Life and kids.

Pocatello and loving it.

We recently jumped on tour with our good friends Shiny Toy Guns.  After making a couple routine stops in the Pacific NW (we love Portland), we made our way over to we've come to know as the state of Idaho.  Boise is a great stop, but isn't in our itinerary this journey around the country.  Not to worry, Idaho decided to offer us a pleasant surprise with the fourth-largest city in the state, and I can't fail to mention, a city that made it against the law to "look sad."  Luckily, sad was the last thing we felt during our stint in Pocatello.  Next door to the brand new venue, The Icon, we had the privilege to join the locals at their favorite roadhouse in town, the "Hi-Ho."  This became the venue for the video below, and for my viewing of the Presidential debates that took place in Oxford, MS last night.  Across the street, we found a gem of a pawn shop as well.  We ended up selling most of our gear and purchased semi-automatic handguns, except Alex bought a super nintendo and some subs.  Until next time, enjoy these videos while we here in Jonezetta question John McCain's "proposed" age and discuss our excitement about Oliver Stone's new movie "W".    

Straylight Run...or walk.

Hello america.  

Meg & Dia, check.  Great band, great people, great tour, thanks Meg, Dia, Carlo, Jon, and Nick! We love you.  Thanks for all that came out.  

We start our tour with Straylight Run tomorrow in Baltimore, MD.  We've been looking forward to this tour awhile, should be one for the books.  

We're here in Akron, we played at Musica tonight (we love this place.  thanks sound guy jim).  Tyler, Ty, and I were trying to figure out what every state's nickname is.  This, as well as a number of other spellbinding games, is just one way we like to pass time on the road.  

Mississippi = The "Hospitality" State

Alabama = The "Yellow Hammer" State  (can somebody explain this one?)

Montana = The "Treasure" State

Texas = The "Lone Star" State 

Nevada = The "Silver" State

I could keep going.  Next time we're in your state, you should quiz us, we'd be delighted to put our knowledge to the test.  While you think of your state's nicknames, enjoy this little video:

Wawa: The Gas Station (but not quite Sheetz)

Graffiti

It's hot in August.  Understandably.  We here at Jonezetta LLC have decided that we make this the month that we put the shovel to ground and start playing some shows around this little country of ours.  With the heat in mind,  Robert and I have been telling Ty for a long time that

 he would look solid in a Shaved Head.   So at a Days Inn in Ocala, FL, we did just that.

Augusta, GA

Venue: Comparable to a youth center on speed with graffiti and "No kicking people in the face" signs.  The long, concrete hall had a small backstage area with a backdoor that led to the van parking vicinity.  As Tyler was about to start unloading gear from our trailer, he noticed a cell phone that had been left in the grass.  He picked it up and tried calling a few numbers to get it back to it's owner.  The guy who lost his phone was no where to be found, but his brother was.  A man with a neon basketball jersey showed up to claim the phone.  After he grabbed it, he began looking in the grass for other things.  "My brother got mugged by two guys out here last night.  They popped up from these bushes and hit him over the head with a pipe...stole his wallet, glasses, everything.  Ya'll haven't seen any reading glasses out here have you?"
