I locked my fucking keys in the car! FUCK

Well yesterday i rushed myself into a stupid hurry and locked my keys in the car. fortunately i have a hide a key, i used it and then left it in my dashboard console...today arrives and i foolishly lock myself out while changing for the beach!!!! My friend had AAA and it only took like two hours to get back into my car. did i mention it was in the middle of the day in a lava rock field with literally ZERO shade! I looked inside my car and watched my freshly purchased water glisten, bead with sweat and eventually seem to boil! Its like a 130 goddamn degrees i am topless with no shoes, no hat and no sunscreen! Needless to say i am sunburned as a motherfucker! But i have tons of work to get done and a little time out of the sun and beach will just help me get more done!

As far as tour and recording are going, it looks like we are gonna make it happen! How? i am not sure but we have the will so i know there is a way! ALOHA

Touring, Rocking and Fucking...but never failing

This fucking planet sized mountain we are climbing is either getting larger or we are shrinking! What i mean is P.O.R.T.A.L. has been playing, rocking and generally having a good time for about three years now.

In those first three years our intention was purely to create original music and have fun. We weren't sure how we would be received due to the nature of our musical experiment but to our surprise people are stoked! We recorded an E.P. in our tiny lab in a poem on the road to heaven. We have got billed with some heads and through the internet have devoloped a small following.

That is all great and gravy! Now we are getting a clear idea how to really take it up several notches. Lets say to about 11. Upon deciding the band is going to be our 1st intention our first thought was: Wow we have got a lot of work to do if we really want to venture out into the world and seek out our "fortune and glory" but we can do anything!!!!

That being said, we not only underestimated how much it would take to get our name further out into the sea of musical scenes around the world. We also had no fucking idea the cost of actually taking a band on the road really is! Let me tell you it is INSANELY FUCKING EXPENSIVE! There are more costs that will nickel and dime you to death over night. and guess what? You are almost gauranteed to make ZERO dollars! Now upon realizing these things you might be asking yourself why would we still be considering this as an option. Well i will tell you why, 1) I personally really love a challenge and this is the biggest of challenges, 2) we collectively have nothing to lose and that alone gives us the ability to succeed! but more importantly than both of those reasons is simple, We LOVE creating and sharing our MUSIC! We do not care how impossible it seems. We are going to do it regardless and we are gonna fucking rock some souls on the way!
