'hello hurricane' is quickly becoming one of my new favorites live.<br /><br />the show tonight was honestly probably one of the best switchfoot shows i've seen in a long time. the crowd was so energetic and seemed to sing along even to the new songs they hadn't even heard yet! one of the highlights was singing happy birthday to our dear friend jerome. he even got a cake delivered on stage to him. party.<br /><br />afterwards, there was quite the mob out by the bus and jon and the guys went out and talked to as many people as they could. such a fun day north of the border.<br /><br />then of course there was the obligatory post-show 'waiting until we hit the US border' bus dance party. dj drew was on the ipod 1s and 2s and was laying it down. a few of drew's dance party staples: justice, jamie lidell, and junior senior. welcome back to america.andy barronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16297448797490332587noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900620845888896174.post-22675089610260234772009-06-19T08:37:00.000-07:002009-06-21T09:08:04.671-07:00alive fest, ohio.<a href="#" onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.switchfoot.com/dailyfoot/summer09/02/1.jpg','newwindow', 'target=_blank, toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=600,height=400');

When Tim arrived at customs in San Jose, Costa Rica he was carrying my bag, or atleast, what he thought was my bag. confidently, he nodded to the Costa Rican Customs Officer in response to, "is this your bag?" A sentence, i'm sure, that he'd like to retract at this juncture. Upon confirmation, they unzipped the beast to find some interesting items within. you know, A cake?! Some beans. some flour, which alerted a crew over to make sure it was just flour and not some powdered substance ... and a some perscription pills, all of which that where the property of someone else... The scene is mayhem. Here's the bag, gutted and bulging with the most random assortment of items, all peculiar and all partially, if not fully illegal, and here's Tim, right in the eye of the storm, trying to back his way out of it.<br /><br />Now, we are laughing about it. All is well. The sun is setting over the waves as they fall onto the beach in Tamarindo and people are refereing to me as "the baker." I do not normally bring cakes with me when i travel, but i might start.<br /><br />Costa Rica offered us a 6 hour drive through the jungled mountains, some amazing surf, refined coffee and the craziest plane ride ever onto the most desolate runway ever. (I shouldn't say desolate, there was a cow). A bull fight, as in actual bulls fighting, the way dogs do and lots of frolicking Iguanas. More surf was had, and pictures gathered. <br /><br />Peace and love.<br />Bobby the baker<br />aka, "cake and beans"bobbythebhivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13962632124113090532noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900620845888896174.post-10973168044438749192009-02-25T18:04:00.000-08:002009-02-25T18:12:05.018-08:00southern california, america.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFVOOZRoP8yBkM7NIokouOTVZz5vzeaiJ8pUAyqHPHo-_ePlQSPXCkffS4u6qm4pTSKBnUh5_JLXOszsYj0N3CiYbaSLHeVG9VZUB9uocVdkfvgwBx5p6G3jM91xXp3kagQxjvP-oI_M/s1600-h/IMG_4968.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFVOOZRoP8yBkM7NIokouOTVZz5vzeaiJ8pUAyqHPHo-_ePlQSPXCkffS4u6qm4pTSKBnUh5_JLXOszsYj0N3CiYbaSLHeVG9VZUB9uocVdkfvgwBx5p6G3jM91xXp3kagQxjvP-oI_M/s200/IMG_4968.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306921646648372882" /></a> well hello daily footees. the guys are up here in my neck of the woods working on new songs. they have been hashing and cutting and chopping. no song is safe. frontrunners are now on the backburner. new songs are taking the lead as favorites. it's pretty crazy.<br /><br />in case any of that makes you nervous, just know that new switchfoot music is being played in the background of me typing this, and it is good.<br /><br />cheers.<br /><br />andy.andy barronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16297448797490332587noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900620845888896174.post-76633840984354880202009-02-23T14:00:00.000-08:002009-02-23T14:03:16.964-08:00Guatemala City, Guatemala.

The moment we left the airport, we were apart of an entourage. Big dudes, with "security options." So too began the autographs and pictures. betta dig deep in your coat pocket for that travel size Spanish Dictionary, you're gonna need it!<br /><br />Flying makes one famished and Tacointendo makes people content, thus "the happy taco." Picture anything you want on a tray, carne asada, pollo asada (i think), chorizo.... and much more all holding hands with salsa verdes, guacamole and cotija cheese. In come the Mariachis and Chad starts singing! Tacos and Verbrato were flying all over the place.<br /><br />The show day was filled with a meal every 2 hours and some of warmest smiles. Friendly, friendly people. There was a press conference in a restaurant that also doubled as an aquarium. Let me foreshadow...you can scuba with the sharks, no joke...that outta suffice until a podcast can explain much further!<br /><br />This was a pretty epic show. The crowd was so loud that i could hear them outside of the venue, over the thumping bass tones. Every song had a heartfelt 3500 person chorus. <br /><br />IJM made a presence tonight next to the SFOOT merch booth and it was really cool to get caught up with what's happening in terms of social reform in Guatemala. <br /><br />Volcanoes' were in bloom and their smoke trailed off from the cones into the clouds. Pretty amazing cite from a hotel room.

It sounded like a community afair with Mraz and others showing to offer support. go freakin' san diego!<br /><br />We met up on 2/11 at the San Antonio Rodeo. Stomping bulls, wranglers and roughnecks! All an amazing prelude to a Switchfoot show. I laughed hard tonight. The stage was on orbit, spinning about like carousel. The first seats were at least 50 yards away, so miggs, beaty and i (while stationary) enjoyed front row seats every time the front of stage came around to face us. My feet awkwardly feel into the dirt print of horses hooves and bull tracks, where the rodeo had just tempered 30 minutes before.<br /><br />Jon said that he wanted to bridge the gap between the arena and the rotating stage...so he did his fare share of diving and dirt stomping to get into seats. You'd expect nothing less, right?

