nevada

chillin in bed in a motel room in nevada. it's 7:30. we'll reach california today. i put up a new beat on myspace..summer winter..its a super rough sketch..due to our schedule lately i haven't been able to take the time to properly edit this one..i still want to cut off some space from the beginning and stuff due to the noise (which has been hard to avoid considering it's all being recorded in a moving vehicle). but i love it, as raw as it is. this one goes out to g mafuckin bakes! when i get to cali i'm going to rework it.

Let;'s Try this

The moment you've all been waiting for... xBsodes 3 and 4!

Comin to ya

Hey everybody,

First I want to thank all of you who continue to follow our trek across the country. We get your comments by Blackberry. It's comforting to know you still care about us :).
The trip has been more taxing than I imagined and as a result we all got sick at the same time. Although we continued gathering footage everywhere we went, we fell behind doing the editing choosing rather to sleep, eat, or get blazed. To make up for it, today we are taking a huge lunch break in Salt Lake City to edit like crazy. The bad news is that with Mercury in retrograde, my computer is having issues with uploading our masterpieces. So to tide you over, here are some previews of upcoming xBsodes.

I still love you.

Jeb

holla from salt lake city!

yoo!

last night we stayed at a hot spring in utah called mystic springs..it might have been the most magical night/morning of my life. we soaked in the hot springs for a long time..and i don't think i have ever felt such bliss.
it's maintained by an amazing couple who live there, michael and cristina. they were very kind to us and hooked us up with a cottage with two double beds and unlimited access to the hot spring for 65 bucks! unreal. the cottage had only different colored christmas lights for lighting. the pool/bathtubs (yes, there are bathtubs connected to the hot spring that you can chill in...and they are in the middle of one of the most spectacular places i've ever seen. i woke up early this morning to go soak in the springs alone. when i got up to the soaking area i could not help but burst into the kind of tears you cry when you see a really beautiful movie or hear a beautiful song. never has a place done this to me. everyone should experience this wonder of a spot.
i was excited to find out that sts9 has played two shows at this place...michael, the owner (and a music/film producer), has a beautiful stage in his home with lighting and good sound.
right now we are chilling in a coffee shop in salt lake city, trying to post a few of our new videos. we are having problems getting them on the blog due to the connection here but we are trying hard to get them up..they will be posted a.s.a.p. the videos that we have yet to post feature some of my favorite moments from the trip.
we have a 7 hour drive to reno ahead of us. we might stop halfway from here to there and crash in a motel because we are sick and exhausted. then the next stop after reno is lake tahoe in califuckinfornia. then we go to grass valley, then san francisco for our last performance. after san fransisco is my final stop...santa rosa. i'm beside myself with excitement!
driving across the united states of america is an experience i wouldn't trade for the world. i will remember this forever.
i recorded a rough draft of a new beat today in the car..i still need to work on it but i will post it on myspace in the near future..check back soon for at least 3 new vids!

much love

For a brief moment in Salt Lake city

And for a brief moment, in English… Hello dear friends!
We are taking a blog break in Salt Lake City, and tonight we will find a motel in Elko, Nevada.
Landscape in Utha are mystical and inspiring. (I understand why a lot of Mormon are here… hahaha) The road was long and offen without civilisation for hours. We stayed in Monroe in a hostel-campground that has hots springs to soak in. The cabin was rustic and confortable. Once again we met amazing people. Life is so good to us. Its a very special trip…
We are all sick, now. We need to sleep and eat fruits. I need to do some asanas.
Lots of love
Mh xx

EN FRANÇAIS

Souvent je ne réalise pas que je suis en train de faire la légendaire traversée des États. On empile les kilomètres. Johnny nous quitte lundi et moi et Jeb on continue pour être à Seatle vendredi. Je crois qu’on a un last show ce dimanche, à Grass Valley, Californie.
Le temps passe vite mais j’ai l’impression que ça fait mille ans que je regarde passer les paysages, assise à l’avant de l’auto. Toutes les routes se mélangent, les souvenirs de d’autres traversées se mèlent à celle-ci. Derrière les paysages westerns, j’ajoute des histoires, je projecte le film de mon retour à Montréal. L’utha était absollument merveilleux. Les montagnes du Colorado aussi. Les champs du Nebraska. À ce temps-ci de l’année, tout est jaune et orange. Mais en format large. Je sais pas trop comment l’expliquer. Les grands espaces.
Merci pour vos comments. Faudrait bien que j’appelle quelqu’un de vous autres. Peut-être bien que j’aurais envie de parler.
Je vous embrasse.
