STREET BY STREET, BLOCK BY BLOCK.

The other day i was cleaning out an old e-mail account of mine that i still get mail on every once in a while...and in the old inbox was something that really coulght my eye....here is that e-mail in its entirety

Earch Crisis May 5th

From: Scott Crouse
To: nerdriot@hotmail.com
Subject: Earth Crisis May 5
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 18:51:12 -0400

Hey, my name is Scott Crouse and I play guitar in a band called Earth
Crisis. We are playing in Ventura on May 5 and are in need of a sound guy.
Would you be available/interested in possibly doing sound for us. We are
playing at the Majestic Ventura Theater and it should be a pretty full
house. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks.


WOW this blew my mind i had to re read it about 6 times to make sure that it was real and even then i didn't really think it was true...first of all didn't earth crisis break up like forever ago, and secondly HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET AHOLD OF ME???

So my next step was to search the internet for some validity to this claim of Earth Crisis playing a show...so i checked the myspace....which had not been updated in a few years...next i checked the victory records website...again nothing....so finally i checked out the venues website....and there it was the truth that indeed the mighty Earth Crisis was coming back, reuniting to bring a firestorm to purify the greater southern California area of all non straight egde vegans!!!!

Once again i still have no idea how they found my but i figure it could be on of two things that led them in my direction....one i am vegan and have been for almost eight years, or two they somehow found out that i just quit smoking....either way my mind was totally blown...

here is a couple shots of the best dude ever.

.Moving Forward.

The next stop on our trip was the Tu Tuten Lodge in Gold Coast Oregon... so there really isn't much in Gold Coast Oregon, or anywhere around Gold Coast either...that was probably why it was so amazing ... cold, lush everything...great for walks in nature.

Time to keep moving...sometime down the highway we came across a huge tree park...

They wanted you to pay something crazy like $15 to walk in and check out the trees...we called bullshit and hoped the fence..
