Typical.

Halfway through Illinois, Graham started driving our van for the first time and after 5 min. and whattaya know...we get pulled over for:
- speeding 9 miles over
- having skulls/feathers hanging on the rearview mirror
- swerving over te fog line
Clearly, our van looks like a buncha potheads are in it but we kinda freaked about getting a speeding ticket since we are broke. Turns out the cop is just trying to find drugs or illegal aliens...he had his big scary K-9 search the outside of the van while Graham got searched. The dumb dog ripped off a piece of our van. He smelled cannabis so the cop kept asking if we'd been around it. He asked us about our band (what kinda music, folk or something?) and asked Graham if he had a dog. Graham said yes, his name is Bubbles. Weird name for a dog, he replied. Graham is wearing a pink sweater with hippos on it and a feather hairclip. He found nothing cuz our van is drug-free and left us with this warning, bidding us safe travels.

Today!

We embark on our journey to sxsw. We're on our way to Omaha.

I Almost...

...had a heart attack about an hour ago. Our van wouldn't start up, which isn't surprising considering the fact that it was $400 and we had to get a new accelerator already because it wouldn't start up. But Daddy Tom came to the rescue (once again) and saved me from being crying girl. I hate crying girl - she sucks!

Well the van started up and that was the end of my long night of my Extreme Van Makeover. Will post pix tomorrow. It's pretty sexy inside, but I ghetto'd up the outside with spray paint. It was rusting its' balls off and I just kind of tried to cover it. FYI you can't buy spray paint in Chicago so I kept thinking some cop was gonna stop by and think I was vandalizing someone's ugly beautiful van.

Anyways, we're going to Omaha tomorrow to hang out and then we embark on a 13 hour long journey to Austin so you'll be seeing a lot of pictures of us going bonkers in the van. We're going to try not to stop.

Remember that cartoon, anyoneanyone?

The website I found that image at is pretty ill. Axel F midi file.

Oh and what the hell! This show looks so good but we're gonna miss it..

YOU + ME = US

Not this Saturday, but next Saturday. It's a day party! so you won't miss your fav night bands. I heard we're going to be drunk. Get at us if you're gonna be there. We need a floor to crash on.



RSVP to george@day19.com for a "goodie bag" full of random shit. You get a pair of K-Swiss shoes. You know, in case you get too drunk and lose one or both of your shoes.

Day Eight

Day Eight in St. Louis. I miss that place and its toasted ravioli charm.




Hilary won Texas and Ohio. Ohh man this is gonna be close.

Saw this video featuring MIA on pitchfork today-thought I'd share. Nice to see someone else can pull off those dance moves besides me. Think anyone got hurt?




peace out girlscouts,

Paul
