How the burritos curse began

Clément just started a tour report with pictures, so i'm done with pictures and you can check them out here.
Many cars got towed yesterday night in riverside, actually they have private towing companies and their goal is to make huge benefit, I might have seen towing car passing by soething like 6 times during the night... No comment.
We forgot about the idea of going to the record store cause being stuck in traffic in L.A. is something no one would like to experience!
The heat is still, and there is no other way than endeavour it! We're driving through the desert, passing by big trucks, huge pick ups carrying more huge caravans, huge camping cars carrying cars!! Just think about the gas it represents... And there you don't buy a liter of gas but gallons!
We stopped by gas station that plays M. Jackson music videos... Laaame, it's all about Bamby at that time! We all got snacks and sugar drinks, we're even asked where we're from... and then we're going by seaside, beautiful... Forest and then the coast and then suddenly the fog and it's cold!!! We're told it's because of the Gulf stream and the mountains... We're slowly reaching Santa Barbara, actually Isla Vista which is like a campus town for Santa Barbara... Easy most of the people living here are students so it looks like a huge summer camp, or community... This is a house show and we found the house quite easily, a crusty house in a summer camp, a collective vegetables garden and a hip hop dude with a chihuahua, that's awesome!
While people from the house are moving out furnitures ans stuff we go to the food cop... Damn this is like being a hippy but cool at the same regarding the tons of vegan stuff you can get there! Outside you can get clothes for free... Tito found a very acceptable pair of vans of his size!
There was also a Christian Death shirt and i could certify for sure it belonged before to someone from the Pink Mailbox(that's the name of the house we're playing tonight)!
Once we're back there some started to cook burritos, again... Thanks to Nicolas and I we got beers!
I started to chat with René , about love and other relationships but dealing with feelings, about being involved in a couple and how it can affect our sexuality, the importance sex can have into that relationship... The idea of the ideal, which could be basis of norms for relationships... At that time others were skateboarding: there was a little ramp haha!

Los Angeles


From San diego to Los Angeles we mostly went through what is desert for us! I think i've never experienced such a heat!
The dirve went good, and my eye started to bleed so it got less fat!
The city of Los Angeles is big, but we did not get lost and found the Boulevard Café easily... sort of a good venue, like a club, a big stage, we're asked to show ID...
I decide not to play tonight, some friends try to learn lyrics but it's a bit hard in one hour...
Rogue State starts first, still very good! Then it's like a joke, something like 5 times the same band with same members... sometimes it's hard to wait... Fortunatly Gwen and Caro show up, they're on vacation on West Coast, so much fun! And they got their car towed!!
So it's our turn and i'm watching my band playing, strange! The sound is awful but people seem to like it!
Then maladie played two songs cause no more time for tonight!! End of the joke!
Thanks to my eye i got respect from gangsta like bartenders!
We go to Brent's house, there they cooked us burritos, we can enjoy weed american style or play dominos, i decide to read a book and I would kill for a beer!
We're not really in LA, we're in Riverside and night is cool till a huge guy appears, he seems to be very drunk! We're on the porch and then he yells at us asking for a party
and he knocks at the door... Actually he's a friend of Brent!
Too much for me i go back to my book and everyone seems to fall asleep!
I woke up early so i enjoy the bathroom and left some blood there, terrific!
I can't remember if we had breakfast or not, we're planning to go in a record store!
Hugs and we're back in the van, direction Santa Barbara!
We got lost leaving LA, damn this city is huge!
