So since I have updated I have been to Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and I am now in California. It was quite a drive through the desert and mountains to get here. Very long drives on "the ten" and so forth. Saw Chaz's friend's band in Tucson, partied there. New Mexico is beautiful. Participated in a tourist trap and got robbed of a dollar. Oh and least I not forget my mother's trip to Kansas City where she became the hot commodity on my tour. Everyone loves her wants her to return visit. And she got drunk at the casino and danced with everyone.

The Saints and Kentucky
So we spent the weekend in St Louis. Which was okay, saw Assassins which I was not a fan of at all. Circled around the arch as it was impossible to fucking get to. Been in Kentucky since yesterday. Went to a natural bridge it was beautiful. I got all decked out for St. Patty's. Nothing much else here, going to Louisville tomorrow. Want to tour the factory! And mom's coming Friday!

Recovery
Well I'm finally feeling better. I didn't get to experience Houston because I was very sick. Upper respiratory infection and I had to get my stomach pumped, not fun. That's it I'm kicking the habit no more black tar heroin I don't want to OD and go through that ordeal again....just kidding mom. No but seriously one of the worst, most disgusting experiences of my life. And my stomach still isn't happy. It is not used to having food in it again, so it is upset by the stupidest things. Houston was good met Wino's family who are awesome. Love his dad who gave me a giant bear hug, also got to meet his friends which was great also. Well we are in Dallas now, thought maybe I could reconnect with an old college friend, but so far no dice.

Goodbye Sweet Nawlins
Well our time in Nawlins has sadly come to an end. Partied on Bourbon St, ate alligator and crawfish. Which were very interesting. Got to see Ravayna which was awesome. Had the most delicious oysters I have ever had in my life. Yes I did a lot of eating. But it was also sad and interesting to see a city still devestated after two years. When I think back to 9/11, I guess I was far enough removed from the city that I didn't have to face it everyday. But driving around and seeing the destruction and spray painted symbols still on the houses is a constant reminder. Talking to Vay was good too, getting an inside prespective of what really happened. My heart goes out to the residents of New Orleans, thank you for letting me share your beautiful city and still having such a positive and welcoming nature.

Memphis and Nawlins
So I went to Graceland, it was pretty cool. Partied in Memphis as well. (check) Now we are in Nawlins for 6 days which is amazing. Have been to Bourbon Street every night since Thursday which is hitting my bank account pretty hard, but when am I going to come back to Nawlins? I have had my first poboys, I'm ready to eat crawfish like a local. Today we walked around the French Quarter, from the Riverfront to passed Bourbon. Went and got my cards read, which was a lot better this time than I have gone before. This guy hit some things pretty right on about my past and me in general. Don't know about if the future stuff ill come true but I'm not going to be paranoid about it. Oh and we got some Beignets, as you can see by my pictures.

Greetings from Nashville Y'all
So Things are better for the weekend. I mean not fantastic. We went into Nashville yesterday and partied from 6:00-1:30. Wino and I went to the Grand Ole Opry and it was so nice for just the two of us to get away for a bit. Nashville was so much fun, we went to some awesome bars, some cheap beer. Also I got to tear it up with the locals country swing dancing with Andy. It was such a good time and it makes it worth it to hang out on the weekend and let go.

Short Week of Hell
It is becoming apparent that there are three people I could definitely do without on this tour. That just drive me up the fucking wall. And my migraines are acting up. Fantastic. Today was a shitty day, the lights went to crap. I feel like I'm losing contact with the company. I don't know, I haven't been doing anything different this tour though.
