0:13

What's up , what's up everybody .

0:15

It's me , Anuhea , your

0:18

girl back for . Just keep jamming

0:20

the podcast . We're calling

0:23

this version 3.0 . We're

0:25

calling it the third season . I

0:28

might have made mention of a third season

0:30

in our last season , but this is the real third

0:32

season . We are so excited to

0:34

be back here episode like 32

0:37

that we're recording here together . And

0:39

I have a Zoom room full

0:42

of awesome Patreon people . What's up you guys

0:44

Shouting them out ? They're all

0:46

waving . Hi everybody . I

0:48

love you guys . Anyway , if

0:50

you're just listening for the first time , I

0:53

will give you the breakdown . My name is Anuhea

0:55

. I am a musician from the

0:57

island of Maui in Hawaii , but I've been living

0:59

here on the big island in Kailua Kona

1:02

for the past 10 years . I

1:04

am a mom of an awesome

1:06

, energetic , hilarious

1:08

nine-year-old , almost going to be 10-year-old

1:10

, and he's in the room right now playing VR

1:13

. So if you hear any screaming , just know

1:15

he's having a blast playing Gorilla

1:17

Tag and I'm here

1:20

in my living room on

1:22

a random school night because mom

1:24

life is very real . But I am balancing

1:27

the awesomeness of a music

1:30

career in Hawaii with motherhood

1:32

and also sharing and

1:34

being open and vulnerable and , of course

1:36

, advocating for mental health along

1:38

the way . So this podcast

1:40

is all about keeping it real and

1:43

having fun . There are no

1:45

rules , just honest conversation

1:47

about life . In each episode

1:49

, a special guest and I will talk about a different

1:51

topic and share our thoughts and opinions

1:53

and also some insight from

1:55

the lessons that we've all learned . This episode

1:58

is more of a recap . We're not going to have an official

2:00

special guest more . That will happen on every other

2:02

episode . But we all know

2:04

that life is hard sometimes . But

2:06

it's all about the journey and we

2:08

have to keep moving forward . Aka

2:10

just keep jamming . If you also

2:12

didn't know , just keep jamming is the name of one of my

2:14

songs . I wrote it shortly after

2:17

the pandemic hit and I just

2:19

really needed to feel like I wasn't alone

2:21

in the struggles I was going with , and music

2:23

can get you through the darkest time . So

2:25

that's why this message

2:28

of just keep jamming , just keep moving forward , means

2:30

so much to me . I wrote some goals

2:32

for the podcast . My goals

2:34

are to keep listeners

2:36

connected and engaged

2:39

in a safe , supportive space

2:41

. So when

2:43

I say connected and engaged , I mean I want

2:45

to be consistent with the

2:47

release of these podcast episodes

2:49

, not just for your entertainment

2:52

value or just something to do Like

2:54

for real . I've noticed over the past year

2:56

. This weekly or

2:59

bi-weekly connection that

3:01

I make with others , even

3:03

just talking , is so beneficial

3:06

, at least for me personally

3:08

, and I just

3:10

need to get it out . I feel like I could be a better leader

3:12

. I can be a better person on

3:15

this platform that I am if I

3:17

take the time to just speak my

3:19

truth and connect with people every single

3:22

week , because there are times when I don't

3:24

have gigs or if I don't

3:26

have my son for a few nights in a row or something

3:28

, I don't even speak to a single person

3:30

In my house . I'm locked up and

3:32

I end up getting recluse and weird

3:34

and I turn into awkward , anu , and

3:37

that's when some other weird

3:39

mental health stuff starts happening or you

3:41

start drinking too much . So I just want

3:43

to keep this avenue of communication

3:45

open with all of you guys , and

3:47

if you guys like to listen , perfect , but

3:50

also if you want to talk with me , there will be opportunities

3:52

that you guys can talk story to , and I'll share more

3:54

