like that, but I was too lazy to upload it.  Now I'm just sitting here in a dark bar in Ventura, California waiting to play another gig and probably get drunk again, surrounded by a few SoCal beach bums and a couple drunks.  But wait, aren't I a drunk?  Nope.  You can avoid that label simply by jumping up on stage at some point in the night.  They call me a musician.


So, we took Viva Le Vox to LA and Hollywood today.  Jesus, I hate that city.  We drank a bunch of coffee in Eagle Rock after hanging out in a tiled basement all night, then went out to the music stores and sweated our balls off.  We did, however, get to visit Johnny and Dee Dee Ramones' graves in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.  But, anyway, I'll get back to you guys later.  My free pizza just showed up at the club.  Jealous?

March Tour News - This Time With More Viva Le Vox

Really quick apology time:  I haven't posted anything in a long time, but I have an excuse, as I usually do.  Stress coming from all sides.  And the saga continues...

So, I don't even have any pictures yet for this tour.  That means no stupid shit to make fun of.  I feel like I should keep you loyal readers in the loop, however.  We met up with that group of misfits from South Florida, Viva Le Vox, and are currently just getting started on our ten week tour together.  I won't get into the details, but The Sawyer Family lost a limb somewhere on the road and we're struggling to keep our heads on straight.  This, combined with the fact that we've had a few promoter "misunderstandings" and other general fuck-ups, has made this first week a rough ride.  Sorry California Bay Area fans for our last minute cancellation in Oakland, but we can not control the weather.  The Sierras can be a real bitch, and we were required to return to Reno to procure tire chains, setting us back some much needed cash and invaluable time.  Oh well.  Let's laugh about it now.  Maybe next time Oakland.

We started out in rainy ass Seattle.  Thanks Jen for the pasta, beer, and lodging.  We'll visit you again in the Puget.  Thanks to our Portland friends for coming out on a weekday.  Thanks Mac at the Speakeasy for treating us so well in Eugene, our humble home.  No thanks to the "Catch A Wave" slot machine in the Nugget Casino, Reno, Nevada.  It was really nice to see you, Rebecca, again.  But where were all the clamdiggers in Coos Bay?  I was telling Viva all about them, but there were none in sight.  Now they think I'm a liar.

Well, I promise to post more often with news.  Something's got to give here, and I'll be able to be funny again.  So sorry for the somewhat serious post.  Just had to tell you guys something.
