Goodbye DC...hello Chicago...

Soooo....I know we slacked on the blog the last couple of months of the band's existence -- but since this may be our last tour together, we figured it might be fun to keep all our friends in the loop with the goings on of our 2-week Philippine Tour :)

After a last-minute b-day shindig at FLY Lounge last night, we somehow managed to make it to the airport on time. With the exception of former Attorney General John Ashcroft (only a political geek like Cal would know that - the rest of us wouldn't have recognized him from Ronald McDonald) being on our flight, the first leg of the trip was pretty uneventful. Butch was snoring and trying to take Derek's seat (Derek sat next to a young "oriental female" - Butch's favorite).

There was a HUGE welcoming party for a soldier who was returning back from the war which was pretty touching - his entire family was there, along with a large entourage of soldiers, airport workers & USO folk. Pretty cool thing to witness :)

Oh, and Derek bought himself a berry yogurt parfait. We would expect nothing less from him.

Next stop, Tokyo...

Our first video blog!

We've way overdue for an update here - the past couple weekends of shows have been pretty brutal, but we'll get some pics and vids posted soon.

But for now... we'd like to present our first of MANY video blogs! This is episode #1 titled "Cigarette Toss" and it happened just last night... and given the unbelievable nature we had to get it edited and posted immediately. Seriously - this was the first attempt, and we're just lucky the camera was rolling!

Enjoy... and check back for some pics / vids from the previous weekends shows as well as some more video blogs!
