Welcome To Bizarro World

The tour of the west coast and west ended with a bang, or more like a thud, we played Park City Utah, in an outdoor festival for the arts, hung out with the likes of Danielle and Laura, who not only rock harder than pink pseudo victorian chairs, but drove all the way from St George where they saw us in the fabulous Electric Theater, that show was rocking, I never knew so many cool people lived in Utah, back to the end, it was pretty chilled, Ian and I hung out in the hot tub talking about the album and went to bed early, because who knows what's in store for the next day.

We woke up dinked around the hotel for awhile and drove Ian to the Airport, and off I was on the long drive back home, when the phone rang, usually I hate the phone, it seems like this incessant bug that buzzes every time am trying to do anything, and this time it was destiny, but more of that later. I drove all night to make into Albuquerque, pulled off the road and decided to take a nap, when some creepy guy pulled up in his dodge (kid toucher) van and walked around the tour van looking creepy, so i jumped up into the front seat screamed expletives and turned the lights on, and off he went to go find some other people to stalk. So after that I slept in the Flying J travel plaza so that only creepy patrons can stalk the tour van.

Currently I am sitting on a flight bound for Lacrosse Wisconsin, to do unspeakable things like guitar tech for Jimmy Messer the guitar player for the Kelly Clarkson tour, yes that's right American Idol winner, strange how a phone call from the ever so cool Mr. Forshage could get me out of the van and into a bus with someone that was on tv, gosh, this is just so neat, I will attempt to wrap up the last of the west coast tour while I sit on my ass on a tour bus that somebody else drives, so expect updates, funny pictures and defiantly some shenanigans.

C.D.

So here I am sitting in a posh room in a Radisson in Lacrosse Wis, just mere hours ago I was driving mindlessly through the desert for weeks, and now i am sitting in Wisconsin, just to recap the last couple of weeks in places, lets try, Dallas, Little Rock Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Shreveport, Austin, Alpine TX, San Angelo, Boston, NYC, Jersey, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, L.A., San Fran, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Reno, Minnesota, Wisconsin. That's insane, American Idol, That's Insane, Tour Bus, even more insane, driving a dilapidated Ford van that drizzles oil, windshield wipers that work on their own accord, vibrating like a magic fingers bed, speaking of which it has a bed in the back, chicka chicka wow wow, across this great country is ludiChris, Yo.

Oh and I forgot to add, my room has free, let me say that again, Free high speed internet access, I called down to the front desk and asked, "how much is the high speed internet access?" and they responded, "on your floor it is free Mr. Dye", fuck yeah, that's right Mr. Dye, I got me some free fast internet, that stinking van doesn't have free fast internet, hell that stinking van doesn't have an air conditioner that works when its not running. I have yet to meet anyone from the group yet, but even if they are mutants, I have a nice big room with fast internet access all to myself, and the people at the front desk call me Mr. Dye. You can't see me right now, but I have a shit eating grin a mile wide, and when i wake up, it will still be there, without the aid of strategically placed coat hangers.
