I will definitely have an update when I get back to the states.<br /><br />Japan is beautiful!! I love it here. The people are rad and the countryside is awesome. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/country.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />We're touring with a French bad Freygolo. They're really good. I've been learning French from them as well as Nihongo (Japanese) from our Japanese friends.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/freygolo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The French say that I talk too fast in English and prefer when I speak French. hehehehe!!<br /><br /><br />I've been eating some really interesting dishes. This one has egg and seaweed. It's awesome!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/seaweed.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I enjoyed some octopus here.

There are many shrines and graveyards that blend into the landscape as you walk.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/buddah.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The fans here are insane.

I have a ton of pics. I will update upon return to the US.<br /><br /><br />Love,<br />BillZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-69685237533040207512007-09-10T11:38:00.000-07:002007-09-10T11:50:40.310-07:00Philly,Boston and Virginia Beach!What up?!<br /><br />Philly was rad! I had three cheese steaks!<br /><br />The first, and I thought the best, was at Jim's near the venue. It had the best meat and bread.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/heartattk.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I know many in Philly will have me hanged for saying that but I thought it to be true. <br /><br />I also had to check out the talk of the town. Pat's and Geno's. Those from Philly frequent one or the other religiously. I tried the double header and ate both to see what the real deal was.<br /><br />First I ate Pat's. It was great although the bread left something to be desired.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pats.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/instructpat.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/patssand.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The meat was nice and thin and the Wiz was amazing.<br /><br />Ultimately. I ate a Geno's. The meat was thicker and not as tasty although the bread was bakery fresh. As I ate at Geno's, Pat's patrons we're yelling out of their vehicles, "Pat's is open!" in jest.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/genos.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/genossand.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I have to say that Pat's took the cake. It was fun thought to see the rivalry of the two kiddie corner neighbors.<br /><br />Next we went to Boston. Dan and I watched UFC on Spike. Good fights! I had to take a pic of the Green Monster! Right in front of our venue Axis.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/greenmonstah.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Next it was on to Virginia Beach. I soaked in some sun. It was good day. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/fatty.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />More to come!!<br /><br />Cheers!<br />BillZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-33469118291180449462007-09-07T11:16:00.000-07:002007-09-09T10:38:51.073-07:00Detroit, Toronto, Niagra, NYC!!Hey!<br /><br />I have a ton o' pics on this one! First let's cover D-Town. We played St. Andrews Hall in the basement. This is known as the Shelter. One may see this venue in the movie 8 Mile with Eminem.

I explored the Italian fest. The weird thing was, was that we were right smack dab in the middle of Little Portugal and Little Italy.

It was a very small show but still great nonetheless. The venue was unique and we met up with a fan Samantha, who has been comin' to see us since she was 15, now 21. It was cool to see her.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/varisty.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/samanthaandfriend.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I took this one while I was playing Drunken Sailor, I hold the D note and had a free hand.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/crowd.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Here's the note... hehehehe<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/guit.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The show went off without a hitch until we left. Bryan pulled out and didn't notice that a 10 speed was digging into our trailer's sidewall... whoops!! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/bike.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/flat.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/dj.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Since Bryan's wife was in town, I volunteered to take the Trailer into Sears to get a new one at 6 AM before we had to leave. This is where the story gets interesting. While I was waiting at dawn for the shop to open I noticed two beautiful buildings. I took some pics of them...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/damn.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/building.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Normal enough... then I noticed something weird. There we're two strangely placed fire alarms on the wall of actual Sears building across from the Sears Tire.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/siamese.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Upon further inspection I discovered that they were actually Freemason symbols. It has a "G" surrounded by a perfect triangle. The "G" stands for "Geometry" or "Great Architect".<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/mason.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />This is a variation of the classic "square and compass"<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/squarecompass.gif" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Anyway, not yet knowing what a Siamese Connection was I looked 575 feet due east and saw this...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pyramid.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I thought that I was transported to Egypt... Then I remembered how the "Twin Cities" were constructed by the Freemasons. I also realized when I was standing directly between the two guiding "fire alarms" the points of the two beautiful buildings and the "pyramid" formed and isosceles triangle, not unlike the same form that can be seen in the building in to the right of the guiding points...<br /><br />Right:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/building.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />With triangular "clue"<br /><br />Guiding Point:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/siamese.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />from which could clearly see the center of the triangle...<br /><br />Left:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pyramid.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />and finally the building beyond the "pyramid"...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/viewfromchurch.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />A Siamese Connection is a common fire-plumbing facet... <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/sc.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Which is clever sign to put under "fire alarms". But Siamese Connection also refers to the connection of the two cities St. Paul and Minneapolis... as conjoined sisters..<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/sc2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/mason-1.gif" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I snooped around the "pyramid" which is now a Lutheran Church. I was expecting the corner stone to have an A.L. (Anno Lucius of the Freemason calendar) but to my surprised there was a newer stone in place with an A.D. (Anno Domine of the Christian calendar)<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/conerstone.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Here's is the view of the church from the front...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pyramid2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />also notice to the side the two structures that used to be obelisques...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pyramid3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />not unlike the common Freemason Temple...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/temple_model_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I also noticed that the rising sun and setting moon were directly situated equally to the east and west of the obelisk that I was shooting, leading me to believe I was meant to find this "retired" Freemason Temple. <br /><br />And finally, one last note to make you think I'm nuts. I noticed that in order to see the triangulation of the three buildings, I needed the guiding markers to see the "pyramid" in its optically triangular form. Here's a picture looking at the "pyramid" from the west away from the "fire alarms"...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pyramid4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that this is the exact middle point of the "Twin Cities". Who knows?... there may a conduit within the "pyramid" that one may use to freely maneuver between the two cities as well. We may never know... I READ TOO MUCH DAN BROWN.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />BillZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-23728746751648564372007-08-28T02:22:00.000-07:002007-08-28T03:27:16.859-07:00Boulder, CO... WHAT A NIGHT!!Hey All,<br /><br />Boulder was insane!!! Besides being one of our best markets, Boulder was also the landing pad for Bryan's birthday party. We always have a great time here, no doubt! Also, I'm stoked because my Elf camera arrived via Melissa by part of my wife thus the picture quality is superb. So, without further a due... here we go!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/marquee.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />We played at the fox which is always an awesome venue.

Damn that had to be scary. The trailer fishtailed and whacked the side of their RV which left the trailer demolished yet the equipment intact and in working order. Below you'll see the RV, still in working order and parked in the mix of foliage and buildings, a scene not uncommon in Boulder.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/colorado.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The Supervillains and The Expendables are a great bunch of guys. I will introduce them as we go. JOHN, DAN and EMO of the Villians:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/expendablescrew.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />This is Shaun Logan and Raul.

Here I am stringing up my Fender guit with Dean Markley strings... THANK YOU VERY MUCH Billy of Fender and David of Dean Markley (some of my sponsors!)<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/mestrung2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Melissa thought that the superior picture did not truly reflect my "punk rawk" nature and prompted me to look cooler for this next one! hehehe:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/mestrung.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Here's DJ of the Zero Crew and John "Young Buck" settin' up:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/djandjohn.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Young Buck is from one of the islands in the Caribe and we speak Spanish together although he speaks "Poriqua" (Puerto Rican style Spanish)... we manage to understand each other. He's a mad surfer and has a killer band. He runs merch and techs of the Villains. Check out his @#$% www.myspace.com/tinkfast<br /><br />Here's Kyle settin' up for The Expendables. He also runs merch. I always see him startin' up a pit for us when the action is gettin' to a lull.

