CALIFORNIA TOUR DIARY: DIARRHEA PLANET + LEFT & RIGHT
After a week of solo exploration around San Francisco, Diarrhea Planet and Left & Right rolled into the city, playing a stellar show at the Independent. I jumped in the van with camera bag and backpack in tow the following morning, joining the boys for the journey down to Los Angeles.
We cruised along the Pacific Coast Highway with the most stunning views of the ocean from up in the cliffs as we rolled into Santa Cruz. Immediately hit the boardwalk, took a thrill ride on the wooden rollercoaster, strolled along the beach, and shoveled mouthwatering burritos into our bellies. The boys slayed the Catalyst, and come morning, we were bound for Los Angeles for a show at The Echo with best buddies Lovely Bad Things. A sold out show, packed to the brim with friendly faces, new and old, from all corners of the country. Few things more satisfying.
Take a dive into these photos of West Coast tour life. Can I go back yet???!
CALIFORNIA
Visual highlights from my three weeks in California. I only had a handful of rolls of film, all overly expired. My film shots make me feel like I was living in a 1970s magazine. There's a few Instax in here, and sometimes you just reach for VSCO Cam.

Austin Psych Fest photo story up on Original Fuzz
I made my first ever appearance to Austin Psych Fest, now known as Levitation Fest, down on Carson Creek Ranch in May. Three days of tramping through mud and heat with the threat of storms looming all weekend, but made it through without a drop of rain, which made way for some seriously stunning sunsets.
Levitation is easily my new favorite festival. No matter which of the three stages you stumble upon, every band is phenomenal. Everyone in attendance is in the same headspace, on the same level. It's the most here-for-the-music festival I've experienced. In the midst of reuniting with old friends and familiar faces, I also made friends with people from all corners of the world - Australia, Venezuela, Wales, Turkey, Israel, South Africa.
So here's my photo story of the weekend. Once again thank you to Original Fuzz for being the #1 dudes and helping me get down there. I hope to see all of you next year on the Ranch.

I'm in the process of updating my website! I've switched hosting services because the one I was using previously was a PAIN to edit, so nothing ever got updated! Now I have this blog section and everything will be freshly up to date!
