Tour Diary 7/9/2011: UC Irvine CA through Acrobatics Everyday

Woke up. Did our laundry, what they call in the industry a “double load”. Ate a ton of chocolate and candy and marsh mellows. Watched like 6 hours of MTVu. Went to Vice Cooler’s house and picked up a cow bell for the show on the way out of town.

Got to the “space” which was a cool trailer on the UC Irvine campus. Sam Farzin (Acrobatics Everyday) and his crew are “actively” holding it down in Orange County. I really have total respect for these people who are doing weird music shows in places that are weird (for different/maybe ill reasons).

Wyzard Khalyfa played first on a quilt. He used the sound of a babbling brook and did a peace sign at the end. A guy played last that also gnarred the droned pretty hard. #dronage Brains were activated. I looked at the promo tweets after the show, which said “the most chill with the most ANTI chill”. What a great description! I think the phrase “ANTI chill” is going to make it into our new bio.

Kyle Mabson DJed throughout the night, sitting at a desk with his back to the audience. It was kinda brilliant – what can I say, I’m a super fan.

After the show I almost got a boba (“bubble”) tea. Have you tried the flavor taro. Yes or no? I ended up getting a “coffee milk tea” instead. IDEGI.
