Last night was such a fun show @Rocky's Place. All the bands were a ton of fun and it went from 8:00pm to 2:30am. At midnight the cops showed up to turn the party off, because the show was happening in a residential area (next to an apartment complex) so we moved the party to Hood Ride which is this pretty cool place over on 5th St. and Roosevelt Rd. in downtown Phoenix that fixes up old bikes. The night started with a fun/silly performance by Ray Reeves and the Phoenix $uns and then Fathers Day played and tore the place up, trying to build hope in the hearts of young americans everywhere. After the Fathers Day set I headed down the street to Circle K to get some water (since the only drinks available at the house was beer) and i missed Bolt! but i heard them from outside the Circle K and they sounded awesome as always. Painkiller played a very joyful set that was more background music than anything but people still enjoyed it. Skinwalkers played a short 20 minute set that got everyone going crazy and having fun! and I think they are my new favorite local band, because the vibes and energy and music and show...everything is just so positive and fun. And if you haven't checked them out yet. You should. This is when the cops showed up and turned the party off. But only for a moment. Because soon everyone was over at hoodride enjoying The Hooves, who were fun. (lots of sleazy shuffle beats and sing along) And then the moment i know i was waiting for finally came but it almost became a disaster. Treasure Mammal showed up to play another one of his life changing performances and the people at Hood Ride (i think it was them but i am still unsure) turned off the PA system. All hope was about to be lost until Abe (T. Mammal) said "fuck it! let's party anyway!" and had the crowd join him in a two song accapella jam. Then some guy jumped on drums and started playing a beat very similar to "the Bambi Jam" so Andrew, Tristan and I got the bambi jam started with a handful of people, which later turned into "poop song #1". It all ended very abruptly and we all went home with smiles on our faces.

Picture
​Thursday night i got into LAX and then went to the first screening of the film and brodie hubbard was there.
Picture
and i met alisha rose (stephen rose's wife) for the first time. and we kept telling people we were friends on facebook so that means we are friends in real life. she is a real sweetheart.
kirby hayborn was there too. he is that guy from all those really awful "mormon" comedys like "the RM" and "singles ward" he told me the movie was really inspiring and awesome. and i could tell he was sincere
Picture
friday night was the art show/party thing. and i sold a bunch of art. here i am setting up my art work and merchandise
Picture
a lot of people wanted to talk to me even though they hadnt seen the film or really knew anything about me. and there are a couple dozen photos like this one floating around on peoples cameras now.
and go go 13 was there. they did a cover of "hello, goodnight" that made my heart warm.
and digital unicorn played too. and it blew everyones mind... (well everyone who payed attention to him. honestly most people were talking loudly and abusing the open bar)
john heder was there too. he is that guy that played that one guy in that one movie remeber? and everyone quoted that movie forever and now you want to pierce your ear drum when you hear the title? yeah that guy was there. and i didnt talk to him.
fathers day played a house show that night @emilys friend lindseys house and we tore it up! and i didnt have spirit gum for my moustache so i had to go old school and sharpie one on. and there were some amazing haircuts.
Picture
on saturday morning we went to a place called "the corner" for breakfast. it was really good! and iggy looked espcially adorable.
Picture
i havent seen any photos from the saturday afternoon screening yet. but it was pretty good. a lot of people were there. and wayne micheal reich was there. and he made everyone mad at him because all he did was complain about how i am a talentless "git" and kept saying "rule of thumb" and everyone thought it was fake. but it couldnt be more real.
Picture
then we went to a fancy resturant called kitchen 24. and we saw patrick stump from fallout boy. (this was emilys favorite part of the whole trip)
then came the red carpet...
then we played a house show at brian millers house. and it was more brutal than ever!

so this weekend was all sorts of amazing/intresting emotions. and since i am trying to stay positive i will only list the good things. and hopefully make people feel great jealeous that they may have missed them.

-wayne micheal reich was at the screening on saturday afternoon and people hated him and he got really upset.
-wayne micheal reich claimed that he was the "michealangelo" of the phoenix art scene and that i am a "beginner and a novice" and he doesn't understand how my art can be shown next to a "master"
-when wayne micheal reich said "rule of thumb" the entire phoenix crew busted up laughing during the Q+A
-first best friends performance in almost 3 years. (don't worry though it wasn't much we just sang our charles bronson cover)
-impromptu hi my name is ryan performance in front of a bunch of drunkin idiots.
-digital unicorn
-go go 13 playing "hello, goodnight"
-talking to parker for a while about how much the song "hello, goodnight" means to us.
-selling pretty much all of my art work and making close to $400 off of it.
-fathers day being the best house show band ever! and thrashing it up in peoples living rooms.
-the mcdaniels
-walking the red carpet in a beard, pajama pant shorts and sunglasses
-talking my shoes off while on the red carpet so i can give people a literal answer to the question "how does it feel on the red carpet"
-hanging out with colt bowden
-getting sweet vinyl at amoeba
-having andrew answer questions for me on the red carpet and telling people he was my manager.
-sneaking into pictures/interviews of jeff goldbloom
