Yesterday's News

We just finished a week long jaunt to Durango, CO with several tour dates in between. We crammed so much driving into the short trip that I was unable to blog in real time. The good news is that Johnny brought a new little gadget on the trip that shoots HD video. We caught a bunch of random shit and documented it in a series of short video clips. Starting today I will be posting these clips with some back story each day in a segment titled "Yesterday's News". Here is the first segment. Enjoy!


Day 1 of the summer tour:

Four of us drove the first chunk of the tour (Me, Johnny, Tiny Dancer, and our new drummer Bryan Crawford). Ben and Sugar would be meeting us in Salt Lake City. I Arrived at Johnny's house at 6:45 AM. I expected him to be late, but this time he had a good reason. There was a girl in his bed! Good job Johnny, this is a major improvement over your prior excuses. Here are the first few clips of the day:


Bryan fell back asleep after we called and told him we were running late. This gave Tiny Dancer a chance to smoke another pack of cigarettes.



When you spend hours on the road, it can get a little boring. We spent a good chunk of the first day playing with all the cool features on my new I-phone. Not a very cool cowboy move, but you do what you gotta do to pass the time.



And of course there was some tension.

And some hat pranks. This is a Howdy Don't!

We got some lunch at a taco truck.

But at least Johnny got some sleep.

We made it to Boise that day and played a three piece set at Donnie Mac's Trailer Park Cuisine. Great place. We met some folks and got drunk. Donnie Mac gave us a free meal. Bryan shot some pool.

Johnny dreamed of playing poker, and Tiny Dancer smoked cigarettes "in doors". We brought some bottles of jack in the van, but Boise treated us well enough that we didn't even need to crack a bottle. We passed out in a hotel after tearing it up with the locals. It was a good end to a long day. Oh...., did I tell you how much I love Binaca?
