Some old friends of mine from Portland have a great new band called Ape Shape. They just came through town on a west coast tour opening for Built to Spill, playing three sold-out shows at Slim's.

I put some of them up and was able to spend some time hanging out with everyone. We went to the shows and played some basketball up in Corona Heights park. Overall, just fun.

Life on rock tour has a very different cadence from my life now. I sometimes miss it; it was nice to experience a little bit of it vicariously.

Here are some pictures.
