Goodbye Texas/ Houston





On our way to Memphis.
We played our last show of the Texas leg last night in Houston. It was a pretty cool show. We played really well, probably the best we played so far, although there weren't very many people there.
We've been playing some pretty legit venues. The Roots are playing the night after us, and Rancid played the night before.
It was crazy coming into Houston, seeing the huge skyline, and seeing the city of my birth for the first time, (that i can actually remember.) Its a beautiful city. I've been so used to telling people that i was born there, without any idea of what 'there' was. The city looked a lot different than the mental picture i've always had.
i found some weird bug bite on my arm thats bruised and pretty gnarly. i'm sure its some random thing that probably got me whilst asleep on the side of the road somewhere. i'm gonna keep and eye on it for a couple days, and see if my arm falls off or anything.
we're in Baton Rouge right now, in the parking lot of a motel. we crashed here last night. our manager bought a room for himself, but was too tired to make it all the way here last night, so a couple of the dudes slept in the room while court and i slept in the van.
we have a couple performances today. josh and i are doing a radio performance, and the band is being video taped for a Sun Studios performance. its where Elvis and Cash recorded albums and stuff. lotta history. should be cool.
