digging is gay.

so we drove around L.A. last night. it was awesome. we found this super rad vegan thai place in hollywood that had really good fried seitan. a little pricey, but when am i gonna get that stuff again?

after that, we went into downtown L.A. at night. the skyline was spectacular. seriously breathtaking. we drove late into the night to get to santa barbara, and it was surreal driving along the coast knowing the pacific was right there. we got here around eleven and had to wait til one thirty til the people we were staying with got here. we stayed up late shooting the shit, and although i only got a few hours of sleep, it was still awesome.

today was rad. the first day of sound and fury proved to be quite awesome. swamp thing were pleasantly surprising, and every band i was stoked to see went above and beyond my expectations. reign supreme fucking destroyed. every time i see that band i want to level whatever building im seeing them in. i rolled my ankle towards the end of their set, so the mosh was somewhat limited, but it was still awesome. let down were also in the zone tonight, and for the first time ever i found myself enjoying their actual music as opposed to their company. trash talk were hyped up, of course, but i spent their set outside so i cant really say what it was like. cold world were awesome, despite the constant bullshit weak stage diving going on during their set. i swear, maybe it's a california thing, but at least get a running start and actually fucking dive instead of just falling into a group of people. also, the whole grabbing the mic for whole fucking verses in songs got really old really quick. have heart were, as per usual, insane, and it was difficult to be up front for them without getting dived on by amateurs.

we're staying with this girl angel from iowa at a motel six. she knows klint and is super nice, and, since she constantly wishes death on herself, reminds me of myself and is thus awesome.

we also finally met the legendary manny mares tonight. what a good fucking dude. he's sleeping on the floor a few feet away from me. seriously such a fun guy.


im currently under a sink right now. its awesome.