of those later . Another

3:57

goal is to be open , honest

4:00

and transparent about my

4:02

feelings and opinions , and

4:04

I want to encourage whoever we're speaking with

4:06

to also do the same . So

4:09

so often

4:13

we listen to podcasts , or even in

4:15

Hawaii , I'll say we have

4:17

to abide by the perfect

4:19

thing to say . Like my high school Kamaama

4:21

, you had to speak perfect English

4:24

and pronounce

4:26

the words correctly and have the no

4:28

pause clauses in between words and dress

4:31

appropriately , and all of this . It

4:33

is how I was raised , but that's not

4:35

what I want this podcast to be

4:37

. I want to not hold back what I really

4:39

feel . If I don't like guns , I want

4:41

to be able to talk about that , but it doesn't

4:44

mean we have to not be friends because

4:46

of it . I want this to be a way that

4:48

we can be ourselves . I can speak

4:50

my truth , you can too , but

4:52

we know how to continue to get along even

4:54

if there's differences , and I think that

4:56

with us sharing and being honest

5:00

and open , we can find a lot

5:02

of more similarities than we think

5:04

are possible . Another

5:06

goal of mine was to provide valuable

5:08

takeaways and lessons for

5:10

everyday life . Yeah , little golden

5:13

nuggets of wisdom , as we quickly

5:16

named that little segment . We just

5:18

want whoever we're interviewing to

5:21

have a final statement at the end

5:23

and something that we can take with us

5:25

the rest of the week or the two weeks that we're not going to

5:27

see each other , something that we can apply to our

5:29

lives really . And

5:31

then , of course , the goal is to promote mental health

5:33

awareness , which will foster a

5:35

positive change in the world . It

5:39

seems really silly

5:43

sometimes , like when I was signing into this I

5:45

told all these Patreon peeps in the zoom room

5:47

like , oh my gosh , my eyelashes weren't

5:49

cooperating with me earlier . Like

5:52

what in the hell am I saying ? Like there are literally

5:54

people getting murdered , like as

5:56

we speak , and like complaining about something that

5:58

stupid seems so dumb . Oh

6:01

my god , I'm already getting emotional , but I

6:03

don't want that to hold us back from continuing

6:06

to move forward in life . Like again

6:08

, the just keep jamming . We have to do

6:10

our lives . When the

6:12

Maui fires hit , it was so devastating

6:14

I felt like I couldn't even be happy

6:17

or pretend to be happy on

6:19

social media , because a lot of people

6:21

were like , how could you be happy in a time like this ? But

6:24

you know , we can feel the feelings

6:26

, we can cry the tears , but we have to keep

6:28

moving forward and that's a really big message

6:30

for me . We have to , we have to move

6:33

on and be strong so we can help

6:35

others . Aloha thyself is the point

6:37

of that . And

6:40

then when we talk about that

6:42

mental health awareness , the consciousness

6:44

of not getting sucked into

6:46

depression , of you

6:49

know , the self-care practices , that we learn

6:51

how to cope to make our mental

6:53

health positive and healthy

6:56

I believe we can make

6:58

this world a better place , like for

7:00

real . I always say this quote , it's like

7:02

one of my favorites . It's Mother Theresa

7:04

, you want to make the world a

7:06

better place like go home and

7:08

raise your kids , like go love your kids

7:10

. I really I mean

7:12

she didn't say it like that , she said it probably way

7:15

nicer and cooler , but that's really

7:17

important to me . So I only have one

7:19

, but I think that that's a big struggle

7:21

and it might be a conversation we might

7:24

have in another podcast that balancing

7:26

of like work and motherhood

7:28

. I

7:31

struggle with it every day . I wish I could just stay home

7:33

and raise my kid and make sure

7:35

he's the best human possible

7:37

, but you know you have one life to live too

