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
