First Week Catch Up

Here we go. 5 guys, and all this junk



roughing it in this van (and ya know priceline hotels)

After an hour of playing tetris with the boxes and squeezing them into the van it looks like this.

We took out two rows of seats, and now we have the two seats up front and two rows of three. Too bad the back row is full or merchandise. Hopefully we’ll sell tons of t-shirts so we can stretch out in the back.

And now lets party




After blasting out of New York we breezed through Philly and landed in DC where I got to see a whole bunch of friends which was totally rad. We stayed at Oliver’s parents for the night and they made us some muffins for breakfast.

We went through Chapel Hill, NC and arrived in Atlanta last night. We couldn’t stand outside for more than 3 minutes without somebody begging for cigarettes. It was pretty weird. There were homeless people everywhere smoking cigarette butts that they were picking up off the ground. Than after the show as we were walking up the stairs to go to our rooms at the Super 8 motel there was a woman passed out on the stairs. The second we past her she woke up and asked us for cigarettes. The venue in Atlanta was the Drunken Unicorn, which takes the cake for best concert venue name of the tour.

Somebody had made some Jesus graffiti.




On our way through Georgia we encountered some goats in a pen next to a McDonalds on the side of the road. The goats were hanging out and we had a discourse over the phonetic differences between baaa and bah.



Truck stop in Georgia. Southern pride and boiled peanuts

  1. Not surprisingly, David's blog is very funny and really his commentary on America, along the lines of Borat, but with David humor.

    I particularly loved the shots of the van and the tetris load, as well as the bah and baaa shots.
    Keep the commentary and photos coming!!!
    David and A Place to Bury Strangers conquer America.

  2. Great to see the countryside. Please include more photos of the venues where you are playing. This is a true On the Road experience. Thanks for blogging. It makes my day!

  3. I really enjoyed the photos you posted of your adventures this week. How come I am the only one posting comments or am I not seeing everyone elses posts?
    Your description of the coastal drive makes me want to put it on my travel list for retirement -- especially the trip to Portland.
    Be well and enjoy those diner breakfasts. Photo of the food is great!
