Hello boys and girls.

We are currently in Tempe, AZ for the 3rd night of our winter tour.  We're very excited to be back out on the road again, and to be going to some places we've never been before.  We started to get ready for the tour by a 2 day practice at Tom's parents house.

They live in the middle of nowhere so we can practice as long as we like and the even feed us.  It's a pretty sweet deal.

We even hung out on the bus to finish writing lyrics to a new song of ours.

We wanted to practice writing songs on the road.

Thursday the 10th was our frist show at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood.
Photobucket
We were excited to start things off there because we have a lot of friends in LA that we don't get to see too often.
Photobucket
All and all, it was a good start to things.
Photobucket
We were pretty excited to premiere 2 new songs that we've never played out before.

Friday we had a show in our beautiful hometown San Diego.
Photobucket
Drink it in.

but before the show we had to make some T-shirts.
Photobucket
Yes, everytime you buy a shirt from us, it is actually hand screened by us.
Photobucket
we even cure them by putting them in Alex's oven.
Photobucket
it's a lot of work, but we do it all for you guys.

We has a great show that night at the San Diego Beauty Bar.  We were overwelmed by the crowd, and it was the best send off we've ever had before a long tour.  We were also really excited because the good people at Ministry of Ink were kind enough to hook us up with some tattoos.  Steve got some Dia de los muertes thing

and I got Bender from Futurama

I wish I would have gotten some footage of us hanging out on the bus and getting tattooed, but hopefully you'll be able to see all of it soon on A&E.

That brings us to today, which although technically is the 3rd day of our tours, only feels like the 1st to us, since we only left our homes for good this morning.
Photobucket
we loaded up the bus
Photobucket
made one last decent Mexican food run

and set out for the unknown

we were all a little tired though from one last night celebrating with our friends though.

We also ran into some trouble on our way to the venue in Tempe.

We did make it here safely, but now we have to figure out how to get our brakes fixed before we leave for El Paso tomorrow morning because our bus is definitely not safe to drive as of right now.  Hopefully, it won't be too expensive or hard to get fixed, but if you'd like to help us out you can go ahead and buy our cd from iTunes or CD Baby so we don't have to skip eatting for a few days.  I lost most of my money trying to win us a lobster dinner.

That's all for now, but be sure to keep checking our myspace as we will keep updating you with new shows being booked, and updates from the road.  Take care.

Love,
Allan and D Walls