7:39

. So I just want

7:41

to make sure that that's talked about

7:43

at some point , because we can make

7:45

the world a better place with our

7:48

children . Okay , after

7:51

recording 31 episodes , I'm

7:53

thrilled to be back and I want to make

7:56

a positive impact through the power

7:58

of connection and I'm excited to see what this podcast

8:00

would take us

8:05

. Okay , I

8:07

want to start

8:10

. My main topic of

8:12

conversation believe it or not , we didn't even start it yet

8:14

is like my

8:16

little golden nugget thing is starting

8:19

all over again . Starting

8:21

all over again . It's gonna

8:23

be tough

8:26

on us , but we're gonna make it . No

8:29

, that was a braddah IZ song, but I

8:32

feel like this is a new beginning , for

8:34

whatever reason , and nothing really

8:36

extremely different happened

8:39

in the past couple weeks , but

8:41

I felt like there was something changing

8:43

. I mean , maybe you guys , astrologists out there

8:46

, like oh yes , because so-and-so is in Mercury

8:48

retrograde and all this . Maybe that's why , but

8:50

I felt something . I literally woke

8:53

up the other day and like had this

8:55

energy to work

8:57

again , like to get after it again

9:00

. I shifted

9:02

my entire living room around

9:04

like 180 I don't know why like

9:06

unplugged all my shut , put it on the other wall

9:09

, made my L shape couch by myself

9:11

on my rug , put it all the

9:13

other way , like and it's so new and

9:15

exciting , just the rearranging furniture . I

9:18

also took my hair . I went like this

9:20

with some scissors and I just chopped it the fuck

9:22

off . And now I feel like a new

9:24

person , like it's just , it's crazy like

9:26

the little things you can do

9:29

to really make you feel like

9:31

something's new and exciting in your life

9:33

. I

9:35

I was about

9:37

to quit music , basically like

9:39

a couple months ago , like I just really

9:41

needed a break . I felt like I

9:43

was and I've always shared this with you guys

9:45

we're like working too

9:47

hard , but I don't know if I did read that Sagittarius

9:50

is might have this like jumping from one

9:52

thing to another . I mean , that's

9:54

what Sandy told me Sandy , my astrologist

9:57

, guess from a few episodes back . But

9:59

yeah , like I'm , I get bored , like I'm

10:02

not bored of music , but I'm just kind of over

10:04

it , like I want to explore another passion

10:07

or something different , you know , and that's

10:09

why I thought maybe I this was my time

10:11

to take a break . I had been trying

10:13

to finish writing

10:16

and releasing my album , but

10:18

like that was that has been so

10:21

on my mind and on my to-do

10:23

list or whatever , but I just like couldn't

10:26

get it done . I could not freaking

10:28

do it and I'm like , is this a sign

10:30

, like maybe I'm I shouldn't rush it ? Is

10:32

this a sign that maybe I need to just slow

10:35

down the pace and like start

10:38

all over again with with a new career

10:41

. Or is this a

10:43

sign from God saying how

10:45

bad do you want it ? And

10:47

I always share that story

10:49

about me in San Francisco , when

10:53

I moved there when I was 19

10:56

and my car broke down

10:58

on the Golden Gate Bridge and or

11:00

when I was 20 , cargo broke down on the Golden Gate Bridge

11:02

, someone broke in my car and stole my computer

11:04

and I didn't have a place to live

11:06

. Like all this shitty stuff was happening to me and

11:08

I'm like is this a sign I should just go back home

11:10

with my tail between my legs ? Or is this a

11:13

sign like God saying like , girl , you

11:15

want it , it's gonna be . This is the easiest thing I'm gonna

11:17

throw at you for a while now ? And

11:19

I chose the latter and

11:21

I wrote the song fly about that

11:23

exact same . Like every knock you take

11:26

is an opportunity to fly . Like the

11:29

universe conspires to assist you . Universe

11:32

aka God , aka

