- view from the hotel in san antonio.
I found out that TREOS was playing Sunday night here, so I called Andrew and trekked 2 miles through the sketchy part of San Antonio:
they were playing at the White Rabbit:
I made some new friends immediately, because they thought I went to school with them. They discovered I was from out of state and had a camera, and started getting all friendly; asked if I wanted beer and stuff. They were stoned and sketchy, but funny:
then I hung out for a bit, checked out Days Away (who were awesome as usual), then TREOS played and I got these before nearly passing out:
nate: "ohh snap"
Circa Survive played after, but I was less than impressed. Hung out with Gabi (not sketchy beer girl) and Andrew instead. Gabi's friend Scott may wind up playing for TREOS, which is funny, because he had never heard them before the show. He just happened to meet them, and Gabi mentioned that he plays guitar, sings, and plays piano. Talk about being at the right place at the right time.
Andrew introduced me to Tim, the drummer for Days Away, and told him that I can hook him up with a Vater endorsement. Tim was psyched to hear this. Tim is fucking SICK at drums, so I really hope I can make that happen.
Gabi gave me a lift home from the show, which was awesome because I probably would have been stabbed if I had to walk.
Now I remember why I never update this. Too much to say. This has just covered one day, and its way too long.
Oh, Jeff and I are working on www.refinedpirates.com. Its an active page, go register in our forums and talk smack about stuff. Not too much is on there yet, but it will be running as soon as we have the time to code everything.
Sometimes my brain hurts.
A woman fell 12 stories to her death at our hotel here two days ago. Weird shit. I've walked over where she landed a couple times since. It hasnt been publicized because it happened really early sunday morning and they covered it up ASAP. Chad from Premier saw it when he went out for a run at 4:30am, and by the time he returned, the body was moved and they were powerwashing the blood into the San Antonio River.
