    I Lost Another Piece of Home Last Week

    September 9, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Many of us have places that we grew up in, places that feel like home outside of our home. Places that hold a special place in our hearts, that are filled with special memories. Places that feel safe even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else.

But, there is another SoCal based local favorite that, even though it's loved by many, seems to always be forgotten. The Hat.

    ullhead City, Arizona is a community located directly across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada and not too far from Needles, California. For those of you that still don't know what I'm talking about, it is about 90 miles south of Las Vegas. It is also a major part of my childhood.

    Colima Burgers

    And then there is Colima Burgers. And as cheesy and dramatic as it sounds, I mean this will all sincerity, since coming back to California, walking into Colima Burgers has felt like coming home each and every time. Colima Burgers is a family run greasy spoon that I have gone to all my life.

    I was little, it was while I was still in elementary. I have always been a HUGE shave ice fan. I was home with a babysitter, which in my mind was rare. I feel like for most of my childhood, my dad was usually the one home with me and if I did need to be watched 90% of the time I'd either be with my brother and/or his wife or with my dad's best friend's family. Anyways, I digress, this day I was home with a babysitter, possibly my cousin or my future niece (another story), and my dad came home with a shave ice!

Let's see if I can sum up my feelings for this band in a concise IG caption. 

I started listening to them way back in high school when their debut album dropped. I dabbled in their second album and maybe a bit of their third but then, like many of the bands I was listening to at the time, fell off my radar. 

Then, March 2024, opening for Fall Out Boy, The Maine came rushing back into my life and my playlists have not been the same. 

I cannot properly express how important their music has been to me over the last, nearly two years. I'm sad, I'm stressed, I'm overwhelmed, I'm unmotivated. Whatever it is I'm feeling that I need to get out of my body their music is there for me. 

Since seeing them at the start of 2024, I've seen them a handful of other times, but only in festival settings, so finally being able to see them in not only a setting filled with just their fans, but in such an insanely intimate venue was so very special 🩷

I love you, but I choose The Maine 🩷

10.20.2025 Durry at The Troubadour Leading up to 10.20.2025 Durry at The Troubadour 

Leading up to this show I had spent the last 5 days in Las Vegas for When We Were Young. I had walked nearly 100k steps over the last three days and was running on an average of 4 hours a sleep a night for the entirety of the trip. 

A smart responsible adult would have gone home and gone to bed early to recover and prepare to return to work and normal life the next day. 

But that is not me and my love for this band is too strong. We drove home from Vegas that morning, dropped off our bags at home, took a quick 30 minute nap, and then headed into Hollywood...and it was so totally worth it!

20+ years and I finally got to see @jason_mraz live. Been a fan since "The Remedy" and seeing him live was such a special experience. 

He's an artist I don't get to talk about much and don't share him with others the way I do some of my other favorite musicians. But he's always held a very special place in my heart and has gotten me through a lot over the years. 

He was also one of the few artists my dad and I were able to bond over. I remember one road trip specifically we only listened to Jason's debut album Waiting for my Rocket to Come, on repeat, for all 8 hours.
