Yamn Summer Tour 2011 Part2

Well hello again friends!
A couple of shows have past but here is a quick catchup-

Had a really fun show in Boise. Really high energy thanks to all the promotion effort of our friend Seth Brown. And got to hang out with some great friends and had a really fun show.

The next mourning we had a beautiful drive across Oregon to Bend. Played at a cool little brewery there. We had a very relaxing setup and played to a whole room of people that probably hadn't seen us before. Our buddy Gabe who books Juno What came out with some friends and we had a blast Then after the show an awesome random guy hooked us all up with free Chinese food and we all went to bed with full stomachs. Awesome!

The next mourning we woke up and drove up to Portland. We got to stop and kick it with our musical friends the Shook twins who we also spent last New-years with. We caught up with them for a while then rolled to the Mt Tabor Theater for setup. It was a good show. Some of you might have seen it because our buddy Jordan from Audio Globe streamed it live online (check it out at Audioglobe.com). Our friends Jesta (pronounced Yesta) opened the show and sounded great. The Mt Tabor is one of my favorite venues to run lights at on this NW tour and I personally had a really fun night.

We had to leave straight from the show to head to Bellingham WA for the Urban Music Festival. Bone killed it and drove all 6 hours there starting at like 3am. We had light load in at 11 that mourning because all the lights had to be up before music started on the outdoor stage for the day. We spent the rest of our day with some friends we had met at Mayan Holidaze and our friends Jesse, Kendra, Dan and Alicia and a bunch of others. The show went great and we had a great turnout! I would claim it as one of my best outdoor lightshows. Afterward we watched Acorn Projects set and then off to Barry with the and their whole crew......now let me preface by saying: Our good friend Chelsea made all of the Yamnily that went to Mayan Holidaze headresses to rock while we where in Mexico. Well this had such an impact on all of the Bellingham peeps that were there that when we got there they had all made their own headresses so the after party is a blur of colorful feathers, smiles, laughter, And Music. It was so far the funnest night of this tour for me....maybe even a little too much. T Bone and Jessica know what I mean:) All i can say is Don't swear in front of children at restaurants at 11am. Dan, Thanks for throwing the rager buddy! And finding my bag of dreams. Spent the next night at Jesse and Kendra's and got some much needed rest. Thanks for the hospitality guys :)

The next day we drove back to Portland and had a very lovely dinner with the Shook Twins. Then I met up with my old collage roomate Wirch and hung out for the night. The next day we all got togeather to watch the Mavs game. Good work guys. And we had a couple beers with Quamy for his birthday. 29 You old bro :)

Then this mourning we left Portland to drive to Crecent City CA to camp for the mourning. Almost hit a deer right past Eugene. Good dodge Quamy. And for now that's it. 3 more shows (Arcata, San Francisco, and Flagstaff AZ) and then back to the beautiful Colorado! You'll hear from me as we close this leg of tour out. Until then. Be good to yourselves and each other :)

First gig of Summer Tour 2011

Well hello there everybody out in Yamn Land! We all had a great time at our 4th Desert Rocks (as usual :). Great bands and had a great turnout for our set right after Chali 2na from Jurassic 5. Got to hang out with some friends from Equaleyes and MTHDS and I think we all had a fantastic time. Horrific wind storm Sunday. The green room almost blew over and had to be taken down and music was on side stages only because the main stage had to be closed for wind as well. We all spent the last two nights with our good friend Seth Brown in Boise. As of right now I'm done setting up lights tonight, Yamn is in the middle of sound check and the show starts in 45min. Ill let you all know tomorrow how it went as we drive to Bend, OR and I'll give you the Boise setlist. Until the......
