I just got back from about two weeks on the west coast. It was AMAZING.
Played a show in LA, visited sam, kinsey and dessa, climbed a mountain, went to Beverly Hills (BIG :) ), met a ton of new friends from France, London, Japan and Germany, saw all the Hollywood sites, saw Jaws on the big screen!, went to the beach, saw skateboarding dogs - so much fun!
Then I took a train to Portland, OR to visit Jamie and Jourdan! 30 hours! 30 BEAUTIFUL hours. that ride FLEW by. There was not one mile of it that was not the most beautiful mile I had ever seen. I highly suggest that train ride to anyone thinking about it, its Amtrack, really comphy and good food. theres an archade and cafe and wine tastings and all this fun stuff, but you dont really need it cause theres so much to look at its great. got a lot of writing/thinking done :)
Then when I hit Portland it was time to see Jamie and Jourdan! Luckly Andrew was out there on busniess at the same time so I had him and Matt to hang out with while the gals were at work. We went to some really cool bars, my favorite was called something like, the Doug Fur. This really sheek log cabin place, with a venue downstairs. it was cool. we also went to the famous VOODOO DOUGHNUT! it was so good! I got a vegan maple! I dont normally like doughnuts I feel like they just taste too fatty so I tried a vegan one and it was JUST right. I took a photo of the line outside it, it was like, down the street outside the place people all waiting for their voodoo!
Then we went to a GREAT hip hop show. The Sand people, the group Jourdans bf Phil is in, did some side project stuff there with some other artists. it was sick. I was so happy :)
Then we had a great lazy day, it rained so I basically stayed on the folded out futon all day and jourdan came home early and we sat around eating tacos and playing with the cat all day till jamie got home, and we did more of the same till bed. it was the nicest day though ahha I love being lazy sometimes.
the last day was great I got to see jamies new church which was awesome, and then get some really good vegan lunch at this awesome resturant with suchhh fresh veggies it was so good! then we hit the sat market and got spoon rings! kate has one too - now we're spoon sisters!! haaah. then we went to the kennedy school. this old huge school that was converted into a ton of bars and a movie theater and hotel it was so cool! there is really fun art everywhere and you can bar hop within a school , walk around with drinks haha its so weird and awesome, and really beautiful inside!
so then I stayed up the whole night and took two planes home. stopped in salt lake city utah and that was BEAUTIFUL. the airport is surrounded it HUGE snow capped mountains it was awesome :)
hah then I went straight to work from Logan Airport and worked till 2 am and then again the next day - so yea Im tiiiiiird.
so yea thats the trip in a nutshell. Hope you all were doing great here!
Ill more than likely through some pics up cause Im silly like that.
