After 2 weeks on the road we finally
hit the west coast! It's been weeks since I've seen a single person
that I'd ever met before who wasn't Joshua, Holly, or a drunken
lecherous stuffed penguin. First order of business: find water.
Mountains are great and all, but they don't have octopi. Unless they
do, in which case: Crypto Mountain Octopi! (new band name?) After
much discussion about whether the Puget Sound counts as the Pacific
Ocean (it doesn't damnit!), we ended up at Golden Gardens and
wandered around for a bit. The warm sand felt like heaven beneath my
feet. So what if the water's on the wrong side? It was slightly too
cold to actually go in, though that didn't stop me from trying. This
is Pen Pen trying to fit in with all the grunge seagulls (which is my
other new band name).
I met up with my cousins for dinner at
a place called the Golden Beetle. Extracting from a sample size of
two, I'm assuming that everything in Seattle is named “Golden
Something...” The first few weeks were road food and processed
crap. Eating real organic food for the last few days is a luxury I'm
not used to on tour. We got to the venue and met up with Eric and
Elizabeth from DVDOD and Safeword Sasquatch, who I played with last
year. Seattle is a homecoming show for Joshua and Holly, so between
their friends and my family there was a decent crowd for a Tuesday.
The show was a lot of fun, and it was great seeing Joshua play to a
hometown crowd who knew all his songs and sang along. Well, we made
it to the coast. Now time to drive south for a week! This is Pen Pen
with conclusive evidence of the existence of aliens.
This is a song I wrote one time. You should download it and share with your friends.
