We had an absolute blast all the way through America doing all the shows, sampling the best and worst (read: awesome) of food, and partying with a whole lot of great people in like a million different cities!! We did take a multitude of photos, many of which you can check out on our flickr photostream

The next leg of our swashbuckling adventures landed us in Bogota, Colombia.  Having never been to Colombia before, neither of us knew what to expect.  It’s an astonishingly cool place, and very beautiful.  You can see giant green mountains from pretty much anywhere in the city which will wow you to the ground.  There’s a historical part of town called La Candelaria which is full of old cobble stone streets, old school buildings, amazing hole-in-the-wall type restaurants, and super cool bars in which all kinds of people can be seen drinking and booty dancing to “Culo” even at lunchtime!  The party was held in the top floor of a parking lot in downtown Bogota. We checked it out in the afternoon and it was an indoor soccer field, then when we went back that night, it had been transformed into a proper rave warehouse.

just a quick update to say we’ve had to cancel our show in kansas but we have added another in richmond VA on the 19th. so come check us out

Chile was a blast right from the start.. Our host, Roberto picked us up from the hotel with Miami Horror, and we went to a delightful country club in Santiago for lunch.  We were introduced to the national drink of Chile, the Pisco Sour… This one should have been called the Pisco Sledgehammer, because it pretty near knocked our heads off.. Must have had something to do with all the flying and intermittent sleeping patterns.

The party we played was unbelieveable! It was held in some sort of galactic terrordome, and we shared the bill with Miami Horror and Tiga!  It was definitely a case of extreme fun, lights, lazers and music..  Chile definitely knows how to hold a party!

We’re having a little trouble with some of the photos, so we’re gonna keep on posting boring literary entries… Keep checking back for more imagery tho, we’ve been taking some pretty boss photos..

We decided to take a day trip to another one of LA's fine beaches, Long Beach.  We were attracted to this location not only because it was the spot where Snoop served his 'caine, but also because it is home to one of 5 Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles..

We hopped in a cab (big mistake) and paid the dude $130US to get there..  We didn't find a whole lot to do, but we did hit up Roscoes..  This place is what it sounds... Awesome, and difficult to stomach at the same time.. Neither of us finished our plates.. The ice cream looking stuff is not ice cream, it's whipped butter (found out the hard/gross way)..

THREE containers of maple syrup?  Who needs that much!!  I wound up dipping all my chicken in the syrup and spreading the butter all over everything.. I figured if i was gonna do this, i was gonna do it properly.
Overall though, a pretty awesome adventure.

just landed in LA. we’re staying at venice beach which appears to be populated mainly by henna tattooists, rastafians and the mentally deranged. we ate mexican for breakfast then went for a quick walk up the boulevard where we saw a ninety year old dude on a skateboard, got our fortunes told by a zoltar machine and then met the dog whisperer in the flesh. might go check out santa monica or long beach later on today.

here’s two bag raiders videos for those who haven’t seem them. the first is a flim clip our buddy beaufort did for fun punch.

check him out at bombsbeaufort
