We hung out at Wang Lei’s practice room the other night and got tired… cool guys. very different than a lot of guys playing music… They’re practice room was elegant… 
It’s been nice hangin with Anton and Houlu. Yesterday we went out with Houlu and got trousers and shirts, because we smell really bad and Guangzhou people don’t like stinky naked people. was cool. We’ve been cooking most of our own meals here at their house. Liangbande doufu and hongluobo, kugua, tudou and crocodile teeth! grrrrrrrrr!we’re well rested and ready to move on to Wuhan tomorrow… The good news is that Anton will come with us… to wuhan… to shanghai… and then back to chengdu!!! (only for a visit, girls)

sweet loves and kisses… hope you beautiful people are keeping the skies blue in chengdu… and never stop rocking… not for a minute! 20065129101830

ZhuHai- Check (sandy beaches, naked swimming, and excessive laughter at no cost of harm)

The night before last we were in Zhuhai, a city on the coast, at a bar called Live. It’s a huge beach town/metropolis- super huge for a town and not quite a skyscraper haven either… anyway… it was really fun. There were a bunch of cool butterflies that were really nice… We were in the middle of "like snow" when this incredibly drunk master of dancing (not really) jumped up on stage for his axl rose routine. he grabbed the mic and swayed back and forth for a good minute before he totally unplugged the pedals and the sound stopped… I didn’t know who he was, so I didn’t want to get pushy, but he was also smashing the cables and stumbling around over our equipment with an equally unstable beer. .. I think the bar got super pissed and took him outside for a stern talking. The rest of the show went quite well. It was cool to see a bunch of guys in their 40s swirling about their arms and dancing… Looked like the really enjoyed the show…Some of them came up to us talking Russian because Anton was with us (a Russian friend of ours that used to live together with us in Chengdu). They brought about good charms…

(pictures will be coming soon)

…And cheers to Matt and Trevor for coming out and saying howdy doody… our phones all ran out of power, so we have yet to get in contact with them again… Our Chengdu home is welcome to you…

the tour is going so well! our vibes are rockin and we’re still keeping the shirts on our backs… unless we happen to be naked…

speakin of the nude, we all had a great swim in the ocean yesterday and the night before… nice to feel nature alongside nature if you know what I mean…

reggae rasta, books, laughter, rock, peace, punk, conflict and prosperity… We are very very happy these days… looking forward to our upcoming shows: this Friday in Guangzhou at the Bunker Club (once before the Solo Club); Show in Wuhan on the 14th and then off to Shanghai to rock some sh*t out…
