so here we go. im going to give you a quick recap of the last like...2 weeks.

so we have traveled from bend down to santa rosa. it was a 500 mile drive which took nearly 10 hours to drive. i have never in my life driven that long and by god it wasn't all to bad!! oh and got some sweet pics too. we played at the wells fargo center there and it was a really cool venue. the people there were really nice and super helpful. they did all they could to make it easy for us.
i had a rather large misshap with one of the lights but all turned out well in the end, thank

oh and the hotel that we stayed at was the nicest one i have ever have the privlage to stay in! and i even got my own room!! it had a king size bed, tile and marble, huge windows and everything was just soo awesome in it!! while we had some free time we found our way to a few pretty nice places. the first of which was the peanuts museum and gift shop.... a rather intresting place if you really like peanuts the comic... my boss loves it, well he love woodstock... dont ask.... the next place we found was the hotel bar. yummmmmmmmmmmmm
the shows went great. each time the show seems to change in one way or another... which is not soo good for us because we need it to be the same so we can actully light the damn thing.....
oh well.
next stop was San Rafeal.
ummm old school theatre really pretty very nice place... a lot of amatures. but great workers.
next up was chico. yes.. we went south just to drive back up north..... chico was a beautiful venue. its apart of a college and was just stunning! see pics.

the crew was wonderful again and there were two girls on at this venue that were just bunches of fun. and a few of the guys were so on the ball it was grand! always nice to have a venue of people close to my age that know whats up! we played 3 shows here and all went swimmingly.... though a VL started to act up.... *kicks the light* stupid thing....

next we went to arroyo grande, now this one is a little different... the venue is attached to a highschool. but doesn't belong to the high school.... it was built by a different group and is then gifted to the highschool. so it isn't a union house at all but the main guys there really know what they were doing. plus i got the chance to see people of my position when i was in high school just learning all this stuff......oh how things have changed for me! YAY~!
we stayed in pismo beach and well... it was wet. not to wet but wet none the less...

next stop was to santa barbara. not to far away just about 90 min from pismo beach where we were staying. got there just a little late but no matter all turned out well. the venue was amazing!! i think it was built in the 20's or something idk. but it was ooo pretty! and huge too! .
now comes the not so good part. some how one of our VLs went retarded, the hazor totally died, and two different items got cought on something when being flown out! this venue hated me! oh and i couldn't get a GPS signal at all to find some place to eat, and on top of all that i guess i forgot to put my card back into my camera so i took like 30 pics of this amazing place with NO memory card in my cam....... i was not to happy when i found that out.....
the crew was all union and was a total blast to work with! everyone was so much fun and when you have that much experiance in one house you will have a hard time not having fun... well as long as everyone is in a good mood.
and that night at like 11 pm we decided that we were going to lay the hammer down and drive for 2.5 hours to pomona where i am currently just so everyone would be nice and happy for a change..... oh and today. WE ARE HAPPY!!!! and tomorrow we are going to be REALLY REALLY happy!! hehehe because tomorrow is the chinese new year in american time! today was the new year for china, so they had a little dinner tonight but i think the big dinner will be happening tomorrow! YESS and i get to drink with the chinese... this should be a blast from the past. woot!

ok im done. hope you actully read it..... lol
untill next time. peace.

oh and i bought a new wireless mouse today... uber sexy!
