back from austin

4 shows, 3 days. this was the last photo i took before the camera battery died at our last show. some kids set up a show at their house, outside (bad idea), and the cops showed up right as thee ohsees finished a smoking set. i finally tracked down one of the dudes who lived at the house and asked about setting up inside, and he said "let me ask my 4 other roomates", which means "no". me, woodhouse and a nice dude from the crowd said fuck that and moved the p.a. and all our equipment into the house in less than 10 minutes, crammed the 100 plus people into the living room/kitchen/stairwell, then took this photo before people went crackers and the place was trashed. oops. an epic end to a epic weekend. more to come.

grrrrrrrr!

they're called growlers. we picked these two up on the way back from orr hot springs. russian river brewing company has happy hour all day sunday (includes belgian-style ales) which would be a crippling disadvantage to living in santa rosa (aside from the giant shorts and adult sized "sketchers").

The Road to Paradise is Paved With....

Amazing beer, of course! The only way to get through a five hour drive to a remote North Coast hot spring is to stop for a little lambic and a growler to go.

North Coast Onsen

Misty mountains, warm water, spring blooms and clean air. This is pretty much heaven on earth.
