Mar 5: Mobile, AL!

We were in the paper in Mobile, Alabama!
We got to The Blind Mule (the super cool venue we were playing) just in time for dinner, which was half off because we're ballas (not sure how to spell that...). Hilary and Dom got sensible, sandwich type meals (blackened chicken and fish and shit), but I had to go ape shit and get this crazy mess of shrimp and sausage and grits. Shit was real.
ALAS! Even in spite of all the SIC press that we got, no one showed up for the show! Not even the other act! Which was real weird - we didn't know you could roll that way. Apparently there was some other bomb ass show just down the bloc that all the regulars where at... Fortunately the owner of the bar was an AWESOME dude and gave us $60 for our troubles and sent us on our way! Thank a billion Blind Mule dude!
So...we saw this shit.
One of the dudes at the bar (the only dude besides the bartender actually...) let us stay at his place! His name was Ryan Jettin - he was a super cool dude, and a really awesome, creative artist as well. We all got a good shot of inspiration from crashing at his house, seeing his works, and hanging and talking until the early morn. Here's just a few of the wicked shits he makes.



Watch his awesome youtubes.
In the end, Mobile was a cool place. The no-show show would have been a bummer, but we don't let that shit get us down! Especially when we get payed anyways! :)
