12:30p - Pack up the van and hit the road. 2 hours to LA and hopefully we can avoid traffic.

1:10p - Just getting out of San Diego and the excitement of the trip is already too much for Mikey to handle.

1:35p - Oh wait, we're supposed to practice aren't we.

2:48p - A quick stop on the side of the freeway is always a good time for a photo.

4:30p - On the homestretch having just passed through Santa Barbara and only another hour of costal driving until we reach San Luis Obispo.

6:15p - Pull up to the Frog and Peach to learn that the venue was double booked and that we might not be able to play. We took it pretty hard.

9:00pm - Everything all straightened out and we go on to play for an hour and a half to a rowdy Tuesday night crowd. San Luis Obispo has a really cool vibe and we definitely recommend a visit if you've never been.

1:00am - One last pit stop before Jon tackles the all-night drive home while the rest of us stay wide awake to provide support.

5:30am - Made it home with 12 hours to spare before our next show. $200 in gas hurts a little but a great trip overall.
