Going to jail...

Relax parentals, none of us got arrested (yet), but we did jump on the ferry to Alcatraz for our first official bit of touristy stuff. Very cool, if you ever go, get the audio tour with the headphones, very cool way to do it. As we arrived at "The Rock" there was a very light fog building, and by the time we left, the fog was that thick you couldn't see 5 meters in front of you.

You don't make friends with salad...

So after competing in what seemed like some sort of "Burgerthon" since arriving in the states, I did something I never thought I would do, order something from the salad menu. After leaving a night club here in San Fran that I can only describe as the very very ugly sister of Melbourne's Icon Bar from another Galaxy, we dropped in to a late night food spot. I didn't want to do it, but in the famous words of R. Kelly, my mind was telling me no, but my body was telling me yes. A chicken salad was ordered... I've changed...

I'm so Hollywood...

Dressing up to go out in Hollywood is pretty standard, paying extra money to skip the line at the club is pretty standard, tipping the waitress a few extra dollars to get those drinks a little stronger is pretty standard, getting kicked out of the club and falling asleep in the hotel room doorway, that's Doing It Live...

Santa Monica...

So we took a drive in "Van Damme" down to Santa Monica, very cool place. Checked the Nike store, boys picked up some stuff, checked out the pier, took some photos, by this point we were all very hungry. We were trying to find somewhere for dinner, somewhere classy, upmarket, something to give us a bit of a different selection from all these burgers we have been eating. We came across this one place, and all prerequisites went out the window, as you can see...

Tip This...

So it seems you have to tip every single person here in the states, it costs you a dollar every time you want to go to the toilet! Saw this guy dressed as a Transformer so thought it was a good photo op, pose like a champ, get the photo, cost me 2 dollars.

A Fish Named Derek...

First NBA game I've ever been to, cross town rival, and it went down to the final shot. As you can see, we lost our shiz...

Let Me Upgrade You...

Beyonce must be one of the "Do It Live Tour" gods, because we were upgraded. Thanks Jigga's wifey. For the Clippers v Lakers game we were meant to be in the 300 section, at the very top, but our good friend Ashley at the Clippers hooked us up in the Press seating. Staples Centre is bananas.

Maybe it is a crack den?

Spoke too soon... Massive flooding of the toilet, ankle deep in LA toilet water... Love it. Off to Lakers vs Clippers!

L.A.YO...

Touchdown in LA this morning at 7am, zero sleep on the plane, but flight was pretty uneventful. Pick up our whip for the next week, a black minivan we have called "Van Damme." Have I taken so wrong turns and ended up driving into on-coming traffic? Most definitely. Arrived at our accom in Hollywood, and was not the crack den I was thinking it was going to be. For $20 each a night, it's pretty decent. Severe lack of sleep will hopefully not prevent us all from Doing It Live on our first night in LA.

Missing flights...

So as you can see, we are at Sydney airport minus 2 people, Patty and Brenton. Seriously, all they had to do was wake up. Get better...
Flight to LA boards in 5 mins, no sign of them yet. The Do It Live Tour may be rolling 3 deep for a while.

The Tour

Below is a map explaining the Do It Live USA Tour. First stop is LA where we will witness Blake Griffin taking on the Mamba, audition for some movies and crash a Lambo, then onto San Fran where bass guitarist "Cream" will join us, check out Alcatraz to try learn some escape techniques to use later in the trip, next is Portland where will be visiting Nike HQ, fist bumping Patty Mills and teaching locals the advantages of Kangaroo transport, onto Vegas for keyboardist "Patastrophe's" birthday, our drummer Zac Barry arrives and we will have complete loss of memory, NYC for Christmas and New Years and film our guest spot on Gossip Girl, and then Miami, fist pump like a champ, visit Kim Kardashian and try out for the Miami Heat. All in 30 days. Will try to keep this up to date as much as possible for our hometown fans.
