Day 3 (Mt. Shasta, CA): Another little mountain town - we had a great show despite a slow start. We needed a little morale booster after a tough night in Redding. The stage was really small and we had to set up on it and in front of it. Luckily, they put a bouncer next to us and he saved us multiple times from drunk people stepping on and spilling booze on our pedal boards.
Day 4 (Dunsmuir, CA): We got up today called some dude that had offered us a shower and we very gratefully accepted. It's been really hot the last few days (100+) and that makes showering so much more valuable! Afterwards we spent the day hanging out at Lake Siskiyou just outside of town. Dunsmuir is only about 6 miles from Mt. Shasta, which made for a nice, short, cheap commute. We had another good show and made pretty good money, which is important because our dates are going to start getting pretty far apart and we need a bank roll to travel on.
Day 5 (no show): We have a day off today, and drove about 6 hrs to Burns, OR and rented an RV campsite (showers, poopers, & electricity - very nice). We're about another 3 or 3 1/2 hours away from Boise, where our show is tomorrow night. Nothing really exciting to report (sorry), just moving along...
We ding'd up our trailer a little from trying to weasel our way out of a tight spot.

This guy loved the show, but was really annoying and eventually got kicked out. His signature move was flipping the bird, and did it all night to everyone.
