Woke up this morning still kinda spinning, but I didn’t feel as nauseous anymore. I woke up inside a beautiful cabin, with the sun shining through 3 huge windows on near the ceiling, exposing a view of the hillside. I crawled out of my sleeping bag as matty from unholy and David were waking up. They asked how I was feeling, but I was more worried about matty, because he slept in an upright easy chair all night that we later found out could recline! Haha. One by one people, people started creeping out of their rooms and hanging out in the living room. It was nice just talking and hanging out, and the cabin’s homeowner made us a delicious breakfast! I felt way better after food and medicine, and it seemed the worst was behind me. Paul is still determined to get me shit faced, but it’s not happening haha. Everyone got clean up a bit, and around 1pm we were packed up and ready to head toward kingman. To the people that let us stay at your cabin, thank you so much!
We made a grocery stop at walmart, and as we were waiting outside the store for everyone to come out, we almost witnessed an old people fight! This old lady was driving and stopped in the crosswalk for no reason. The guys behind her was not havin it, and he started honking. He honked 2 or 3 more times before he rolled down his window and was like “you’re holding up traffic!” The lady responded by opening her door all the way, leaning out and yelled, “shut up!” It was pretty hilarious to watch them go at it. I hope they ran into each other in the prunes aisle and got a chance to duke it out for real! After walmart we went to lynx lake to hang out for a bit, and that was a lot of fun! The weather was so nice, and we skipped rocks and enjoyed the view. This is a really fun tour package. Everyone gets along really well and we have a good time! After an hour or so, if was finally time to start heading toward kingman.
After a long drive, a nice nap, and a meal, we pulled into the fraternal order of the eagles, which is like a veterans community center. We were playing in what looked like the multipurpose room haha, and we started unloading all of our gear into a corner of the room. The lights turned down, and people started filling in! Mike baby girl, Nate from singularity and i had our practice stations set up outside the venue, and had a little warmup session talked drums for a bit. Both are super cool dudes, and insanely talented drummers. I went inside to watch unholy monarch play, and the energy was CRAZY. The crowd was going fucking apeshit and were totally digging the music. Outside the building, I was hanging by my drums again and i met this man, Gary. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We talked for a bit and he shared some pretty deep personal stuff, but it was nice talking to him and eventually it was time to warm up and get ready for the show. We started setting up on stage, and got the crowd to come closer and rage with us. The show was fun tonight. Crowd was digging it, but it was one of the sketchiest shows we’ve played in while. We were not locking in and it was almost falling apart until we finally got it together, but it was really hard to hear. After the show, we tore down and mingled with some of the fans, and signed a few shirts. One little kid was repping a warhead shirt, and was running around the venue having a blast haha. I saw Gary again afterwards, and he just gave me a huge hug haha. I know it sounds weird, but I truly enjoy when people are so moved by what we do. Right as the last band was playing, this dude started raging in the pit too hard, and apparently made some nazi signs, and got kicked the fuck out haha. Only problem was he wouldn’t leave. I went outside and he was fighting with one if the employees about being kicked out. Eventually there like 8 people surrounding this guys telling him to leave. Everyone was trying to brawl, but Nolan stepped in and was just telling to the dude to calmly go home. After a ton of talking, he finally left haha. We packed up the trailer, and headed to Dalton’s from oppressor god, and they had pizza and brownies waiting for us! We hung out for a bit, and I was so tired that I went to crash in the van. Today was a good day, and we play Las Vegas next! Get ready!!
