HALFWAY !! – out on bail, and other tour tales
By diplo | November 3, 2008
here we are….
lots has happened since we embarked on this tour of our wild country!
boy 8 bit has changed his name to Roy Apron and joined telepathe as a guitar player (lyza got too homesick) .. abe vigoda cut the nose off of Hotdog, and ME and Pizza Devro went to Jail in Denver for a night . boy 8bit was cuffed in his underpants and i was almost shot by the ramada ice machine…. if anyone knows how to get mugshots of the internet holla at us
so after the opener in MAnhattan we set off and sold out Boston and then went on to Canada to terrorize the kids, into detroit to get haircuts and go thrift store shopping and chicago to link with getto division (i see u glitch and Robthreeezy) this dudes are my favorite dudes right now.. abbey pub went off.. pizza went crazy (montreal pizza was the first pizza stage dive tho)
boston Was HOT as shit..
then later that night I wooped a bunch of bitch ass turtles in new super mario on DS! i see u princess!
which was good warm up to mad decent X jokers of the scene monday is the new friday! that party was nuts juan from ape vigoda did a nice feedback solo for 10 minutes and told the crowd to go sit in the corner and then yelled on the floor for a good 5 minutes before change over, that was the highlit for me!
big shout to toronto! circa on a tuesday! i ended my set after two hours.. but people said one more one more! so after my bottle of pinot noire i ended up playin one more after one more until 4 am and im upside down on the dj death cage.. big shout out to weekdays and people with no jobs,,
went to detroit where pizza got a haircut and I almost went halfs with telepathe on a coffin downtown… got to Dj magic stick downtown for first time since 2005! and played an encore with guilty simpson and dJ assault trax..
now pizza was soo fresh soo clean and his game was strong
then off mnpls and kansas and idaho and colorado and everywhere else in between.. some crazy shows in cities i never been in
(I watched phillies win world series eatin mash potatos with bizzy signal from telepath in boise) i see u Cole Hammel! boy 8 bit made hand drawn tshirts for the ladiez
Salt LAke city was cool , earlier in the day it was like 80 degrees .. saw a building go up in flames and went to a mall that hosted last years biggest mall masacre and now has an american Apperrel shop where i purchased all sorts of new tour underwears… then we played in a garage and i ended up in a stockton Jazz Jersey.. it was like a for real garage and u cant drink and curfew was like 11! it started off a lil bit weird but then kids were wilin out by the end , i think that when things are this weird for u and for the kids that come to see ya! it just becomes a common bond and u work it. boy 8 bit Djed on a box and later his mum and dad played our officlal after party in UTah.. we drank polygamy porter on tap all night!
nex up is vancouver.. that show might be craziest so far.. kids were wilin. sooo many mad decent Shirts in the front of the dj deathcage!
pizza molested hot dog on stage the monitors drank too much wine and i think that reggie from Abe vigoda stole hot dogs nose.. i bought some terrible in ear monitors that suck from the canada guitar center and scratched on thier stanton ttables for about an hour before roy apron had to take me to sound chek.. after partee was lots of fun. me and paul devro Djed off one Usb stick and his brother couldnt get in (that what u get for wearing a blanket to the club!) eventually he did make it in but went straight for the toilets to get the urinal filters and then put them on our turntables while we were playing ! thanks ERic!
heres a pic of eric later that night, also heres his other brother Ballz devero. Roy apron tried to sleep with ballz devero but that party got crashed . if anyone finds roy aprons hi top puma please put it on sound cloud for us!.
next mornin we were in seattle for holloween.. this party went crazy. i threw some holloween stuffs DJa marilyn manson/ smashin pumpkinz/danzig/ and other stuff i forgot.. pretty titty might know he was on the other room bein mad.
but i liked scratching spooky laughs and disney horror records over blog house best.. seattle i lov U!.. next up Portland .. day after sold out shows in seattle and vancouver! we didnt think this party was gonna do much but it ended up bein the rowdyest kids yet! they were goin crazy all night i almost had dj death cage crushed.
sooo….. 2 morow!! s,f,!! MONDAY is the NEW FRIDAY!!
…..also LA.. will be a blowout.. not only do we got the official Afterparty for the election according to www.indie103.fm/ (PLeASE LoRd GoD JeSus LEt oBaMA wIn!!) .. i mean election after partee! this might be the first year ever where that is a cool ideal!! but our guest list ranges from Tim&eRic, crookerz and switch lykke Ly to Kanye East to Ben Afflek and JLO!! HOLLA!

I like the pics of Diplo DJing with earbuds. That’s an example of why I like his DJ technique so much. There’s a real freedom to what that guy does and it doesn’t seem like he’s trying to be cool. Maybe he is and failing.

imperatives:
1) KEEP LIVING/BLOGGING LIFE FOR US OFFICE SLAVES
2) bring mad decent back to sf. that hour+ of music (ok, and obama too) dramatically improved my outlook on life. i got rad pictures.
