Day 31 Tokyo pt 2

Today, we took the train to Shibuya. Found this AMAZING wagyu place. It was unreal. Our server, Keith, went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. So many different cuts of meat, and they were all fantastic. Feels so…

Day 30 Tokyo pt 1

Woke up in Tokyo. I’ve been dreaming of this since I was here last time, 19 years ago! Had a shower. Then we (me, Tom, Stephen) went for a walk. To explore. And find something to eat. Found this amazing…

Day 29 Travel Day

Had a bit of a ”going away” party yesterday on our bus. All of Hammerfall and some of their crew hung out and had some beers. It was a great end to a great (and challenging) tour.  Flying to Japan…

Day 28 Seattle

Terrible nightmares. Just…terrible. After yesterday, I’m not surprised. It’s shocking, no matter how ”prepared” you are. So, not the best start to the day.  Me and Tom went for a walk and ended up in the Pike Place Market, by…

Day 27 Vancouver

Day started with border control into Canada. Went smoothly. Driving into Vancouver. Beautiful weather, beautiful city.  And then you enter…Zombieland.  It’s difficult to describe the level of homelessness and open drug use. People sitting on the street, right outside the…

Day 26 Portland

We were parked at an RV parking overnight.  Made coffee and a sandwich. Waiting to go to the venue. Signed a ton of cds and vinyls.  Walked around the block a bit. Beautiful area, but jeez, the homeless situation is…

Day 25 Travel Day

Sitting on the bus all day, looking at the world passing by outside. Trying to get stuff done, but can’t concentrate. Went back to bed to lie on the tennis ball. Fell asleep.  Woke up in Portland.  Heather, Tom, Chris…

Day 24 San Jose

Woke up feeling great for the first time in a while, except for the fact that my lower back is killing me. Made coffee and a sandwich on the bus. Went for a walk to see if movement would make…

Day 23 San Juan Capistrano

We were parked at the beach when I woke up. Beautiful. Had some yesterday-pizza for breakfast. Took a stroll to the beach. Again, crazy hot today. Couldn’t be there more than 10 minutes. Ahh, the AC of the bus.  Me…

Day 22 Los Angeles

Insanely hot here today. Had a coffee with Tom and Heather today. Then me and Stephen went to Guitar Center. Slightly underwhelming. I mean, they had some really nice guitars, but…I don’t know. Maybe I’ve just lost interest.  Had dinner…
