We all woke up late at Rob's house in Eugene, had a late breakfast and got cleaned up. Rob Bean is going to be along for this next section of the tour to help out as a tour manager of sorts. It's really nice to have some help with merch, the venue and keeping the boys on schedule.
One of my favorite moments of the trip so far happened in Rob's living room in Eugene. I'm not sure when it happened - but at some point Jason and I thought it would be a good idea to prove our manliness in the oldest of competitions; a wrestling match. It ended up happening about 3 am last night - technically today. Jason's attributes include cat like reflexes and superior intellect but i had an advantage as i had about 50 pounds on him. We stopped after two draws because jason threw me into a storage container.
We drove up to Portland in the early afternoon to play at the Buffalo Gap. It was the smallest crowd we had had on the tour - we played for about 20 people but they were all into it and it proved to be a lot of fun. Sometimes its hard to get into the show if you arent feeling the energy from the audience but this energetic crowd gave us the power to rock the house. We played 3 sets. the first was an acoustic set with Jason on Sax and Eric on percussion. We played a lot of songs that we hadnt touched in a long while like Hold My Hand, Can't Find Love and Crazy Sexy Beautiful Wonderful.
We are crashed here tonight at Brian "Daz" Dezzani's here in Portland.
