11/1/06 Burts Tiki Lounge (Albuquerque NM)

Burts Tiki Lounge is an amalgamation of every style of music and decor that is possible. So we fit right it. It was Vinyl and Verses night and all the breakers and b-boys were out in full effect. It was a really cool scene, everyone was paying homage to the golden age of hip-hop. When we took the stage our reception was warm. The breakers were shredding the dance floor and I found myself watching them during the set. It was the last night of the trip since Santa FE and Flagstaff had been canceled. We hung out and met some really cool people, went to our rooms and got some sleep. We hit the road early in the morning, there was a strange sense in the van. This trip was very different from our previous experiences, it was more real. Sometime shows are bad, sometimes stuff happens back home, sometimes you get shorted and have no place to stay. But we perservered and finished, we made a decision that I would finish the tour on drums and it wasn't %100 because of the change in dynamics but it was as good as it could have been considering the circumstances.
