Portland is a strange place, its got a lot of homeless people and a big drug problem. I found it strange that there was entire families sleeping on the streets and 3 blocks away there is big fountains like this one.
Although after the show the fountain became a bathhouse for the homeless complete with 10 ft high suds from the bubble bath that they put into the water at the top of the fountain.
So, our day off was spent at the Jupiter hotel which is a very trendy bohemian hotel/motel, its a party place for sure. There is a nightstand on either side of the bed, one has a condom on it and the other has earplugs. Thank god for the earplugs is all i can say.
2 blocks from the hotel was a club called Outlaws Music Bar...here is theyre current show poster!! Take a look at the bottom left.
Yes, that is the same Vanilla Ice...scary eh!!
I have to say i did like the new billboard of the Oregon Beef Council!!
After the show it was onwards to Seattle to play the show that we post poned a week ago due to brandons throat problems. The show was really good and i think the audience appreciated the fact that the band chose to play the show when it would be a proper show rather than muddling through it a week earlier.
Earlier in the day we were allowed into the Qwest field football stadium to have a look around and get on the field for a kick about. Heres the team photo
The next day was spent mostly on the bus driving 14 hours to Sacramento, i spent most of this online watching random stuff on YouTube!! Here is 4 of my favourites....
After that the rest of the day off was spent relaxing by the pool in the heat before some dinner and drinks last night. So here we are now sitting on the bus outside the gig in Sacramento.
Only 3 more show to go then its off home for a week or so!!
