i left my heart in salt lake city

portland is sort of a blur because i was so wiped out from the long drive from the bay area. yes, i drove the whole way by myself. yes, i am bad ass.

our big outing the next day was a walk across the bridge to whole foods. funny, i feel like i was just here.

heed the sign and remember to LOVE, people...

what is the deal with people and their wacky cars in seattle? this is like, the third one i saw.

it is a well known fact that touring bands are in general, poor and desperate for a decent place to sleep. what is lesser known (or applauded) is that it is usually the kindness of strangers that gets you around. the kindness of girls mostly. it's unfortunate that the term "groupie" is so associated with slutty girls waiting backstage and offering up sexual favors because i'm not sure what to call these kind souls who open their doors, feed, drink and sleep us. saints? welcome wagoneers? i wish i had some photos of the lovely ladies who put us up in seattle. big love and big thanks!

the battery in our van keeps dying and everyday i get up an hour early in case we need (another) jump. this is all our fault most likely. our van is so tricked out with gadgets we can't even figure out what's draining the battery. here's jc at the mechanic's who told us everything would be a-ok if we could remember to not leave all our shit (ipod, cell phone, gps) plugged in overnight.

pretty much everyday, bob and i try to find a cute dog. we found this one in a parking lot outside starbucks in twin falls, id.

p.s. bob takes pictures of dogs incessantly and you can see them on itookthisonmyphone.com , this genius site where you can send all yr pics from your blackberry. which is so smart, i mean, it's in your hand ALL THE TIME right? here are a few of bob's pics, he's already doing a much better job of documenting this trip than i am but i'll be all set up with my own itookthisonmyphone.com pretty soon.

another day, another dog. i think this one is from SLC.

me & JC in seattle

for the record, salt lake city is really far from seattle. we were relieved to just BE somewhere. we weren't prepared for the bonus: everyone in SLC is gorgeous. i'm not exaggerating. again, i should have taken photos to prove i met 4 out of my next 5 husbands that night.

these liquour laws look mormon to me

there's that poster again

black angels rock. look at the photo close and you will see that christian is totally see-thru he is moving so fast.

trust me NO ONE is having fun over here in L.A. Unless fun is sleeping on cat hair sheets with dirty plate of food in your bed and layers of magazine and clothes. Then I'm rolling in the fun. I post blogs so that the "illusion" of a tidy fun time is happening. Just hurry home before I go crazy. I finally have money and no one to shop with for useless items. P.s. thought of you today in a parking garage in Venice, saw a strange hair cluster like the one you have on your blog. Except this one looked like Yosemite Sam's moustache ouch.

you forget to mention that you haven't seen your dear friend jessie in a million years and how hard it was for you to be so close.... yet so far.
hope to see you before we're 40 lady.. for reals
