hallo loves!!!

i haven't sent you all some weirdness in a while and this backstage is just the most fucking lovely EVER. we're playing in the crystal ballroom in portland tonight....and this place is just out of control. read this article about the BOUNCING DANCE (seriously, it's like walking on a springy mattress!!!) floor and the history of music being banned here:

i've played here FOUR TIMES. i just fucking love this place, and all gorgeous wedding-cake-dance-like venues like this with history....

so here's a small photographic tour of our greenroom.

there is an amazing place called voodoo doughnut in portland. they sent this cake. it's AMAZING. also, once they had robitussin donuts. i don't know if they still do.

a nice mess.

where we sit.

ALL LOCAL ALL ORGANIC

my set list and some cheat notes for the ride:

i used to write new cheat notes every night, and then i was like WHY?

SO I BOUGHT A FOLDER and now i re-use them. 

i started three nights ago needing a ton of them.

i've pared it down to the ride for tonight. 

for the real ass tour in 2019, no notes.

i have promised myself.

hitting stage. i love you all.

thank you for being my patrons.

oh and i just found this in my show bag. it must be leftover from a tour like 1 year ago when ash still played with things like this:
