Despite driving through the night we made it to KSLug early. Gold recording artist Patrice "all about the love" Pike attempted to steal our thunder by showing up late and playing forever in the studio next door. Eventually we were forced to overpower her with our own brand of home-grown "hipster funk" and van-grown. . . funk. The on-air appearance went shockingly well, with only one awkward moment. We were caught off guard and fully unprepared for Jen Savage's question abut the origins of our band name. Where do they get this stuff? Jen, Monica, Craig and of course Larry, made it the best and first P3 on-air they've every done. They're super nice and JahMazing. As we were leaving, Larry from KHUM, the "no rules" sister station of KSLuG, invited Uni onto his show to talk about her album and the tour. She was well-received. Humbolt county sure likes their uke ("ook") players.

We crawled back into the van and the ten days worth of sleeping in crack dens, cat poop, porches, cemeteries, down by the river and most recently, in the deliciously fragrant van finally caught up with us. We decided it was time to reward ourselves with a stay at the luxurious Motel 6. The subsequent showers, naps and Cash Cab were also tour highlights. Unfortunately they didn't have wi-fi. Uni threw a tantrum. But we promised her wi-fi for dinner to quiet her down. Lost Coast Brewery's beer and internet were delicious. We also found Smiley "the Empathetic Spider".

While on the air, we heard that Weepel (a local Weezer cover band) had broken up and would not be performing at the show. This would not have been a first for the tour. We called them out repeatedly on the air, with Uni threatening to leave our dirty tightie whities on their front porch if they didn't show. They showed. It's possible that we also may have called-out the Bay Gaurdian. We don't remember.

Another small but appreciative crowd at the Accident Gallery. The first people to show up were a lovely couple who heard Uni on the air and loved the Uke. This was the second show on the tour where we were asked to sign autographs. They took beaucoup videos and photographs because they bring the crew. The Accident Gallery just so happened to be running an erotic art show featuring several images of women bending over chamber pots, wearing nipple clamps, and a jack-hammer dildo, which was sadly absent for our performance. Uni was also mysteriously absent for our performance. It had been a long tour. Uni sez: "sorey". We posed for a tour photo in front of a larger-than-life naked rendering of one of the owner's girlfriend. P3s show was effing moist, Stay in School was taken to new heights with the addition of aerial acrobatics. Sadly the stripper pole was not used. Uni has expressed interest in using the stripper pole next time. The most heart warming moment of the SuperFuntastiTour was the sharing of Jeff Foxworthy's Maple Brown Sugar Ham Jerky with the audience which we had saved for the grand finale. The entire audience bum rushed the stage in order to get a taste of natures bounty.

Weepel brought the noise with their harder core renditions of Weezer songs. Proving that they too were Independent and Adult and therefore do what they want, they forwent closing with Buddy Holly in favor of "Stars" by Hum, that apparently only made Steve happy. They were super nice guys who traded their cut of the door for mucho mercho. It was a fitting and enjoyable end to the Scrumdiddlyumtitous SuperfuntastiTour.