11:34

the energies of all the friends and people that you're like

11:36

, that you love , and your ancestors , everybody

11:38

. The universe conspires to assist

11:41

and

11:43

making dreams realities for those

11:45

who persist . And then I go on to say and

11:47

those who deserve it , and not

11:49

saying that anyone is more deserving

11:51

than another . It's up to us to

11:53

decide if we deserve it or not , and I think

11:56

it's the ones who stick it out . And that's

11:58

why I'm like , hey , no , I'm not gonna . I have

12:00

these beautiful half written songs . My

12:02

dad just passed away . I haven't written a song about

12:04

him yet . I'm gonna make sure I do that

12:07

. I'm gonna do that and once that's done , I'm

12:09

gonna release a body of work that I'm gonna be proud

12:11

of . I'm not gonna think about accolades

12:14

and like the Hoku Hanohano Awards

12:16

, because that shit fucking messes with me

12:18

. Like , oh , if I release it in this month

12:20

, who's gonna be up against me for C-Milville ? I'm

12:22

like I freaking hate it . Like , just do the

12:25

artistry and do you boo , boo . And

12:28

so that was my final decision . I figured

12:30

out ways to start all over again , while

12:32

staying on this path and not giving up . So

12:35

I guess that's my golden nugget to

12:37

take it all back and

12:39

digest it back out to you . Yeah

12:43

, like , don't give up . Really

12:46

, think about how

12:48

bad do you want it ? And if you

12:50

need to do something to make some

12:52

changes in your life , to

12:55

inspire you again , to inspire

12:58

you again , take that trip , cut

13:00

that hair , get

13:03

the Botox , yeah

13:06

, just do it . And I think

13:08

that a lot of cool shit will happen

13:10

if you do that . And

13:13

another thing I wanted to say

13:15

, a little quote

13:17

by Maya

13:19

Angelou A

13:22

bird doesn't sing because it has an answer

13:24

. It sings because it has a song

13:26

. A bird doesn't sing

13:28

because it has an answer . It sings

13:31

because it has a song . I'm

13:33

sick of my own voice talking right now

13:35

and I wanna like throw up some to say who am

13:37

I talking like ? What is this Diarrhea of the mom ? I'm

13:39

just talking . I don't have the answers

13:41

. Why are you guys listening to me ? Like

13:44

? That's what I'm thinking right now . But

13:46

A reading that quote makes me know

13:48

I'm not singing because I know all the answers

13:50

. I'm just singing because I have a song . If I'm the one

13:53

who has the guts to actually be

13:55

weird and vulnerable , then cool . That was

13:57

my role for this world . But

13:59

I wanna support everybody else who has

14:01

their roles and if they wanna do the same

14:03

thing , please do Like

14:05

. I just have a song . I don't

14:07

have the answer , I just got a song . I'm gonna put

14:10

that in a song . I'm sure somebody did . Anyway

14:13

, come say hi , my special guest has arrived

14:15

. He's

14:21

sweaty . Oh my

14:23

God you're so . Oh my God you're

14:25

so sweaty . Who wants to say

14:27

hi ? I think Sharon

14:29

will say hi .

14:31

Say hi Hi .

14:33

Hi , kenna , she

14:35

was the one in Seattle . Anyway

14:38

, kenna , I'm gonna ask you three questions

14:40

. Okay , ken , what is your

14:42

favorite color ?

14:45

Red .

14:46

Oh yeah , who's

14:49

your favorite football team Chiefs

14:51

? Oh my gosh

14:54

. Okay , His homework

14:56

tonight was to ask Patrick

14:58

Mahomes a bunch of questions . Ask

15:02

any celebrity , your celebrity of choice

15:04

questions , and in those questions you had

15:06

to use your spelling words . I thought that was pretty creative

15:08

. So he was interviewing

15:10

Mahomes . And

15:13

question number three from Auntie Sharon go

15:15

for it .

15:17

Can you sing us a rap ? I

15:20

love your name , Ikena J . I'm

15:23

the biggest rapping boy in all of Hawaii nei

15:24

. I want to say a lot

15:27

, but I forget .