Bryan and Jim of the ZC and Raul started jammin' so that Donnovan could get some tones and start mixing:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/bryjimandraul.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I had to get a pic of Dono... his stomach tatt says "Chub Life" He's Sound Guy/Manager of The Expendables:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/chuglife.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />After we were done goofing around, Ryan and Raul took over to soundcheck. These guys are really killer musicians:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/bryandry.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />gimme my Bass bry!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/ryan.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Raul and I goofin' around...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/meandraul.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />After set up came the show and Bryan's festivities. The Expendables put on a killer set:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/expendablesghost.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Jason sings with the guys and Jim does a song as well. Here's Jim helpin' Adam out by playing some Timbal on a joint:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/adamandJim-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />It's always rad in CO. We have a ton of friends. Greg and Cassy showed up. Greg actually filled in for Jim for a week on our Zebrahead run:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/gregandcassy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />My wife's buddy came and bought J a shot, thanks Chuck!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/chuckandj.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Also Nat and Flo showed up to help Bry on his quest for drunkness!! Don't worry Heather, they're harmless, we've known 'em for years!! ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/bryfloandnat.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />After the show, Emo and I packed our trailer with two band's gear, us and the Villians, damn that thing is about to burst:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pack1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Wait... we can fit more:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pack2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Gotta help 'em out till they get a new trailer. <br /><br />After the show came the inevitable after party at The Sink. Bry got tore up and so did the rest of the crew. I, being the DD got to be the photo terrorist!! hehehe!! <br /><br />Here's Bry walking to the after party. It's his impression of a "Tree Hugger" although a suspect he was using the tree to keep from falling. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/treehugger.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />After Bry crashed... J and I went to yet another bar. Damn these guys are like the Energizer bunny when it comes to the sauce!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/djandbry.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />While Jason and I were there with Flo, Nat, Ryan and Adam we saw some drunks jumping off of the roof into a pool at the bar. This pool was more like a moat or cesspool. It appeared to not have had the water change in a month. Seriously, no sober person would have ever dared to enter these waters!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/cespool.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />When the final beer o'clock arrived we said "later" to our friends and headed back to Denver to sleep for a couple of hours before continuing on to Kansas.

