on tour. We stayed with Baptist who is a former Westchester music
maker. They lived at the end of the grave yard and they where really
nice and awesome ! we watched a ton of movies including Hook, I hart

The
girl putting on the show was a electronic noise music maker um the guy

it was sweat to get vegan food. We went to the beach it was beautiful !

like Wes Pac. Will hung out the window yelling go gatros at people and

booked us was realy nice and his band circus circus was sweat
January 10th

cal stayed there and me and will played with Bar with teeney punks both
shows every one loved us litarly at the house show we got 1000 comments
and at the bar every one was dancing in both places I got hit on… not
that that matters. I talked to this one girl who lived out the house
for a long time about community she was having the same problems I had
she was saying community was to her something wider it was actually
every one in the geographic area not just a group a friends it was neat