15:29

I forget . Hello , my name

15:31

is Ikena J . I'm the baddest rapping

15:33

boy in all of Hawaii . That's

15:36

it and mic drop . Okay

15:38

, thank you , my son . You're

15:41

really heavy and you're really sweaty .

15:43

Thank you Ikena !

15:45

Thank you , son . Okay

15:48

, I also

15:51

wanted to have

15:54

a section of this podcast every

15:56

week that talks about

15:58

one of my favorite things , which is

16:00

wine . Does

16:03

anyone have wine out there right now ? I

16:05

see some of my girls have this amazing

16:08

oh my God . There's like four of you with that wine

16:10

cup right now . Hell yeah , I

16:12

have this plastic wine cup that fits in

16:14

cup holders that I've taken off of

16:16

Amazon and made it my own merchandise

16:18

because I love it so much . But

16:21

I don't know , I have a love-hate relationship

16:23

with wine . Love it makes me feel a little

16:25

looser when I'm about to do a podcast , makes

16:28

me hit some notes that I wouldn't normally go for . Love

16:31

it because it tastes good and you can go to wine

16:34

country , which is like Disneyland for adults

16:36

, which I just went to a couple weeks back

16:38

with Marco , months ago with my girls . I

16:40

hate it because my teeth turn

16:42

purple Cheese . It

16:45

has a lot of sugar and calories and

16:48

it definitely can secretly

16:51

get you really , really drunk before

16:53

you even know it . It's one of these creeper kind

16:55

drunks and the headache is

16:58

very real the next morning with the sugar

17:00

and but whatever

17:02

, I started a wine

17:05

like party company with

17:07

some friends of mine during the

17:09

pandemic . I was so bored

17:11

and very lost

17:13

and we all had this thing wine

17:16

in common that we loved . So

17:18

we had a Somalian training and some people who owned a

17:20

restaurant , and then little me , which just

17:22

loves wine and has a lot of social media followers

17:25

. So we started a company and

17:27

I'm still like detangling the

17:29

LLC part and the fricking tax

17:31

shed . Don't start a business with your friends . It's

17:34

so annoying , but we had so much

17:36

fun during the pandemic . We put in that

17:38

labor of love . I made the logos

17:40

, I made the website , we did

17:42

tickets and we had it was like 40 people

17:44

max per events because

17:46

that was all you could do and it was like social distancing

17:49

during the pandemic . It was so frustrating

17:51

, but we made it work and we had live music , we had

17:53

food , poo-poo . It was so cool . So

17:55

shout out to my Kona Wine Nights partners . I

17:57

talked about them a lot in my early days of the podcast

18:00

, but I do still love wine . But

18:02

this podcast we are going to talk about

18:05

a wine of the week . Every week I

18:07

used to do this before , keeping it real

18:09

, maintaining the aloha . This

18:11

week it is a wine

18:13

called Josh , not

18:16

just regular Josh , but this

18:18

is Josh Reserve

18:21

Cabernet Sauvignon . It

18:23

is from Josh Sellers . It

18:26

is a reserve bourbon barrel aged

18:29

Cabernet Sauvignon . They put the wine in

18:31

a whisky barrel or bourbon barrel

18:33

so it has a little extra bite to it

18:35

. I have found that these

18:38

types of wines

18:40

, when they put them in that little extra , it is so

18:42

sneaky . I'm feeling it

18:44

right now . It

18:47

is among the top three wines in

18:49

the world . It is

18:51

very bold . The words

18:53

that they use are smoke , leather

18:56

, earthy , oak , vanilla , caramel

18:58

. I don't know . Let's

19:00

just all have a little taste of whatever

19:02

wine you're drinking . Cheers

19:04

everybody . I need a proper

19:06

wine glass for proper tasting , so

19:13

you're going to see swirl

19:16

, smell , then

19:19

sip . That is

19:21

what we told people to do

19:24

at the corner wine nights and I made like

19:26

a little cartoon instruction for

19:28

them . Anyway

19:31

, moving forward , so one of the week

19:33

, josh , yes , josh , cabernet is on the air and

19:35

check it out . It's 18 . 99 . It wasn't

19:37

18 . 99 at my gas station . It

19:39

was a little more than that . I

19:41

also wanted to have a section in this podcast where

