Warning: The following was started and finished days apart. Sorry it’s messy.

Redding, ca has so many wild mustaches. Well, at least that’s how it seems here. Tonight I played a show to a bunch of people who didn’t care, but to be honest I can’t blame them. I showed up two hours late and then misread the room. The thing is I hate stages and mics unless they’re necessary but I guess sometimes they are, regardless of how many people are there. The thing is, I was just happy to have made the show seeing as I woke up way too late and left Portland hours after I should have, belly full of crap egg and cheese. I thought if I sped the whole way i’d be fine. The problem is at one point the traffic slowed in a suspicious way but it mainly seemed to be trucks putting chains on their tires so I kept moving. Eventually there were signs that you needed chains but seeing as I don’t own chains and nor do I give a fuck I kept going. And then there were flashing lights and a dude telling me I either needed chains or had to turn around. Otherwise I had to pull off and there was someone selling chains. Convienent that nobody was of cop Status and the chains plus install were 100 bucks. Fuck them. I drove ten miles out of the way and avoided them, despite shitty road conditions and after bypassing them was on my way. I wasn’t going to miss my show because people thought I was going to fall for some extortion type crap. I’m from jersey; I know how to drive in the snow and I can smell bullshit.

Anyway that’s how I ended up at the show late. Only later would my night turn up to overdrive and would I be welcomed into the home of a women with a child whose husband is a junky but she herself is a total sweetheart with a strong head and obvious love for her daughter. Ive not even referenced my first pasta-roni or the Jehovahs witness boyfriend of the roommate who wouldn’t have sex because she’s not a witness. What?

Oh and in the morning their puppy jumped in my sleeping bag and pissed in it.

But after all that I saw spence. He’s playing with STD now and totally deserves it. He’s one of my greatest Friends and I love and respect him and have been waiting for him to get his chance. Plus the guys I met seem really stand up and I don’t give a fuck who you are or what cred you have but if you’re good people you’re good people. Suffice it to say I left happy and proud of my dude knowing he is in a good place with good cats. Beautiful.

Onto the bay area where I am now and need to sleep. I’ll elaborate later. Sorry for the disjunct timing.