I love this city because it's filled with coffee!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/Starbucks.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />These we're some capitalist propaganda tools made of of sand and water... I mean sand castles. hehehe!! I love Starbucks, sorry... had to snap a shot. <br /><br />Once again I hopped on the bus to got to Bally's. The cool thing about Seattle is that there are certain times when the bus runs free of charge to promo cleanly air. I took the bus to the outskirts of town and had to pay $1.50 afterwards for the day when I left the city for the gym. Not bad! <br /><br /><<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/bus.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />There was a cool poem on the bus that lacked vowels. I've heard about this literary technique but never had actually seen it done. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/weirdpoem.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />When I returned into the city center, I had to snap a shot of The Space Needle. I told the guys that I thought it was ironic that a city with a major heroin problem has a need monument. hahahaha!! No offense anyone from Seattle, as I've said, I LOVE SEATTLE!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/spaceneedle.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Cheers!<br />BillZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-22041665044448588892007-08-23T05:06:00.000-07:002007-08-23T05:49:54.147-07:00VancouverHey All,<br /><br />A ton happened to me today so it may run a little long! We drove into Canada today and of course had to pass through customs. When the Canadian guard asked if we had any guns, I replied, "just these guns!" and flexed. She laughed and passed us through. I'm pretty dumb at times when I'm bored. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/drivinin.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />So every time we go to Vancouver we notice these looming cranes. It seems that the city has been under construction for the 5 years that we've been comin' here. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/crane.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Apart from the construction this city is extremely beautiful!! I really enjoy the air quality and the culture. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/foliageca.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/flag.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />So... I had to get some poutine fries. Poutine is a mix of fries with curds and gravy. It's a delicious heart attack. When I was waiting for my order I noticed how liberal the city is. There was a flamboyant gay couple ordering right after me. The one was telling the other to order the small as to not get fat. I was a little taken back due to how homo-stereotypical the scene was. If that wasn't enough an attractive French Canadien girl ordered after the couple. She sat right next to me. So on one side I had Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and on the left a Femme Fatal type. I finished up my poutine and bounced. It was a bit much. hehehe!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/vancouver2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />It gets better. After the show I was walking through a construction zone with a wooden covering to protect pedestrians. There was a slender well dressed girl who passed me in the shadows. I broke wide as to not scare her, when to my suprise she asked me if I needed company for the night. I didn't respond kept walking. I am a happily married man. hehehe!! And here I thought she was a damsel in distress. <br /><br />After we gathered up the bar flies to head home, I popped in Metallica. "To Live is to Die" was playing which is a major influence in the beginning of our first album. I wrote the song, "Papa" in remembrance of my late grandfather and it ended in G which was perfect to lead into "A Passage in time". "To Live is to Die" was written for the Late Cliff Burton and has similarities to our album in that it transitions from classical guitar to heavy music. I commented that even from the great beyond my PaPa is still hustlin' because his song sells well on Itunes!<br /><br />And now the awesome paranormal ending! We tried to enter the USA at the Peace Arch to no avail. We had to head back to the Pacific X-ing to broker in our promo merch. We got to the Pacific and were greeted by a man our own age. He searched for our band on the net to hear some of music. The first song that he asked about was "Papa". It had popped up first on his search. He asked about other songs and then eventually told us good luck and sent us on our way without having to broker anything. This saved us a couple of hours and a ton of money. I thanked PaPa out loud and so did the guys. I always knew he is still with me but sometimes he still lets me know in the physical world.<br /><br />We love you PaPa!<br />BillZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-19697702090810544352007-08-20T12:35:00.000-07:002007-08-20T13:01:12.727-07:00Outta SF to AshlandHey All,<br /><br />So get this, we were to stay 30 minutes outta SF and leave in the morning. No such luck. Motel 6 sold our credit card held reservations to another costumer. Nice.. Nice. They guys had been drinking as usual so I had to drive us through the night! I was exhausted but managed to drive 330 miles. Copenhagen and Rockstar really helped to keep me awake... AGAIN! hehehe <br /><br />I got us through some mountains but opted to wake DJ up at 9:00 AM for the last 100 miles. We stopped for gas in this hillbilly town. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/hillbilly.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The people inside we're a lot like The Hills Have eyes folk. If that wasn't weird enough, upon entering the restroom I encountered a mannequin of a woman in a tub!! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/manaquin.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I jumped back and said, "what the @#$%!!" The hillbillies had a chuckle. I guess they're bored there. As I gathered myself after being up for 24hrs working and driving, I started to do my business. The rednecks had rigged a speaker that was on a sensor. The woman started sayin', "get out I'm in the bathroom!!" and "don't touch me!!" I started to think I was losing my mind. They also had bated people to grab a fight coupon from the woman's breast. I washed my hand's and got the f out! <br /><br />On the way out, I bought a water to flush the 2 large Rockstars that I had consumed from my veins to try to sleep. The knucklehead at the register asked what band we played for. I told him. Then he started telling me that they cooked breakfast for Insane Clown Posse. I was not surprised and headed to sleep in the van. <br /><br />When I awoke, we we're in Ashland. Salvation!! Ashland is this killer town in Oregon that Flip found out about from 30 Seconds to Mars. It's a hippie town and a great place to soak in some fresh air. The first thing I did was go to our favourite cafe. We start and end our stays in Ashland there. Great coffee and breakfast...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/cafe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I returned to the hotel about three miles away. After we rested for awhile we headed into town. The boys took the van and I skated for exercise. Damn that was tough. No oxygen and tons o' inclines. <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/skatepic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />We chilled for the day. The guys went to the bars and I checked out two movies, The Bourne Ultimatum and Dawn Rescue. They were both awesome. I love Ashland!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/ashland.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Cheers!<br />BillZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-28308225459143301892007-08-18T20:21:00.000-07:002007-08-18T20:33:03.419-07:00San FranciscoHey All,<br /><br />We're in San Francisco tonight. I love this city. We're playing the Fillmore. I've taken pics in front of the massive wall of fliers of bands that have rocked this joint. After load in, I took the 38 bus down to Market and went to the gym. Afterward, I soaked in some of the bay. It's beautiful. There is also a pic of the cliche trolley, but you'll also notice a sax player jammin' out in one pic. It was rad because he was playing the theme from The Godfather. Anyway, I created a slide show this time... I hope it works! Damn... didn't work...here are the pics and slide addy!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/flyerwall.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/fillmore.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/busstop.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/gym.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/baybridge.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/trolly.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/sax.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Cheers!<br />Bill<br /><br />http://s98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/?action=view¤t=f81d1bdc.pbwZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-22531897685248948512007-08-17T13:44:00.000-07:002007-08-17T13:47:41.079-07:00Keeps me goin'!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcXpQVuapEVhaCz6GUG_y7XxM5CLOw7dqJbuYftKYvNxvfvQJp8w2QDW0w7eIeE6P1Yxe0mg7w0Gd9__3YG1bJdMDqC_JEWcwkNauQM9t-iQWyMnD_tEsWOeOnVVKQlDCwZsvIcYwcoqE/s1600-h/my+fam.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099773825570776658" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcXpQVuapEVhaCz6GUG_y7XxM5CLOw7dqJbuYftKYvNxvfvQJp8w2QDW0w7eIeE6P1Yxe0mg7w0Gd9__3YG1bJdMDqC_JEWcwkNauQM9t-iQWyMnD_tEsWOeOnVVKQlDCwZsvIcYwcoqE/s320/my+fam.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hey!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I'm bored and lonely on the road constantly and the only thing that keeps me going sometimes are my wife and son.

