MIDWEST - SSION TOUR PHOTOS

I'm really thankful that two core members in Ssion are still in high school. Those kids can get their hands on the best drugs. We all took a bunch of Adderall and proceeded to silkscreen 250 T-shirts five hours before we left for tour. We all felt fierce and A-L-I-V-E until the comedown on our drive to Springfield. I started to cry when my mom called.

Ssion: Kurt (age 29), Cody (age 25), Zach (age 17), Albert (age 16)

I don't remember a lot about our first show except that the audience refused to stand up. Maybe it was because we were playing in a coffee shop and most of the people who showed up thought we were a traveling hippie performance artshow. We sold a ton of merch that night and our tortured/transitioning keyboardist was given a cute pair of control top black tights, which he has yet to take off.

We played with Plack Blague in Lincoln, Nebraska. They were E-mazing! We took acid with them right before they played! I saw God several times and she looked identical to Sheryl Crow trapped in a gay man's body. Oh and God was also wearing Gaultier cologne!

Kianna Reeves from Tilly and the Wall came out to our show in Lincoln. She hooked us up with some Juicy Couture Jeans. (They were all too big.)

Oh yeah, The Woman didn't come on this tour cuz she's been too busy perfecting "the face of bitch."

This painting was our payment for the show in Lincoln. I was thrilled but the rest of the band was pissed!

On our way to Chicago to get gay with CSS!
