Man oh man, almost done with the record. Bored in the studio and thought I'd post another random blog. A few lessons to take home from Cali.

1. Under no circumstances, park your car in a PetCo parking lot and go to Hollywood
2. Don't waste your time saying you're in a band in LA, everyone is in a band. Just say you are a landscaper.
3. The Palms is the nicest place to eat ever (thanks Eric)
4. Gambling on horses is a really easy way to lose $20
5. The 99 cent Spicy Chicken Sandwich at Carl's Jr. should win some kind of award
6. If you hang out of the passanger side window of a moving 15 passanger van and yell "RIDE THE TIGER" at the top of your lungs, anyone, no matter who they are, will turn and stare
7. There is no sweet tea in California and that is sad
8. There is no good barbecue in California and that is sad
9. Wii golf is a game of champions
10. Real golf is a game that you are never as good at as you thought you were
11. Californian girls get really silly when you compare them to Southern bells and will try to cook for you (Jen the grilled cheese made my year though)
12. A girl in a rebel flag bikini is about the most attractive thing I have ever seen in my life (sigh)
13. Bologna, Cheese, and Mayo on White Bread can save your life if it is done right
14. You should not run at a bed full speed and try to somersault across it into someone, you will miss then and hit the nightstand
15. Video chatting and www... are about the most entertaining things you can do in your free time
16. The next is watching cover videos of your songs on YouTube either played by bands or synced up to anime
17. Girls really respond well to you telling them that you're going to stab them, who knew it (don't ever take my advice, you will get slapped)
18. Urinating off of a balcony is frowned upon at the Oakwood apartments, as are a number of behaviors we thought we acceptable
19. Not having a robe when you go to a hot tub is an amateur hour move
20. If you are looking for an amazing night, strip down and make some shorts out of bubble wrap and duct tape, then run around the streets of Long Beach. That should do it

I hope these pearls of wisdom and observations of life through the eyes of Diablo will enlighten you or at very least amuse you. See you next tour.