It's been awhile. Anyway, I got some new ink before we left for this run. We all got "13" tatts on our last run. It was the 13th Warped, 13th year as a band and Friday the 13th. We paid $13 for the tatts and Bryan actually made $13 in tips too.<br /><br />So after we got home I expanded on my tatt in the Practice pad at Bry's house. Our buddy from Millano's, Jason does some sick work. I'll left my camera at home for this run so my phone cam will have to do!<br /><br />It says "Ego Veni Vidi Vici". I came, I saw, I conquered. Fun times!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Bill </div>Zerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-75025448194850978822007-08-06T07:01:00.000-07:002007-08-06T07:12:48.198-07:00Para la suerte...Hey All,<br /><br />Comin' from Mesa, I'm an aficcionado of all things Mexican. I've decided to use an old remedy for me and Authority Zero's luck. This is a prayer candle for San Martin Caballero. The first time I saw it used was in Juarez, MX. The tradition is such that you light the candle, ask the Lord to send his man Martin to free you of bad luck and evil in the process bringing good fortune for your family and business. You also have to give his horse a drink.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/cndl2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It is said that by the time the horse has drunk his water, you will be free of affliction and successful in your business endevors.<br /><br />Since I've been using this candle, Azip has been doing a lot better and is selling more CDs. hehehe!! If you believe all things are possible.<br /><br />It's funny because after Juarez, I saw these candles all over the place. The most memorable being in Texas in a taqueria that we've visited twice in 5 years. I guess it's working for their business too!<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Bill<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/candle1.jpg" border="0" /></a>Zerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-59509856173078364762007-08-06T06:53:00.000-07:002007-08-06T06:55:58.240-07:00Zero Goes NauticalHeyAll,<br /><br />I just got this pic send to me by my cuz Todd in FL.

