West Coast Festival Tour Pics

We've been back from the tour for a few weeks, and a photo update is past due! Here we go. Join us, would you?
The open road. Ahhh. With gas prices the way they are, the open road somehow lost some of its magic. Once we have hover vans and hover trailers, the magic will return, trust me.


We had an amazing time at the Columbia River Gorge. After a long stressful but awesome day of playing at Creation West, this was just what the doctor ordered. There is nothing like a beautiful view to recharge and put things in perspective!


Who is that scary looking shadowy, silhouetted figure on the horizon?


Here we are jamming on some sweet guitars at the Taylor house. If you look closely, you can see Uncle Mikey's legs. He's a totally tubular, rad guy and his coolness plus the kindness and hospitality of Grandma and Grandpa Taylor were a huge blessing.


We stopped at a gas station in the Cascades. We didn't need gas, we just wanted to spend $100... jk. Anyway, the sky was doing some amazing things color wise, so we had some photographic fun while the pump whirred away.


"Hello Eric, how are you?" "I'm fine, but the sky behind me is feeling a little blue."


"Hello T.J., how are you?" "I'm fine, but I'm practicing the flying jump kicks grand master Eric showed me in an attempt to get a good myspace pic."


This is Ben in the luxurious backstage area at the Gorge changing strings.



Eric surveys the war torn land backstage at Spirit West Coast. Moments from when this picture was taken, the entire FOF crew launched into a blurry speed frenzy of getting things on stage and plugged in. Ahh my blood pressure is rising just thinking about it. (just kidding mom, I'm fine)


Eric looks out over the gorge. Did I mention that we loved it there?



All in all, we had an absolutely splendid time on tour. We met lots of wonderfully nice people, played lots of music, and made lots of memories.
