and hanging out with my friend Emily Sterling, who's doing Teach for America and living in Glendale. I've known her since my days at the University of Puget Sound, and it was awesome to hang out with her once again and catch up on everything.
Then came the big night, and it was utterly incredible. The opener was a rather low-key instrumental band by the name of the Parachutes.
Who were followed by the icelandic band Sigur Ros.
While their set started off a little loud and convoluted, it soon became more structured and upbeat as they transitioned into a bonafide rock show.
All in all it was quite the experience, and they certainly played a full fledged set that highlighted the bands discography.
After another night spent with our couchsurfing friend Olivia it was time to get back on the road. It wasn't easy though, as my front pannier got torn off by a firehydrant and Nick's wheel kept rupturing the valve stem. We got both items fixed and working again- but it cost us plenty of needed time. In the end we hunkered down near a field in the southern region of Phoenix, and were woken very early by a tractor- at least we got to see the sunrise...
