Reporter Girl, you say that Raven's brothers both served successful missions for your church? This web blog belongs to Raven's younger brother Derek. It is recent (this past month) "Lucy you got some splaining to do." Seriously, this does not sound like any mormon missionary I have ever had contact with. Maybe you should recheck your facts.
O Discordia Tour day-by-day update
January 5th- over fields of grain and low stumbling block boulders and red brick canyons we found ourselves in St George sun bathed by cool north breezes and playing music in Grampa's basement to a smiling crowd and whiskey and cokes. Found a couch to sleep on, a shower to use, and a tree fort in the backyard to smoke spliff's out of and contemplate love and Hitler. So far so good, viva la O Discordia!
january 10th- ah Tucson was a dream, great little town, we stayed in a camper and nearly froze to death, then the next night stayed with some anarcho-comunist kids, ate vegan food and played for them around a bonfire, then back on the road, seeing america through a bus window is hard work. things are going good, havent made much money but we've been drowning in adventure, the border patrol arrested me for having pot, their dog sniffed it out, they were cool though, they dropped the charges and let me go, and drove me to town, tom stayed on the bus and pretended not to know me, i met up with him later in san diego, heh, adventures. tomarrow we head for portland...
Jan 12th- found a place to crash last night in Portland, met some cool kids, got horribly drunk and high, ate shrooms, did a great interview on the Portland State college radio station, got pb&j sandwiches and whiskey for the road, yaaaaaa, tomarrow we play in Olympia WA.
Jan 13th- our show last night was great, we had a whole venue of kids stomping and clapping and completely drowning tom and i out, it was a great show, we then partied with the kids, and found a couch to crash on, ah glory! that was olympia.
Jan ?- forgot the date, maybe the 15th, slept in SLC for the night, played a house show in Wyoming the next day, made bank but damn it was cold, heading east now
Jan 17th- played in Omaha at ted & wallys, good show, drunken after party, i personally had a great time in Nebraska, in fact i'm going back to couch surf and play music sometime, yaaaaa.
Jan 19th- played in st louis, show at the jazz & blues bar, good show but my god the after party was in an abandoned apartment and those kids were crazy! binge drinking i-hate-you-dad kids, we bought two cases of forties, tom got coke in the kitchen, i got free shrooms, we smoked a blunt and slept on cigarette butts, ugh i'm still recovering.
Jan 20th- cancled the Chicago show, it was snowing, and our bus was late, sorry Chicago, off to NYC!
Jan ?- spent the night walking around the bowery and china town, couldn't contact anyone, froze to death in shina town at 5am, finally slept for an hour in the bus station before the security kicked us out,
Jan ?- played in upstate NY in white plains, good anarchist house show, young kids though and it was hard to find a place to crash until angel kelly convinced her grandparents that we were her old camp counslers on our way to england(?), heh got fed, alot, score!
the next day- met with some friends, smoked pot in central park, drank alot (but couldn't get drunk, it's frustrating) found a place to sleep, had to sneak in though so her parents wouldn't know we were there, ugh i hope we don't end up in prison after this whole fiasco, eh.
Jan 24- we played at Bubbys in Brooklynn, had free drinks, got drunk well before the show and stumbled through a set, we smoked a blunt under a playground and walked across the brooklynn bridge in the rain, slept in a basement in Tribeca, ah finally New York treated us well, onto a bus, off to Virginia, got on the wrong bus, ugh now we're stranded the whole night in Richmond, yaaaaaa.
Jan 24(continued)- hah so funny story, we snuck into a Holiday Inn in Richmond virginia, 10pm, got some forties, checked our emails in their office and squatted in an empty banquet room smoking and drinking, it was great, until 3 hours later they found us, we played innocent dumb and they kicked us out, the rest of the night was spent sleeping at the bus station.
Jan 25- Virginia Beach VA is cold, a biting wind tearing at our flesh we went into hotels looking for a continental breakfast, no such luck, so no where to go, no couch to sleep on tonight, we wander like lost bedouins lookinf for food and warmth,
