Spokane, WA

Hey y’all…Fun day today. WhooWheee! I began the day by continuing work on my prototype for ROBOTTLE ROCKETS (very technical things, but I’ll keep you guys informed) Weird thing though…Today was the second day in history that Relient k had played within the state boundaries of Washington. BUT… Today was also the second day in history that Relient k played in a HOCKEY RINK within the state boundaries of Washington. Pretty CRAZY, eh? Now, I am kind of embarassed to admit this, but as some of you may know I am a Canadian citizen. (thats not the embarassing part). But I’m sure not a lot of you guys realize that I am a Canadian citizen that cannot ice skate. (thats the embarassing part). Canadians that can’t ice skate are about as rare as replicas of the empire state building made out of the stuff gummy worms are made out of. And I happen to be one of them. But, since we did play in a ho! ckey rink today, i decided that i would toss on some skates. But, being the trouble-making, attention-starved punk that i am, i broke into a locker room and swiped tons of hockey pads, and a helmet. I intentionally put them on entirely wrong (to gain a comical appearence to take away from the embarassing fact that i can’t ice skate), and took on the ice as a hockey

Seattle, WA

scott again. seattle is always fun, and the show at seattle pacific university was definately fun. it was packed and the crowd was intense especially for the supertones since they are recording a live cd – i can’t wait to hear it once its finished…. today we all ventured out at different times to explore! seattle. i know that dave was excited to find the big troll under the bridge that hold a vw bug that can be seen in the movie 10 things i hate about you. jerome (who plays for switchfoot) and i got to hang out with our good friend kara. she fixed us an amazing lunch and then took us all over town. i watched tug boat races and fire fighter boats shooting water really high. dinner was really good tonight. there was a chef that prepared incredible pasta dishes in front of you to your exact specifications. it was fun. after dinner… the matts, brian, tu-tone, joe and i decided to go to a cool record store and we barely made it back to the show on time, but at least we got to see the big troll too! oh yeah thanks to everyone at tooth and nail. matt hoopes and i scored a copy of the new starflyer 59 which is a really good thing. well now we are off to portland. i’m so excited, but i’m also ! sad because tomorrow is the last day of the tour… well then, we’ll just have to make it the best night of the tour! rock on. scott.

Portland, OR (LAST DAY OF TOUR!)

Well, well, well. What can you say about the last day of the best tour ever? The show was really a blast tonight. I think almost everyone on the entire tour stormed the stage on our last song tonight. Some guys snagged the super t’s trombone and trumpet and played terribly into the mics. We had fellas running all over the place, and it made me realize that i wish we had that kind of chaos for a finale every night. We did the same stage-rush thing for the supertones’ last number. Brian Pittman crowd surfed for the first time (i know, its sad). and I jumped into the crowd twice. A robot lit himself on fire and then mailed himself to the White House. Ethan (the guitarist for the super t’s) played his thrash solo with me on his shoulders, and I almost fell off and ate some serious stage. i came out and did some harmony on a Switchfoot song (which has actually been a little dream of mine for some time). ! All in all, it was a really fun night (for the bands especially). I have been saying it the whole tour, and i still believe that the 20 some people that were on the Loud and Clear Dance
