Logged over 1000 miles in the car so far (Portland to Fresno, with side trip to LA) and still not used to the infernal heat down here in Fresno. At least the beer is plentiful, and the forecasted temps in Santa Cruz are more... civilized.

Damn, looks like the Giants are going to get their asses kicked in the 11th. More beer! See y'all Friday afternoon.

Alisha and I are hanging out with PFM in LA. We drive up the coast tomorrow. I almost threw up in the van that took us from the airport. But I didn't! Awesome. That guy drove the way my ass does.

Oh god, it's 4:30 in the morning, who the hell thought it was a good idea to plan a SFL/our travel arrangements where I have to get on a plane and thus have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, oh god.

(I shall update when we are in Vegas on a layover and I'm surrounded by rich men. Hopefully.)

Well Philadelphia Airport are vaguely well organized this morning, but I have to add the 1st class check-in and security lines did make it even easier. So we are settled in the USAirways Club Lounge and waiting the hour we now have for our flight. As Bjam said another update when we get to LAS....ching, ching, ching, ching, ching,ching,ching!

Hi, I am taking recommendations for fun things to do in Atlanta. I'm going to be there for ninety minutes this afternoon, though, so preferably nothing too elaborate.

You could ride the trains around and around... last time I was in Atlanta airport there wasn't even a decent restaurant. Good luck!

Made it to San Luis Obispo last night... I'm still working on adjusting to staying up late and sleeping in... I got started on staying up late last night, but woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep.

Driving up 101 today, stopping in Carmel, and then to Jack's this evening!

We're in San Franciscooooo. The plane rides took forever, but we're here and we'll be driving down to San Jose or straight to Santa Cruz tomorrow morning. I'll call someone at an ungodly hour and find out what the plan is. :D (And our hotel is right next to a "correctional facility". Sweet!)

Ok, So I hate to be the ass-hole that pulls out the day before the event

But I am

Im sorry! I know I wasnt like, the main draw of the show, but still I was another name Ken Spud and Jack and whoever else dealt with the line-up had to deal with. So I am so sorry!

Explanation?

I am moving off to college in 5 days, and there is more too it than I thought! So I am just tangled in too much, and I was trying to hold off to see If i could, but I just cant.

Im sad about not being able to play, but I am horribly sad about not being able to come at all, I have been looking forward to this since i Heard it was gonna be so near to me. So boo!

But have fun everyone! This is pretty much it for me and SongFight! (no recording stuff in my dorm room) so Thanks for everything!

Aww, that sucks :( I'm sure there will be photos and music from it, so hopefully you'll be able to relive it a little in the comfort of a dorm room.

(And you're in San Francisco? We are currently sitting in a hotel room in SF!)

Cold aint it?

Truth be told I am about 20 miles east of San Fran, but I can see the lights from the city reflecting off the fog from my house :)

Have Fun, you were the one of the ones i really wanted to see!!

In a beach house somewhere outside of Santa Cruz sit 4 fellas and 3 hot ladies. There is cheese. There are crackers. There is whiskey. I have consumed all three.

Also, we have otter pops.

Who's jealous?
