Ashes to ashes

Tonight the D&N/Boris tour hit Portland. Great show, but it was a drag that people can still smoke cigs at shows here (pun intended). I swear, in the bar area maybe 80 percent of the crowd was lit up. Not only did I inhale a ton of carcinogens and have smoke permeate my clothes, hair, skin, luggage, and all the merch, but someone ashed in my Coke can when I wasn't looking so I swallowed someone's butt. Fucking disgusting.

On a brighter note, I ran into my friend Danny Sasaki, who stayed at my house when he was touring with Kicking Giant and then Enemy Mine, as well as the kind folks from UNKL toys. Also, when my college pal Jeff and his wife Rebecca whisked me away from the show so I could crash at their house, we stopped by for some Voodoo Donuts. (Earlier, I tipped off Boris's drummer Atsu, who is vegan, to get one there, too!)