19:43

we talk about something

19:45

charitable . It could fall under

19:48

the aloha thyself or

19:50

aloha always foundation kind of umbrella

19:52

, but I want to highlight something that

19:54

we can do to give back to

19:57

those in need . So there's

19:59

so much happening . That's right , especially

20:02

like right now . As

20:05

we know , this war just kicked

20:07

off big time . I

20:09

can't even I didn't even watch the news this morning I'm like

20:11

not again . Like , not again . Maui

20:14

was just . Lahaina was just

20:16

decimated . That was one of the towns

20:18

that I grew up in . I

20:21

started playing music there and it's just flattened

20:23

to the ground and so many people lost everything

20:25

. So we've been doing a lot to help Maui . We

20:28

did a big fundraiser in Kona and

20:30

I helped make the merchandise for it and

20:32

performed at it , and we ended up raising $50,000

20:36

just with a small group of people that

20:38

we're going to give directly to the families . So

20:41

that was really rewarding . But

20:43

yeah , you guys all know it feels so good to

20:45

get back . So I really want to have a section in

20:48

each podcast that we shout out

20:50

one particular , whether it's a charity

20:52

, whether it's a specific family

20:54

that was affected by the fires , or

20:57

share an inspiring story from

20:59

somebody that we can do something

21:01

for . The holidays are coming up

21:03

too , and we're so

21:05

blessed and we're so lucky to even have a computer in front

21:07

of our faces right now . For now I

21:09

do have links on my website , anuhiajamscom

21:12

, that has links to directly how to

21:14

donate to the people of Maui , because

21:16

they are still struggling and

21:19

they just opened up Lahaina

21:21

town again for

21:23

tourism and a lot of people are

21:25

opposed to that . They're not ready yet . They

21:30

don't want their burnt down house to be

21:32

a spectacle for tourists to drive past and

21:34

look at . But there are also people who have

21:36

businesses that really need to

21:38

not go out of business . So it's a tricky

21:40

situation and I do

21:43

feel for our government officials in

21:45

this hard time because it feels like you can't do anything

21:47

right , and I do not envy your position

21:49

. I do pray for them

21:51

to make the right ones . Melanie

21:54

said we do a gift card drive at the salon

21:56

for Christmas . I

21:58

still want to help the young girls in Hawaii get sanitary

22:01

items too . Yes , I can connect you with

22:03

the MA'I movement . These

22:05

women have been doing this well before

22:08

any of these fires , but they're trying to

22:10

make period poverty

22:13

a thing of the past . Every girl deserves to

22:15

have good fitting pads

22:17

and tampons . I know it might be gross to the boys , but

22:19

no , it's a real thing , because how many of us

22:21

I mean our paper

22:23

towels is all that you could do , but hey

22:25

, we're trying to keep it real . We don't deserve that , we

22:28

deserve better . So , period , poverty bye-bye

22:30

, and that's something that a lot

22:32

of people might forget about too . And

22:34

then Maui Food Bank , maui Human Society absolutely

22:37

, I've donated to both of them already

22:39

and I used to go

22:41

to the Maui Human Society , like when I was a

22:43

kid . They could use all the help they

22:45

can get . Anyway

22:53

, as we move forward , I also

22:55

just wanted to maybe

22:57

suggest I'm hearing you guys' feedback Do

23:00

we have a favorite song of the week ? Maybe

23:02

we reach out or have somebody designated

23:04

each week to share what

23:07

their favorite song is ? I know if Todd was in

23:09

here he's one of our other patrons . He always

23:11

has a song . You've got to listen to this song . I

23:13

want that from maybe some of our loyal people

23:15

. So

23:18

, is anyone in this room right now

23:20

? Can anyone come up with a song that

23:22

they've just been jamming to , that they can't get enough

23:25

of and want to share ? Because

23:27

I'll put it on the Just Keep Jamming Spotify

23:30

playlist if your

23:32

song gets highlighted , don't

23:35

be shy . Yes , girl , what you jamming to .

