A lot has happened with this tour.. after the St.Paul gig (March 6th) Cade (sub drummer) bailed out on the boys and they flew Jim in, who had already regretted his initial decision not to tour and was happy to get this 2nd chance! So were all of us fans!! Two days later Hate Eternal and Dying Fetus got into accidents with their vans resulting in Hate Eternal having to cancel the rest of the tour, Erik Rutan is recovering from a whiplash and a cracked vertibrae. The tour is continuing with the three bands left, but from what we hear it's still uncertain whether the tour will be completed or not and they take it day by day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Tuesdaynight I've updated the tourreport again with new tourlogs Tim sent over.. and it's funny again, duh, of course. It covers El Paso, Albuquerque, Phoenix and Vegas. They had some great shows there! Some of my favorite quotes....:
"The only way I can sum up Texas is... Christian Billboard Advertising... Every highway has these giant billboards promoting God and his teachings. The usual ones were "Jesus is Lord", but the best one was... "I don't question YOUR existence - GOD"."
"What can I say about Vegas? I was here in 2001 on a family vacation. We were an unknown band back then (much like now lol...) and I remember telling my parents that I'll be back here again, but it will be on a tour with my band. I think everyone laughed at me and a year and a half later I'm here. I made a point of calling my dad for revenge."

I also included a few Portland pics from a certain Ian - I'd love to give him more credit if I knew the whole name but maybe I'll find out soon.
