NW tour day one pt. 1/"Signs of Boise"

Calico has ventured forth !

We got to somewhere in Idaho(I say somewhere because I'd just taken about a half hour nap judging that I missed most of the Ricky Gervais/Stephen Merchant podcast we were listening to - which by the way, I highly recommend!) and filled the tank, I walked over to what seemed like an impromptu band meeting by the pump, and Sean said, "wouldn't that be sweet if it stopped at $100.00 even?"

..and it did. I'm not fucking with you, it did.



I didn't just get lucky and not shake when it got to one hundred. We speculated afterward that maybe the pump was programmed to only go up to $100.00, but I assume that if the lcd screen can read $100.00 it could potentially read $999.99 just as easily... this was entertaining to us. Liam has told me it was a place called "Mountain home".

Upon arriving in Boise proper, Liam began reading aloud every sign possible - he gets excited. Turns out he had every reason; I've never seen such consistency in weird signs and graphics. Here are some of the winners:

Sean, holding it down, in front of the big smoke, which you'll notice has some damn cold beers..


...on our way there, Sean instructed me to photograph this truck, I said, "damn, that's one helluva truck":


Then he asked if I saw the sticker...


Later, we saw this church:


and...

Really, ANY occaision?

ok. enough of that. We played at the Flying M tonite, and it was really, really cool. Hopefully we're getting beers with the operators right now... on to the show.

ALSO-
the wordpress blog (andrew) and the myspace blog (brady)

Brady is working on something bigger so the myspace blog might not get as much care for the time being... (end)

Boise's not a bad city.

Tell me, did you see the Burley Paul signs outside of Idaho Falls? Me and Schlegel had a good time with Burley Paul jokes.
