West Coast - Spring 2009

Towards the end of February, flights brought us together in Seattle for a string of dates down the west coast playing with openers Cut Off Your Hands from New Zealand, and Telekinesis from Seattle.

I'm inclined to tailor a few of these entries a bit more like a photo-blog... but heres a little bullet list of what we did for these west coast dates:

- Barsuk dinner party at Josh Rosenfeld's lovely home
- Unnecessary Canadian border search
- Vancouver show
- Scenic ferry ride to Victoria, BC
- Show in Victoria
- More unnecessary Canadian border hold ups
- Day off in Seattle
- Expensive trip to Whole Foods and decadent fancy-beer tasting
- Portland show at the Doug Fir Lounge
- Hours of violent sprees playing GTA4 in the van (our Dodge Sprinter was pretty tricked out)
- Seattle show
- San Francisco Noise Pop Festival, show at The Independent
- 800 capacity sellout show at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles
- Visit with the Princeton boyz
- San Diego college show
- Savory dinner at The Linkery
- Studio performance for KCRW - "Morning Becomes Eclectic"
- Costa Mesa show
- Return to LA to perform on Craig Fergusen
- Flights back east

Be sure to check out my little video on this segment too. its got some cool time lapse segments that I pulled off with a handy tripod.
'Till Texas.
