Swollen in Boulder Co.

Our people in Boulder are family. We played last night at the Boulder Theatre to a sold out crowd. We had a hell of a time. A group of heads that have had our backs from the get go. It was cool to do songs from Black Magic now that the album is out and the familiarity of the lyrics have had time to sink in. We love you guys for real. There was an afterparty far far away. And it was weird. No dis, but Karaoke doesn't always make for a crackin jam. The Po Po showed up about ten minutes after we left and I don't know what went down after that. Found some CSI and crashed. Our friend and photographer Pete and I , are on our way to the Hotel Monaco for a drink before the show. I'm trying to hit up old school buildings on this tour, especially if they've been converted into sick hotels. Tonight should be nasty too. Enjoy football tomorrow and I'll have an entry posted by halftime of the Eagles game. Yeah yeah. Cannonball Crush Prevail

After a fucking awesome day at New Belgium, we had to look forward to a sold out show at The Aggie Theatre. Yes yes yes. One of the best shows in a minute. It was hot, sold out, loud, and full of energy. The crowd was unreal. We had a mad smoke/freestyle session afterwards. The bus rolled back to the hotizzle and I passed out. This morning I went for a 3 hour hike through Chatauqua Park up to the Royal Arch and back down. Linked up with my boy Ian and smoked three fatties watching History Channel. Went to St. Julienne, a new boutique hotel in Boulder, and had a drink. Then to my favorite spot, the Dushanbe Tea House, for dinner. Just did an interview with Freeskier Magazine. Those people got our backs super hard. Tonight will be ridiculous. Stay tuned for the tails of Boulder, coming to you live tomorrow. Cool out. Prevvity Prev.

P.S. - For our people who are questioning whether or not we are playing in
Minnesota on the 4th of Nov( my b day ) we most certainly are. We gig at First Ave with Pepper. See you there.

The show in Calgary was at the Saddledome. It felt like there was around 11,000 in attendance. Loud, rowdy show. Rihanna hadn't been feeling well so she was resting that night. The Peas killed it as always. We threw an after party at Tequila and it got crazy. They always take care of us. Thanks Ronin. Next day in Edmonton was at Rexall Centre. Again, over 10,000 people. This crowd was off the hook. Noise level was maxed out and Rihanna was back with a vengeance, she smashed it. We had our traditional after party at Showgirls and it went off as usual. A bottle of Patron somehow got drank over the course of the evening too. Yesterday was a long ride home and filled with sleep. Had dinner with my sister and some of the crew from the Peas. Big 17oz rib eye and a bottle of Cakebread Cab. Thanks Gotham. Shout out to Brett. Big show tonight, hometown crowd. I'm looking forward to it. On my way to Deuce to approve some hoodies for the Peas
and for an indie film I'm going to be in on Sunday. Until tomorrow my friends. P

First show was in Saskatoon. I watched football all day long and did another
piece for Swollen TV. We stayed in the oldest standing Hotel in the city, and I
think its haunted. The venue was called the Roxy and it was mad fun. Always a great group of people in Saskatoon. They were hyper. We had a bit of a party on the bus afterwards then rolled into Regina. I was born in the aforementioned city but only lived there till I was 1 month old and then my Mom whisked us away to Victoria. The Brandt Centre was rocking last night. I asked people to get out of their seats and they did right away. Great crowd participation. There was a Swollen cd release party at a club called Gabbo's. The Peas came too and the place was packed. Long drive to Calgary so we left around 1:00. We are going to start practicing Put Me On for the shows. Vancouver will be the testing grounds. I'm about to hit lunch before a full day of press starts. Yeah yeah. P
