Vagabender

This was a story that wasn't blogged. How we lost our registration. It's a simple tale of blinding sun and the folly of storing papers above the driver's sun visor. The details are mundane, but the riffs are pure Vagabender. Hope you enjoy it.

When we were in Memphis enjoying the hospitality of Hailey's family, one of the more memorable moments was when her father, Rex, got going about Adam and Even and the Garden of Eden. It's a bit jumbled because there were really three conversations going on and the burbon had been flowing for some time, but I think it still captures the moment. Listen.

Real quick clip with crappy quality (because it was recorded direct onto my iPod) I discovered from the 4th of July. I'm asking everyone, "why do you hate America?"

It's worth it to hear Luke's response to the question: "excessive individualism."

This audio clip is another take from the Guadalupe Mountain recording session. It's just a tale of what happens when you're driving the unmarked back-country mountains of Utah after a night of pirate camping and you find a briefcase sitting in the middle of the road.

Hope you enjoy it.

Thrill to the Texas potato cannon and some other good times. Contains damning evidence. Not suitable for all audiences.

Here you'll hear Rodger, Scott, Brieann and us fellas. "Kick him. Tell him Texas is calling" is Rodger trying to wake up Tom back in Portland at 4am Central/2am Pacific (on a work night). The thunk is three eggs hurtling across Rodger and Scott's back yard. The rest is history.

We've been recording things. Stories, goofing off, music, etc. We're going to keep posting like this; it's like our own little internet radio show (or "podcast" for buzzword-compliance) and I think we like it.

This episode features our finest run-in with the law so far. All the way back in Eastern California we were running state roads through the Mojave desert. There were some pretty big brush fires and at one point we blew right by a ranger barricade. The rest is history.

Listen now.