As a rule of thumb we fix up the van for the beating it's to take, prior to departure. We got the oil changed and had the break system inspected. Of course nothing could be machined and everything needed to be replaced. $650 pre-tax was going to be the bill. I decided fahgittabout it!! We'll do it our self.<br /><br />After practice on Friday D.J., Bryan and I manned up and got dirty! hehehe I had done the breaks on this puppy before so I kind of new what I was doin'. I forgot about the one set of bearings that fit into the rotor itself... genius! Anyway, us three monkeys put our coconuts together and figured it out.<br /><br />We replaced the front rotors and all 4 sets of brake pads, front and back. $300 and two and a half hours of labor later we're locked and loaded! Check out my pic post job, it reflects grease and the monsoons meeting! hehehe ...

First, I ate over at my folks in law as a belated b-day feast.... awesome food as usual. My wife Kirsten, my son Liam and I then went to Payson. She had to do some business there so we decided to stay the night. We barbecued over at Rumsey Park. It was weird because my father used to bring us up there and now I was doing the same with my family.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/barecanyon.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />In the morning we headed to Box Canyon. My friend Bart and I had found it on accident about 10 years ago. It's about 20 miles out of Payson. I took my wife and son to the edge to show them the beauty of this area. It reminds me of a mini Grand Canyon!<br /><br /> <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/canyon.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/fampayson.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/kpayson.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway... great Weekend!!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BillZerodaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17494210072709037037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827041435661237966.post-12408459461922976402007-07-24T20:51:00.000-07:002007-07-24T20:53:25.220-07:00Happy Birthday to Me!!Yay!<br /><br />I turned 29 today.

We we're playing Denver right in front of mile high stadium. It was awesome needless to say. Jim and I we're hustlin' merch. The doors had just opened and we were swarmed with adolescent fans. The demographic was quite normal for Warped Tour. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye an adult that I recognized but couldn't place was trying to buy a shirt. After a three take I realized it was Jim (singer) from Pennywise. Apparently his laundry had been lost and he needed a fresh shirt for the day. I told him that we wouldn't except his money and gave him the shirt of his choice. He gave us a sweet tip in the "Beer Fund" Jar and disappeared back into the maylay of Warped.<br />Get this... Jim never wears anything but straight Dickies type stuff on stage so it was a shock when I saw him sport Azip on stage. We're very grateful for this for the mere fact that 20,000 impressionable minds viewed our shwag on this Godfather of punk in Denver. I of course had to get a pic of this. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/merchblog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />I went backstage and tried to get a clear shot of Jim and Fletcher rockin' out... of course demonstrating our shirt. NO LUCK! I proceeded to the photo pit and got some blurry pix with my phone...shit!! While I was taking pics, I caught a plastic bottle in the head. SWEET! That fuckin' hurt. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pennblog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />With no luck I went backstage once again. All of the sudden the sky opened up and peed on us!! Fletcher (guitarist) announced that the show was being postponed due to lightning risk! Holy Shit! The Zero Curse strikes again.<br />I'm tellin' ya'. It was pouring!! It sounded like the pits of Hell had opened up, people we're screaming being pelted by cold rain. While I listened I noticed Jim and Fletcher chillin' havin' a beer in the equipment trailer. I approached them and apologized. They asked why? I told them the shirt cursed the show and he'd better take it off before he got struck by lightning. Fletcher told me not to say shit like that or it may happen and I'd feel bad. I agreed and headed back to our merch booth. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pnny2blog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />I got to the booth and it was lowered to block the rain. There we're about 20 people chillin under the bastard! hehehe Crazy ish! I thought for sure the show was going to be doneski! I ran into my buddy Greg who is a 20 something drum prodigy who has filled in for my drummer Jim at times. He was in good spirits as usual and was chillin' with his girl. We waited for awhile and lo and behold we heard the unmistakable timbre of PENNYWISE!! The show was saved!! I ran back to our van to get the real camera, my ELF! Awesome pix!! I took some from the pit and the photo pit. The Zero Curse was defeated that day by one of our favourite bands! </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/girobellum/pnnyblog3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Thanks for the support Jim!
