Watch Out For That Killer Cacti!!
Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 04:11PM We had a relaxing evening in Phoenix with Mr. Johnny Finn. (Look out for his duo- The Samba Project coming to NOLA during Jazz Fest season). He hosted us two houses down from our gig at Rips. You may not have heard of it, but its the same room that Willie Nelson always played when he came through Phoenix in the 60's. We channeled him before and after the gig.
The house lager is a must-have if you are in Phoenix. Poured from the tap entitled "Rips Ale", they served us their specialty the "High Mexican". We then found out it was a keg of high life, "High Mexican" being the enhancement of a lime. Exquisite.
We took a scenic highway on our way out, driving through the greenest desert we'd ever seen. It had been been raining the whole week, and they had already gotten over 80% of their usual anual rainfall. We assume that nature is on our side and assisting us swamp amphibians through the dry Southwest, spreading our raw, moist sounds of the South.
One minute we see miles of Sequaro cacti, the next minute were driving past ice-capped mountains, and 20 minutes later we're driving through five-feet of snow, in the New Mexico highlands. (caused by the BRCM related precipitation following us through the southwest)
I'm not sure what messed us up the most, the "High Mexican" or driving through a portal in-between desert and christmas tree winter-wonderland.
