WOW!!!!....What a time in Washington State....I do not even know where to start. We arrived in Seattle Washington Wednesday around noon to find the limo waiting on us to take us to the Skagit Casino where we were scheduled to playFriday and Saturday nights. When we arrived at the casino we were greated by one of the Most awesome people in the world "Diana Bussing" the Entertainment director for the Skagit Casino. Diana had us all checked in and ready. We immediatley through are clothes in our rooms and shot right down fto the casino where we enjoyed the great food from the deli. While we were waiting on our food from the deli i quickly one thrity dollars in about three minutes. After the food I returned to gambling and it was all down hill from there....As I was WAY down for the night, I called it a night and went to bed.

Thursday rolled around and we had to get up real early to start our trip around Seattle Washington with our AWESOME tour guides Seriously Benda, the MAN Don, and the Beautiful and funny Kimmy....Brenda immediatley to us to the Pike Street Market where we received the oppurtunity to watch the people throw the fish and catch them....That was AWESOME....After the Market, we did some walking around downtown Seattle and then Brenda and Don treated the whole band (along with Jessica and Ali) to lunch at the Crab Pot (I highly recmmend this place)!!!! Next we drove up to the Space Needle where we went to the top and looked over Seattle and the water....What a view!!!! I was so excited because for the first time in my life I got to see a plane land on water....That was to cool!!!l After a long day in Seattle we headed back to the Casino where we meet the lovely Diana for dinner and had some good times with Rocky and Kristine at Karokee....

Friday was a very busy and tiresome day....That morning we meet Diana at 8:30 am to head to the radio station for our interview on KAPS radio station with Mike in the Morning....the interview was Awesome. We hurried back to the hotel to pick up some stragglers in the band to eat some breakfast and head out King Salmon fishing with Mike in the Morning....The radio station had chartered 2 boats for all of us to go out on. To make a long Fishing trip story short....We caught no King Salmon fish and only two Dollies, But the scenary was AWESOME!!!! I saw my first Volcano (Mt. Baker) and was totally stoked by that.... As we headed back to the casino for sound check I was dead tired. I needed a nap and knew i was not coming soon enough. After sound check we went to the "Berry Dairy Days" somewhere around the Casino, where we ate some BBQ Salmon....I was great!!!! I knew at that point that my nap was just around the corner. I immediately went to sleep for an hour back at the hotel, woke up and did the show at the Winner's Lounge. When the show was over I went to my room and went to sleep....

I think I am about to fall asleep so I will finish this Journal entry tomorrow....