23:39

So the Judds love can build a

23:41

bridge .

23:44

Oh yeah , they sang

23:47

grandpa .

23:47

Right , they sang grandpa . But

23:50

you know , my middle son

23:52

got married over the weekend . When I was

23:54

driving them to the venue

23:57

that came on the radio and it actually

24:00

had all three of us kind of crying , and when

24:02

I dropped them off at the airport the next morning , so

24:04

really old song . And I dropped them off

24:06

at the airport the next morning , they went to Hawaii and

24:09

it came on the radio . So

24:11

I don't know it just kind of is sticking

24:13

with me .

24:14

It's meant to be . I love it so

24:16

much .

24:17

Its a jam . It's not , it's just

24:19

, it's a Judds old classic and

24:21

it's actually really , when there is kind

24:23

of chaos and crappy unrest

24:25

in the world , love

24:27

can build a bridge . Yay .

24:30

Let's take a moment , just a short moment . Sorry

24:33

, I have to out of the middle . That's

25:03

beautiful , good

25:06

suggestion . I'm totally adding that

25:08

. So the Just Keep Jamming playlist on

25:10

Spotify . I haven't updated that

25:12

in a long time , so

25:14

I'm excited to get some new fresh tunes out there

25:17

, especially since we're hitting the road

25:19

again pretty soon , which brings

25:21

me to my next subject . We are going on

25:23

the road . I just announced today that all is

25:25

bright tour Only six shows this

25:27

time . I'm going less and less

25:30

every year so I'm going to do a couple of like secret private ones

25:32

too that

25:34

we'll have the details on . But

25:36

yeah , we're going on the all is bright tour . It

25:39

is an annual tour that I've been doing for

25:41

like five years now . I

25:44

still have yet to decide on the opening act

25:46

slash special guest , but

25:48

that's always an exciting announcement . But this year

25:51

, friday December 8th will be in Portland whoop

25:54

whoop Saturday the 9th in Bremerton , washington

25:56

. Sunday December 10th happens

25:58

to be my birthday . I'm

26:01

going to be in Boise , idaho

26:03

again . For two years

26:05

in a row I end up in Boise , idaho Very

26:07

cool , I love it . The people are super kind

26:10

. It was snowing last time we were there . It

26:12

was our last show of the tour last year

26:14

and I was at my wits fricking end and

26:16

I could not wait to get home . I

26:18

was so sick we had to drive from Boise

26:21

all the way back to Portland to return the Bandago . This

26:23

year I'm excited to redeem myself . We're

26:25

in Boise on a Sunday night , two

26:28

days off after that , and it's

26:30

like so I can be potentially hungover

26:32

the next day , sleep in leisurely

26:35

, drive to the next place , which is

26:37

Sacramento . California

26:39

. Love the place . So many fans out

26:41

there love that . That's why we can play there

26:43

on a Wednesday . So Wednesday the

26:45

13th in Sacktown at the awesome

26:47

venue Goldfield Trading Post , and

26:51

then there might be a little something

26:53

in San Francisco on that Thursday the 14th

26:55

. But Friday the 15th we are definitely

26:58

going to be in Lake Tahoe at

27:00

the Harrah's Casino . We play at

27:02

the Harris in San Diego every year , but

27:05

never been to the Harrah's in Lake

27:07

Tahoe . See

27:09

what happens . We will not be driving

27:12

from Lake Tahoe to San Diego , so

27:15

we will be returning the vehicle and

27:17

then we will be flying to

27:19

San Diego and there might be another opportunity

27:22

for a private something meet and

27:24

greet , vip experience , maybe something

27:26

to do with food . I have

27:28

a lot of friends who are chefs in that area , so
