South America


We flew from LAX to Santiago Chile. Dean snuck into First class during the layover. 
We had a layover in Lima, Peru. We didn't know what to do.
We just hung out on the plane.
While we were waiting in Immigration we saw Juan from Abe Vigoda's secret twin.
Street kids souvenirs at the airport.
It was a long flight.
The next day we saw the coolest hill in the center of Santiago. 
There were really old castles walls.
This spiky pink flowers.
this street dog was all the way at the top of this huge castle on top of a massive hill. He was just up there chilling. 
this is the 360 view of Santiago.  Amazing!
Details of one of the demons.

there was a beautiful plaza at the bottom of the hill.
These tiles looked cool.

I was so stoked we could take some time to sight see.
We ate at the raddest Vegan resturant.
There was also a punk silkscreen shop and store.
they had cool punk aprons.
Dean grubbed down.
It was seitan , potatoes, and some other stuff. 
They also had some rad art on the wall.

it was done by the cool art collective.
there is also tons of graf in the streets.
tru dat!
Chilean dogs.
so majestic
and Cool Chilean Cats.
old school buses
this is a painting of a Pudu. these are like tiny Chilean deers that live in the forest.

Dean watched Garden State on the plane and was trying to blend into the background.
The venue we played had this huge art gallery next door.
This piece went across the whole room.
It is a tongue  and skate ramp.
The sunset was super pink from all the pollution. but man it looked beautiful.

Someone made bootleg stickers for the show. They were selling them out in front of the venue.
Golden Acapulco. 
Chilean Homies!
Rad Venue.
They gave us swine flu masks on the plane ride to Porto Alegre Brazil. 
It feels so freaky flying with everyone passing out these masks and using hand sanitizer. 
cool beer label design.
It was a quick flight. 
This is our number one fan in Porto Alegre. He was psyched to see us but he kept telling us how much his wife hated us. but she was a good sport to hang out and watch the show.
He also interviewed us for a music TV show.
I wish we had more time to see the sights.
I went for a walk in the morning.
the light is so warm down there.
Dean and Kim are about to flash the camera.
then when we were checking in for our flight to Sao Palo these guys came in to the airport and started playing right in the middle of the airport. this would never happen at LAX.
In Sao Palo everyone wore sparkly socks.
After the show we went to get vegan pizza. this one is covered in roasted chopped garlic. Wow! that was sooooo much garlic.
and this pizza had lettuce as a topping. I have never seen that before.
Dean liked them both.
we had help loading the van.
Raging Dean.
way to put it bluntly.
you can't bring these things on the plane.
poster for the Buenos Aires show.
this show was super fun!
Buenos Aires is a really beautiful city.
we got a chance to walk around before sound check.
Dean bonded with the locals.
We got falafel down the street from the venue.
the venue puts on plays and theater shows. This was a prop back stage.
we also found these glasses back stage. 
I think they look better on Matt.
fuckin' A! that is a huge burger.
Taylor's sister came to the show to hang.
Matt and Brad.
Dean getting lurked on.
We went to an English pub after the show.
This tour was so much fun and it went by super fast.

I like how your #1 fan proceeds to tell you how much his wife hates your music. Classy.

Me and some friends were supposed to meet you guys at the pub in Buenos Aires, but we never saw you and i had a test the day after, so we left early wondering if you ever went.

It's nice to know that you had fun, but we still owe you guys a beer or two.

Have fun on your upcoming shows, return soon.

p.s: I aced the test haha

so check out that pic of the pizza again, all that stuff is roasted and dried garlic, it was no joke, it was so hard to eat, but kind of amazing at the same time. actually, it wasn't amazing, but you get the point. so insane
