VINCE’S WEST COAST ADVENTURE, THE ABRIDGED VERSION

 Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 at 11:00am by

So yeah, I’ve been gone, like, forever. Here’s what I’ve been up to:

  • I spent four days in Los Angeles, where the heavens proceeded to dump ridiculous amounts of rain upon this usually-sunny city every single day. And it was cold. What the fuck?
  • I begged metal record labels to keep giving us ad money so I can continue to work in my underwear every day.
  • I finally met Satan Rosenbloom, Anso DF and Bob Cock. They rulez!
  • I went to an L.A. Kings game in which the home team got stomped by their in-state rivals from San Jose. It was a no contest, but the beer was flowin’ and the times were fun. Thanks for the hook-up, you know who you are.
  • I went on tour with The Metal As Art Tour featuring Hypno5e, Revocation and The Binary Code. Getting to see all three bands every night was such a treat… goddamn, they are all so fucking tight right now it’s ridiculous. Total road warriors.
  • Made lots of poop and fart jokes in the van.
  • Partied a lot and enjoyed the unbelievably high quality herbals the west coast has to offer! That medical shit is everywhere.
  • Saw some of the most amazing scenery the U.S has to offer including all of California’s Central Valley, the Sierra Mountains, Shasta National Park and the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Battled through several snowstorms in the process.
  • Got stupid in San Diego, stoned in Oakland, freaked out about the rampant and obvious meth use in Reno, NV.
  • Hung out in San Francisco and Portland, OR. Got shat on by a bird in the former and enjoyed the delicious food trucks in the latter.
  • Drove up to Seattle and flew home on the red eye from there…

And now I’m back at the Mansion. About that no pants thing, I’m actually wearing pants at the moment. Fixing that situation right… now!

    HAHA! awesome to hear. Too bad the rain here in L.A. gave you the bad end of the stick. Rain came down hard as fuck, and there was alot of it too…. Hopefully you got to enjoy the lovely ladies SoCal had to offer!

    Blaze it!

    how long a set does revocation get to play on that tour?

  • msv81

    Sounds like a fucking blast, Vince. I’m envious!

    • stu1

      I’m guessing your PO doesn’t let you leave the state?

  • pigchop

    so, to sum it up: you fucked up by way of not completing the ‘west coast adventure’ by way of not visiting Vancouver BC.

  • Matt

    Decided not to come over to Spokane for one more tour stop tonight? I don’t blame you.

  • joshkid

    Hey Vince it’s good your back! Btw, is there ever gonna be a review of the Brooklyn show that I sadly had to miss?

  • http://www.cerebralmetalhead.com Satan Rosenbloom

    After meeting “him” I learned that Vince’s real name is “Jennifer.” I will reveal no more of Neilstein’s secrets.

    Review of the L.A. stop of the Metal As Art show coming up soon.

      in all seriousness, someone from noisecreep once said that she enjoyed having Ben from MS on the show and i think vince was the only one to go on it sooo

  • Skeletonwitchcraft

    id love to see the sierras and drive up the oregon coast. but anything south of those id care less if the next quake flushes it into the ocean . ( dont want any death/injury though)

    how the hell is cali still there anyways? gods etcha sketch. fires, floods, mudslides. every day makes you wonder how the earth isnt just gonna swallow it up to finish her off.

  • Heavy Metal

    Go Sharks!

    by the way, the central valley sucks.

    • Audi0phile

      GO SHARKS!!!

  • cougar party

    Portland food carts are epic. Funny how they are sort of well known by non Portlanders.

    • jxk

      my mind was blown when i first tried them. i keep finding new ones every week where i’m like, wtf, why haven’t i tried this before?

  • Discipleofthewatch

    Why didn’t you look me up while you were out this way? I live in rainy Southern California, you know.

    Go Kings!

    • Audi0phile

      At least you don’t root for the ducks.

      • Discipleofthewatch

        Ah, no way the Ducks. It’s embarassing how they won the Stanley Cup a few years back, but when I was a kid, the Mighty Ducks was a Disney movie… and I’ve always been a Kings fan, since the Great Western Forum, Wayne Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, and Marty Mc Sorley… Ha ha, and Robb Stauber; Kelly Hrudey. Good times!

  • Ryan

    Stoned in Oakland’s always good, shat on by a bird in SF sucks though. Hope you had a good time in the bay.

  • Facebook User

    As a Portlander I hope the city treated you well, and all the hipster douches kept their bullshit hate to themselves.

    • cougar party

      I feel your pain. The Hipsters have completely taken over the Hawthorne district.

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    So you got out of NYC, im surethe whole world looks awesome at that point.
