The I WALK THE LINE ROADSHOW in the US of A March 2007!!!

That's right people, welcome to the second edition of our cheap postcard series! Last time we were in Japan, now the US, next up is mainland Europe in May.. but let's not get ahead of things. Here are a bunch of stupid pics and some nice memories that come with them, enjoy!

ARRIVING IN CALIFORNIA

Ville skating at a smooth park at a beach 15 minutes after being picked up from the airport by Chuck (ex-Swingin' Utters etc, now Black Moon Ritual) - this tour certainly had a good start!! Thanks for driving us around for two days, Chuck!

Killing time at the beach while Ville skated..

The Golden Gate bridge.. the first day in SF = tourist action

Crossing the Bay Bridge, time to go to sleep..

The first two nights we stayed at the Command Center in Oakland. This place was just amazing, it's a warehouse turned into a Space Station pretty much. They sometimes have shows there and use the money to build up more crazy shit.. thanks again everybody for letting us crash there, especially Commander Angel Nova of the mighty PHENOMENAUTS, check them out!!

IWTL & house dog Orbit having breakfast..

The Phenomenauts' tour van.. i bet they never get pulled over!

Ville outside the Command Center with one of the Phenomenaut vechiles..

Nishone says hi - we say hi to her too, she totally saved our asses and found us a deal for the minivan for the tour after it became clear that there wasn't enough space in the two band vans for even our equipment leave alone us.. Nishone plays guitar in THEE MERRY WIDOWS by the way, check them out!!

So, after maxing out the credit card at the rental company we were finally able to hit the road towards Santa Cruz..
