Snow time.

May 8th - 12th

So basically, I meet some really neat people. We went and played in the snow and then went to Portland and I had the best time I've had since being in the states.

Thursday 8th May
Church + The Ocean Floor + The Vibarians + Jenny Jenkins
Le Voyer, Olympia.

This is Church....

They're really fantastic.

Friday night - house party at 'The House of the Rising Sun' . Featuring a whole lot of singing around a campfire by a lot of talented people. Even some group chanting .

Look! Romona Cordova was there. eeee!

Church played in the Garage. Then 4 cop cars turned up to complain about the noise coming from a stripped back semi acoustic set. Fucks sake.



This is where I met my new friends, 'The Ocean Floor' and 'Church', 4 lovely boys from Portland. I needed to get to Portland to try make some money at a craft market over there and they offered to give me a ride.... and to host me for the weekend. A very nice drunken offer that they probably didn't expect me to take them up on.

BUT I DID. ha!

Some of us went to Mt Saint Helens, thinking we might be able to go have a swim or something.....





Instead we decided to walk 2 miles in the snow with inappropriate footwear and no torch to explore Ape Cave. We figured the whiskey would keep us warm.

Writing you band name with pee is apparently harder than you think.

HUUUUGE.

We decided it would be a really great idea to venture into the depths of the cave full of whiskey and with out a torch. It was, and there were bats!





Then we continued on to Portland and saw a whole lot of Elk.



Then my camera died.

So just quickly:
Saturday
Went to town wearing plastic bags round my feet because my shoes were still wet from the snow adventure. Hot look. Comfortable to.
Me and Lane (Ocean Floor) came across a marching band in the middle of the street and followed them into a bar and Danced our asses off. Then we went to a strip club. We missed the last bus so walked home for 2 hours.
Then I slept for 2 hours (2 hours of sleep the night before also)
Sunday
Got up and was told "you look like you is lit!" while waiting for the bus.
Walked around for 2 hours (still drunk) looking for the venue the craft market was in.
Made a whole $2 at the craft market.
Met some of Lanes awesome friends that thought New Zealand accent were the coolest ever since seeing 'Eagle v's Shark'.
Went to see Church play yet again at a place called Valentines. SUCH a cute venue.
Monday
Lots of hanging out and playing drums.
Tuesday
Got a ride share home.
