I left last Sunday for Portland Oregon to begin a month long tour with Hawk Nelson.  I’m working on the tech production crew for the Mercy Me/Jeremy Camp/Hawk Nelson/Tenth Avenue North/Addison Road tour.  I’ve been having a blast! These guys are amazing! Im loving the West Coast!  The day I got in I went right to work.  The next three days we had off in Albany Oregon.  We drove out to the west coast and spent a day touring lighthouses and site seeing, taking in the fresh ocean air and eating at “The Chowder-Bowl”  downtown.   This was a harbor on the coast where all the fish boats docked and unloaded all their catches from the day.  Smelled pretty bad…tasted real good! Had some of the best clam chowder of my life!  I’ve been trying to  upload videos that I’ve been taking but I haven’t had a real solid internet connection.  I will say that it is amazing to travel in a bus that has satellite television and wireless internet at all times! not to mention, its strange going to sleep in a bed in one state and waking up in a completely different state 700 miles away.

 

Hawk played a show last night in Fresno California.  All went well! We finished up the show and made our way to Deny’s for a midnight grand slam! What a blessing! Had a pretty interesting evening to say the least.  I’ll just say that Jason Dunn has special powers.  Super hero special powers! I don’t know how he does it but he can make any situation seemingly awkward but unbelievably glorious at the same moment!  

We headed up to Santa Monica for our day off today.  I took a quick tour of the TOMS headquarters.  Pretty awesome place! Open work atmosphere with a really cool vibe! I got to meet the owner!  I heard a rumor that he is dating a certain character from Lost.  Don’t know if its true and I don’t want to spread rumors (cause you all know how many people read my blog!)  Ty…call me! I miss you!

 Hawk played a show the other night in Vegas.  I’ve been there before but never had a change to walk down the strip.  It was pretty incredible! Don’t know how I feel about that town.  Our bus is hurting for a fixin so we are actually heading back to vegas tomorrow to get it fixed.  We have a day off there.  I’m planning to hide my wallet from myself so that I don’t do anything stupid in an attempt to get rich quick.  My mom taught me right! 

I know I haven’t done a great job updating this blog.  I honestly have good intentions and I hope to keep you all a little more updated while I’m away.  Give me a call anytime you like.  My new number is 615-554-6315.  

 

P.S.  I’m watching Royal Tenenbaums.  Funny!
