Tour with The Devil Makes Three

How hot is Arizona? Here I am on tour with The Devil Makes Three (not pictured) with our trusty camels "Petunia" and "Chodeface".


The main highlight of our 3 day travels to TEXAS was stopping to get Gatorade ((I'm a convert: Aimee told me my leg cramps were due to electrolyte deficiency from 'ahem' some excessive drinking so I've been chugging Gatorade for the last three days--probably not the solution Aimee had in mind--but damn does it work. Thanks homeopathy!) and the fact that the VAN did not break down! YAY! We did have to drive WITH THE HEAT ON and NO AIR CONDITIONING at about 50MPH through 100+ DEGREE WEATHER. The wind is HOT here, kids. It was almost better to shut the windows and bake in the furnace. Texas actually was good to us. There are TREES here, and greenery and we can now understand why someone would say proudly that they are from Texas...it's because they mean CENTRAL Texas, where there are rivers you can swim in (which we did yesterday) and Trees and Lakes and Waterslide Parks (which we can hopefully go to soon).
Much to Cooper and My delight, we have found a cafe with internet and grilled egg sammiches in the heart of Austin, Rejoice! We have been Motel 6ing it (with one unfortunate night at Super 8 Motel: land of jankyness and dead hookers under the bed) and the band does not let me pay for anything. I'm like, a guest or something. Also, The Three have a magical power which makes everyone love them (it might be the fact that Lucia looks like a magical pixie sprite who will grant you wishes if you do nice things for her) and take items off the restarant bill and offer to let us stay with them and stuff.
Today is our first day off...no driving and no gigs. The first show was last night...The Three played on the Americana radio show of courty singer and grizzled boot-wearer Ray Wylie Hubbard. It was one of those live before a studio audience things. Very cool, especially cause they had free beer and AC! Texans are also very friendly and polite in sort of an old-fashioned way, much, I imagine, like yours truly. So that's nice too.
Tommorrow we play Dallas (I say "we" so get used to it. I'm not in the band I just sell T-shirts). Back here in Austin on Friday. Mykle will be here by then hopefully, so he can see the show. For tour info go to The Three's Show Page!
For more Kai info, stay tuned here. Was originally going to call this "How many poo jokes and references to sweaty balls can Kai endure in a two and a half week period?" but now I'm calling it "I love everyone because iced coffee saved my soul!"
