We're leaving for Australia in almost a week, I can't really believe that its so soon from now. Its been a crazy last few months for me and its only going to get more crazy. However there are no complaints, its good to be busy. These next few months Im going to be traveling to some new places i've never been before, and a lot of familiar places that I am excited to revisit.
We start the trek flying down to L.A. to catch a plan to Sydney Australia for the Soundwave Festival tour. If there is one place I have always wanted to go to and haven't yet, it's Australia. Now mind you getting there is going to be a bit of a struggle for me but it's got to happen. The last time I flew I made the wrong choice of eating a cheesburger from Mcdonalds right before boarding the plane. Only to find myself in a world of trouble. I ralphed all over Steve our drummer two hours into the flight. I then spent the remainder of the flight in the bathroom, violently vomiting and laughing from the events that took place. I spent those first few days of the tour with nothing but the feeling of regret and utter sadness at the choices I made. But nonetheless I felt better after the flight, ferry ride over the channel, van breakdown, van switch, practice, and first festival show. It was a rough start to an awesome tour, but lets hope history doesn't repeat itself.
I plan on bringing a camera or two to try and document these next few months as much as I can. Right after Australia we land in L.A. and start a six week long tour with Bad Religion and Against Me! Two amazing bands, and it will be great to share the stage with them from city to city.
I think I am just about done downloading these Henry Rollins radio shows featuring Jimi Hendrix bootlegs in mono and stereo amongst other great music. For any nerds out there who are looking for bootlegs or to hear stuff you have probably never heard before, check out his radio show.
