Columbia

We arrived in Bogota and were so surprised. The city and people are so warm and beautiful. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s has created a terrible vision of Columbia deep in my psyche. Its incredible how successfully the media creates our perspectives revolving around fearful attitudes. The more I travel I see it’s the best way to undo a lot of BS that we have learned.

The show was unreal. Small, inspired,and a great time. The mountain city of Bogota is full if life,culture and love. We were lucky to see it.

O yea, I almost forgot. Our shuttle van broke down on the way to the airport at 5am. We just made the flight.

Panama

Our original show was cancelled in Panama only two weeks ago but
Omar and Erik saved the day by putting a show together. It was small and fun.

The colorfully painted buses in Panama are great. They are privately owned buses that shuttle people around the city everywhere. They have some sick paintings on them too. We had a good day driving out to the small island off of the city before making our way to the gig. The gig was small but sweet, Off to Bogota

Costa Rica

We arrived early and were shuttled by some friendly faces to sleep at the hotel. The warm weather and sound of Spanish in the air dissolved pleasantly into our travel dazed selves. The show was packed and the vibe was great..The love and passion of Latin America is really living up to its reputation. There was not much difference between the party inside the club and the party on the street. The cops didn’t seem to mind this time.
..We only saw the city of San Jose. The beaches here are amazing and there are so many fun waves to ride out there but, the tour must go on. Off to Panama.

Mexico City

We checked out Mexico City today with our good friend and promoter, Chema, & his friend Sam. First we interviewed and played some songs we love on The Reactor 105.7fm radio with our new friend Ariadna. Thanks for having us. Then we had a few hours to run around the city and look at stuff. It's a beautiful place.

The city was beautiful and so was the food at the Vegetarian taco place..mmm. We found a few minutes to stop at the Frida Kahlo museum too before sound check. The show is in an amazing old church. There is something really satisfying about rocking in an old church..Right now I'm in the hotel gathering some more strength to rock as best I can. It's been a long 2 days and its not gonna end til the 8 shows are over. There are some extremely stoked kids lined all the way down the block. Vamos!

Honestly... I was just checking what I wrote above for typos and was about to send it and I just got a text message from our tour manager, Kate. Here is exactly what it says: "Can you wait to come back for another half hour or more? The show is sold out and there's almost a riot outside!" †Hasta Luego...