But the final encore of Your Love is Strong leading into Dare You to Move left everyone with a lighthearted spirit.<br /> <br />The set list looked a little something like this:<br /> <br />Oh! Gravity<br />Stars<br />Gone mash-up<br />This Is Your Life /I Won't Back Down (Tom Petty cover)<br />This Is Home<br />Learning To Breathe<br />Dirty Second Hands<br />American Dream<br />We Are One Tonight/The Shadow Proves the Sunshine<br />Lonely Nation<br />On Fire<br />Awakening<br />Meant to Live<br />Encore:<br />Your Love is Strong<br />Dare You To Move<br /> <br /> <br />Now, I don’t want to fool no one to think that I’m something, I know I’m not Andy Barron; if we all were, there’d be too many talented creative people out there with a knack for photography.<br />I’m just a Ruth loving, Switchfoot high-fiving, merch selling kind of girl with a hankering for photography.<br /> <br />There’s nothing left for us to talk about.<br />Thanks y’all,<br />Ali-C-iabobbythebhivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13962632124113090532noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900620845888896174.post-68252098079677535872008-12-23T15:36:00.000-08:002008-12-23T15:43:24.578-08:00duluth, georgia.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsP3CQP8UKNdjgiWm4OvWR0D4B6R9xjAOEWYP7kQde-fKHvdhyphenhyphenORu_vsSznYSot6QwITDETXnGbOMPI_fk9oCb7V8mGY1h5RfSeo6u6c9CNKlJ-YaFEPhGgi0LL7sIFR_eZOjEFNEIRK0/s1600-h/IMG_0084.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsP3CQP8UKNdjgiWm4OvWR0D4B6R9xjAOEWYP7kQde-fKHvdhyphenhyphenORu_vsSznYSot6QwITDETXnGbOMPI_fk9oCb7V8mGY1h5RfSeo6u6c9CNKlJ-YaFEPhGgi0LL7sIFR_eZOjEFNEIRK0/s320/IMG_0084.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283134266574556626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-hyHFFoz27erV7wM_Lms7GwADUZYGiNbKUzT7YqbYawVzoA9FwGUZTptKhmKdmeKmEmI85BasYgXJJ6WJSzEoJnvBWqT67rdKlkU0d2NLCc4qtdNE2pjl_sh25f7316o3rfAzNx5liC4/s1600-h/IMG_0058.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-hyHFFoz27erV7wM_Lms7GwADUZYGiNbKUzT7YqbYawVzoA9FwGUZTptKhmKdmeKmEmI85BasYgXJJ6WJSzEoJnvBWqT67rdKlkU0d2NLCc4qtdNE2pjl_sh25f7316o3rfAzNx5liC4/s320/IMG_0058.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283134255105662002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Qv8wrmrPxHZmnkT95XcnZ3IiEjjpJXC5SnYsYDMv_o5llLerF71VRgQofsJLL99atfBwPuV6hwuICAl7YHlpKWy0nT6KqTqK6rlwZzd0T7FpyQdeySkyYRE6tsYR1VOgNKu0BcPd04M/s1600-h/IMG_0077.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Qv8wrmrPxHZmnkT95XcnZ3IiEjjpJXC5SnYsYDMv_o5llLerF71VRgQofsJLL99atfBwPuV6hwuICAl7YHlpKWy0nT6KqTqK6rlwZzd0T7FpyQdeySkyYRE6tsYR1VOgNKu0BcPd04M/s320/IMG_0077.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283134247686086674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aD_K-pklsf7nzOsQy5-N4BOdOT1H6uLQ5VQvI9Ucsya8NzlNF_hsQvdZHMJIWvZIvup1UitFf2DQ0p8PMziK8KXDepk68mJkCo_RQYIVCRo49SwLCiMfggTWrfe3-5YZ36eP7JXR-FA/s1600-h/IMG_0049.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aD_K-pklsf7nzOsQy5-N4BOdOT1H6uLQ5VQvI9Ucsya8NzlNF_hsQvdZHMJIWvZIvup1UitFf2DQ0p8PMziK8KXDepk68mJkCo_RQYIVCRo49SwLCiMfggTWrfe3-5YZ36eP7JXR-FA/s320/IMG_0049.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283134245396423714" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuLV97fx9rV9GyEcbnPOKGko4badB5yxGUm2EtA1cW-kQ0S0Ja76v_0eAebwMrXg8BaORnb_l9lQ6NDikLG6SKR_1Lg-JSoC1E8QIYgtmHwt8zWunq049MaFP8ADMXJ1Uhh7KPxBVgysw/s1600-h/IMG_0016.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuLV97fx9rV9GyEcbnPOKGko4badB5yxGUm2EtA1cW-kQ0S0Ja76v_0eAebwMrXg8BaORnb_l9lQ6NDikLG6SKR_1Lg-JSoC1E8QIYgtmHwt8zWunq049MaFP8ADMXJ1Uhh7KPxBVgysw/s320/IMG_0016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283134233172818114" /></a><br />Today we closed the door on the 3DD tour. It was a big night with cameras forming constellations and big hair induced by the humidity. I had lots of great conversations with friendly peeps after the foots played. two, in fact, drove from New York to see the foot, which is pretty fantastic. the guys were honored to hear of such revelry.<br /><br />Wish you all love and merriment.<br />once again, go packers.<br />bobbybobbythebhivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13962632124113090532noreply@blogger.com21
