Like yourselves I’ll assume, I myself am on a quest. Although not just any sort of quest. I’m sure you’re asking yourselves: Ryan, what kind of quest is this you speak of ? And I would simply answer, the greatest quest since Atreyu’s and Falcor’s (The Never Ending Story for those of you who don’t know anything about classic masterpieces). Unlike certain quests some of you guys and girls are performing, or simply making miracles happen. Examples: delivering babies, putting out fires, or teaching our youth of tomorrow. Noble indeed, but not nearly as important as mine. I am on the hunt for a heavy metal band called VOMITORIUM! As we do most nights, the crew lurked the filthy streets of Quito for something exciting, or for Evan (camera/cinematic/videographer/supervisor/manager ) and I, somewhere we probably shouldn’t be. Anyways we ended up in this place called Canelazo…(I could be spelling that wrong and that might not even be what it was called) where you get two for one of these deceiving devil’s juices “Caneolazos”. When I took a drink of what I thought was just warm tea ended up being in my opinion gasoline mixed with rubbing alcohol.

Back to the quest- we ended up sitting with these two girls, one from Connecticut (Andrea), who by serious discussion by Evan and I resembled the girl from Ferris Bueller’s Day off. The other was her friend (Fernanda) and she was from Quito. After the almost mandatory small talk- Where you from? What are you doing here? How long you here for? We got to the good stuff and found out that Fernanda’s boo was in the band Vomitorium. This is something that is tagged everywhere in Quito and we just couldn’t find out what it was, until those very seconds those beautiful words spilled out of her lips. Just like the party bus IT was ON. I was told the last show they played was under a bridge and my heart stopped for maybe two seconds and shortly after realizing I was not dead I was ready to climb down some bridges…So I would like to invite all four to six of you reading this to be a part of my quest and let’s find VOMITORIUM.
