I've got Detroit pics, but I'm going on vacation next week so they won't be up until after then.

I understand that no one is probably interested in actually, oh, perusing the photos themselves outside of this thread, but in case ya are, one can check out all the tour photos in Replicator's photo gallery.

But, hey, since the thread needs more pictures, i'll be nice and hotlink for you.

Chicago:


Conan logs in with his fist


As Patton Oswalt might say, "Rubbing shoulders together...YES" (Replicator)


Ben Adrian rides Lucy, the dog belonging to Rev. Scott of the Amino Acids (Detroit)


Choppy has a light in his head (HiFi)


Guitar, meet Yale's pants


Scott Picco has the coolest drum set on earth. (Bear Claw)

Milwaukee next...

Milwaukee:


Conan climbs a tree at the cookout


Ben and Todd are buds


Conan sort of crowd surfs


Chris Bolig making with the mighty thwomp


Me making a similar thwomp


Conan played the last half of our set with us in Milwaukee


You can see the ankle brace i'm drumming on in this shot


Conan and me busting out "Doubting Thomas Telescope"

I have yet to see any photos of COnan and me making out at the end of the set onstage, or M'ris re-chipping my front tooth with a glass of water (yes, James Horsewhip, my teeth were broken at Points East Pub AGAIN. Wtf).

Show last night ruled balls. Every band fucked shit up. There exist a ton of great pictures of myself fucking with Ben that Mandroid and Aaron took.

I got a little bit too drunk though. Somehow, I managed to acquire a significant portion of The Ruby Doe and Madraso's drink tickets. Couple that with being up since 4:30 am. (I wake up early for work), and Conan had to shake me awake by the end of the night.

THe smoke machine was an excellent touch.

Who would've guessed that a measly fucking camera-phone would take the world's greatest picture?

Yeah, me neither.

But I did [cracks knuckles.......sighs] and sometimes greatness cannot be contained.

Everyone, I present to you, "James fucking with BenAdrian (and doing a pretty good job of it)"



I'm assuming that it's making up for this?:



The saga continues....

I would like to add that it was a pleasure meeting everyone in the Replicator crew. They put on a great show and were great guests. Mandroid also reminded me how good pumpkin seeds were. Forgot about that. Salut!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who came to the shows, who I met from the Premier Rock Farce, and especially to the nice forum member who gave us shelter and food.

I had a good but grueling time. If anyone is ever in the bay area, you will have the comforts of mine and Mandroid's home.

Ben Adrian

I'm not ready to post my final take on this tour yet, as I still have the last two days to recount for the tour journal anyway and it's all rapidly fading away like a dream as the horrific banality of day to day life slowly sucks the marrow out of the bones of the experience.

But i'd like to pre-emptively say that we had a fantastic, if at times exhausting tour I agree with Ben and it was super awesome to meet up with so many of you, and play with so may of you, and rock for so many of you.

This forum really is one of the friendlier and more high quality of the internets forums out there, and I was constantly amazed by how many rad people that I met were on here as regulars, or once in awhile, or even just lurked.
thanks gang!

now, here is a picture of a Toilet Tree outside of the motel 6 we stayed at in Eastern Montana


I'll post up the final whatever with a picture selection when I can!

From Seattle...

J. Burns, tormenting Ben Adrian




Chris from Replicator, post fog machine:


merch table Spiderman, with glowing cock:


Cneutron and The Todd, thranging in a mighty axewar:


Ben plays multiple instruments with the power of his mind alone:


My photos of Mise en Place and Bear Claw didn't turn out very well due to lighting issues and my digital camera being CRAP when illumination conditions are dismal, but I posted what I had on flickr anyway if anyone is interested.

I'd like to echo the sentiments of Ben and Conan and thank the PRF for attending shows, offering us safe harbour within the confines of your domiciles (though Ben and I are both suffering from a serious case of House Envy due to this), and being all-around wonderfully funny and friendly people.

Salut! to all of you and especially ampeg77, who picked me up from the airport after a flight plagued by medical emergencies and overweight Chicagoans, and who then showed me the glories of Kuma's. I hope that I rendered him proud with my food gluttony.

Amanda, did you find your thing that you lost?
