I don’t have nearly as many photos of the dry side as I want, particularly ones taken on the way back. As we were headed west, I kept pointing at things and going, “goddammit, I wish I had a picture of that,” but I was flying that Raptor and the only one who could, so not so much for me. Full autopilot, where are you when I need you?<\/p>\n

Here’s me packing the last thing to be loaded in – the cooler – before heading off. I’m wearing a highly appropriate shirt given the decision which had just come down that morning<\/a>. Korrasami 5eva:<\/p>\n


It’s canon and you gotta deal with it!<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

When you’re out and you want to eat somewhere, and you don’t want to do stupid chain restaurants, you kind of get a grip on recognising where is going to be good. Old locals eating there? Probably at least okay. This place was called something like… Backwoods BBQ? I don’t even know. They also had a big “BURGERS” sign up. Regardless, it’s here<\/a>. I’d put in a streetview link, but here’s what that looks like<\/a>, so thanks a pantload, Google Maps Driver. Regardless, they had good BBQ.<\/p>\n

We were making really good time, and the plan was to get there and help Zinger set up his giant pavilion, but then out of nowhere this<\/em> happened, and we moved about 5km in 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

No, seriously, that’s not a guess, that’s an approximation on distance and specifically correct on time. So I also took the opportunity to take a few pictures of rocks. As usual, everything is larger and there are more photos on the Flickr feed<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

This one is particularly worth looking at bigger. It’s pretty good for a shot-while-driving photo, I think:<\/p>\n

Once we got there too late to help out with setup, it was already goofy hot and working on getting worse. That’s where I learned I can’t be in sunlight at those temperatures unless I feel like passing out, which was pretty much what I almost did. Emphasis on almost<\/em>, since the band noticed I wasn’t answering questions even though I thought I was, and intervened with coldpacks and ice and fans and such.<\/p>\n

Somehow I hadn’t recognised when getting directions and stuff that we were playing a bunch of shows in Amon Park. 48C\/119F and in Amon Park. Definitely<\/em> the worst Korra AU ever:<\/p>\n


NO.<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

After Saturday’s last show, we ducked out to a nearby Thai restaurant (Baan Khun Ya Thai – recommended<\/a>) mostly for the air conditioning. The staff were really nice and let us linger for a couple of hours while the worst of the heat… well, I’d like to say ‘passed by,’ but really, it mostly hung around, trying to wait us out.<\/p>\n


I Am Carrot-Head Groot<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

Also at a rest stop we saw this. Who the hell needs to be told this, anyway? I mean, c’mon, have some sense. Don’t just toss these out.<\/p>\n


No fine high enough<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

More and bigger pics start here<\/a>. Next we’re headed west, to Clallam Bay Comicon again. That’ll be both a Crime and the Forces of Evil and<\/em> a Leannan Sidhe show, because we’re both going and being in each others’ bands and all that. See you there, I hope!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
