The plan...

So, one reason for this blog that I forgot to mention before is that I will be driving cross-country in 8 days with my friend Ryan Ferguson, who just happens to be an awesome musician. He is starting a solo career after performing for many years with a band called No Knife. He'll be playing a few shows on the way, which will make the trip even that much more exciting. Our first night, 4/29, will be in Phoenix, where Ryan will be playing at a record store called Stinkweeds along with an Arizona band, Rueben's Accomplice. Ryan has known the Reuben's guys for quite a while from touring with No Knife, so we're hoping we can crash at their place. After Phoenix, we'll make our way across Texas to Austin by 5/1. In Austin, we're hoping Ryan can get on a bill with The Good Life, friends of both of ours who happen to be playing Austin that night. The following day, Ryan will be playing an in-store performance at Waterloo Records. Then, we have to make our way over to Philadelphia for a show on 5/5. I think we'll probably make stops in Memphis and Columbus between Austin and Philly, but we'll have to see about that. It would be great if he could pick up another show somewhere in between. After Philadelphia, where we'll stay with our life-long friend Jeff Hooks, we'll head up to New York. Ryan will play a final show in NY and then fly back to San Diego the following day or the day after. My hope is that I will have internet access most days at some point so I can update this blog with updates and pictures. We'll see how that goes, but that's the plan.
