Photos from the Road: Las Vegas Update

Life has been beautiful lately.

Jesus on Ice Tour 2008 Wombaticus Rex Devastate

First off, thanks to my folks and my aunt for the camera that made all this tomfoolery possible.

Wombaticus Rex packing for tour

I pack heavy. I'm running around the country with a laptop and a suitcase and that's way too much crap. I'm going to upgrade to a single, compact bag for clothing and laptop. Collapsable jackets are probably the apex of human technological achievement.

Also, for those curious: How to Book a Tour.

Biggest Crowd Ever



Idaho Schweitzer Mountain Devastate

We rocked some pretty huge shows, dude. It got pretty heavy. This is Schweitzer, a resort named after an obscure death camp in Germany -- the actual ski resort is in Idaho. Yes, Idaho. It's a beautiful damn state. The fellah onstage is, of course, Devastate.

Even Bigger Crowds in San Mateo





Wombaticus Rex live in San Mateo Gossip Ultralounge

When I showed that photo to Chris Dizzy, he asked "was that the sound check?" He's a nice guy. That was actually the show but we had a great time doing it. Big thanks to E-Train for coming out -- and big thanks to everyone who came. Email me and I'll send you as much music as you want.

San Jose @ Streetlight Records

Thanks to Phil at Streetlight Records for putting up with me rapping at their customers. It was a great opportunity to try out some of my Humpasaur Jones dance routines.

The Box Office, Las Vegas



We had a dope Homecoming party, though -- thanks to Vanessa and Weezer Anne for the photos.











Never knew I made that particular face, but RIGHT ON.

the masses will soon know the gospel of the wombat. They cannot escape the inevitable

Come do a show in Jackson, WY! It's pretty easy to book out here, I'd recommend the Mangy Moose in Teton Village.

I'm definitely done with shows for awhile after this. I got a journal full of mistakes to learn from, time to re-engineer my entire operation.
