Yesterday was spent hanging with some new homies who all treated me like I was an old friend. We went to a tasty vegetarian restaurant where I was served avocado after making sure if wouldn't be in my salad. I didn't die though so maybe I need to sit down and test this supposed allergy so I can stop bumming people out when they find out i don't eat it. Also the restaurant definitely had a krishna thing going on so I hopefully I escaped without consuming milk...fuck krishna and his love of cow rape. I have no idea why this is a hater post so far because the food was delicious and the cute waitress gave me some chocolate to apologize. I got a nice nap in later on and then the dudes took me around for a walk around bogota. Its a nice enough city but the pollution is a bit overwhelming and I haven't had a chance to see the part that is suppose to be charming as the guide books say.
Eventually we went to the airport to pick up Dalbec and than back to our sweet three bedroom apartment in a quite fancy part of town. The rest of bane came in a couple hours later and we all crashed pretty early.
So today started after a good 8 hour night of sleep on some couch cushions on the floor. Another dude named tutu (I have no idea of that's how he spells it) came over with willy and he speaks great English so he's been our little tour guide. He's also vegan straight edge so I'm pretty psyched for that. For some reason nobody really wants to take us to any traditional places so we somehow winded up at a mall today. My worst nightmare of hanging with hardcore kids came true. We got out quick though because nine of us wanted to be there and we were hungry. Again we somehow winded up at a hamburger joint in another mall but this one had a pretty delicious falafel sandwich so we ate up.
shit this is going way too slow.
next up was the weird idea to have a autograph signing session at a tattoo shop. It didn't wind up being that awkward so we hung there for a couple hours and kids got their baniacism on. After the autograph sesh we went to some overpriced pizza spot for some mediocre pizza. Definitely not worthy of www.whatveganseat.wordpress.com
around 10 there was a secret show at a small practice space where about 75 kids packed into a little room and bane killed it. it was definitely fun but oddly kids bought merch at the autograph session but not at this show. we also had the craziest taxi ride of my life to that show where i told zach we should definitely get out of the cab because i thought we were gonna get killed.
we headed back to the apartment for a good nights sleep at our swank place. woke up around 11 and got ready for the matinee show today. they picked us up and brought us to the venue which was awesome. perfect sized stage, double level balconies on both sides, and full of little hardcore kids. the show started around 2 and a bunch of local bands played that i didnt watch and than reconcile from argentina (maybe) who were on tour with and than bane. it was definitely one of the craziest shows i have ever seen with bane and i had a blast. apparently its gonna only get crazier so this tour is gonna be a blast. the girls at the show were super cute so i guess that is going to have to make up for me not making any tips on this tour.
alright were back at the apartment now and chilling for a couple of hours before we head to medellin which is an 8 hour drive through the mountains. minus the lack of any real colombian food and early nights this tour is bumping so far.
