Road Diary Truckasauras Tour Diary: "I'm In Love With The Stripper"

Posted by Adam Swan on Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 11:26 AM

Truckasauras are on their first West Coast tour now through January 28th—the band's Adam Swan is sending us updates from the road, to let us know how it goes:

Portland still feels like home. Family, and friends live here. There is a better bed to sleep on than the one I own. It is also a fun town to play. The kids are into music, and come out to have a good time. We play here a lot, so the tour seems like it hasn't started yet. Although, the drive down here did have it's perks. (See Photo) Within a block radius of Backspace is Ground Control and Magic Gardens. Ground Control is an arcade with a bar in it. Tetris and beer, y'all. Magic Gardens has a totally different style of entertainment. (See Headline) It was a pretty decent show, and a fun night of drunken debauchery (details omitted to protect the guilty). Classic Truck. Check out the band Breakfast Mountain. Good shit.

Wake up with a hangover to an awesome breakfast cooked by me and Tyler's aunt and uncle. Then my uncle and I start tearing apart the van for a tuneup. No tax, and my uncle is a gearhead, so money is saved in a big way. Very important for the reality of driving to San Diego and back. Vanbo gets back on the road and we pack up to drive towards Cali to try and knock off a few hours off the road. Next stop Sacramento.
