    So, back in 2009, I lived in a tour bus touring with big acts like Linkin Park, Pearl Jam and guys like that. Well, we did a little stint with Madonna and we went from LA, straight to NYC, down to Miami and straight back to LA in I think about a week. It was one of the most brutal on road experiences I’ve ever had to endure for 4 shows. I was on a really sweet fully decked out tour bus too, so it was the best case scenario. It gave me a new appreciation for how motherfucking vast my country is. However, I would NOT recommend the experience.

    I did get to meet Spike Lee and Chris Cornell in Miami tho and even had birthday cake with Justin Timberlake while in NYC. It was his birthday and he was doing a music thing inside our bus. He sat right next to me at the front of the bus and we talked about Pink Floyd. Super nice guy. It was a pretty wild week.

      Seattle’s music scene had to invent its own heroes because nobody bothered crossing the Rockies for less than Los Angeles.

        It’s true. Im 40 now but i never had kids and chased my dreams from 14 to 35. I dont tell any stories irl very much anymore because some people think I’m showing out or making shit up. Examples:

        • Had coffee with Pierce Broznan… at his house in Malibu. Wild story.
        • Avengers Endgame spoiler crew sound guy. Wild story.
        • I was at Derek Rose’s house, doing an interview when he got traded from the Bulls the first time. Wild story. And so much other random shit like that.
