Another one of Bazan’s dirty novelty purchases from a Gas Station.

It’s essentially a tiny condom for your finger with three weird red  bumps on the tip.

Nikki wore it on her toe.

After we towed the bus to United Engines in Little Rock we rented a 12 passenger van and hired our buddy Brooks to drive his truck and trailer with our gear for the 4 days in between the Little Rock and Nashville shows. This was a typical scene.

Bazan kept buying all these funny novelty items when we’d stop for gas on our long haul from Memphis to Atlanta.

Manchester / Thrice: Day 1, Hour 1

Yesterday I flew out to Atlanta to meet up with Manchester Orchestra for their co-headlining tour with Thrice. Its gonna be 20 dates in three and a half weeks mostly B markets, a lot places I haven’t been to. This is my first tour in just over 4 months and I was starting to really feel the need for steady work. It was actually driving me a little nuts. So needless to say, I’m excited to get back on the road and do some work.

Tonight and tomorrow are both hometown shows for Manchester at the Variety Playhouse here in Atlanta. Tonight I’m super low on shirts and sizes. There was some miscommunication and the restock doesn’t come till tomorrow. It’s making things a little slow as I’m sure people are bummed that we only have Larges and XLs.

I got invited over for a late night BBQ at Tess and Daniel Davison’s house. There was even a special appearance by the guys in The Almost. The BBQ was legit too; insanely good ribs and wings courtesy of Aaron Gillespie.
