313!!!!

So the last few days have been kind of crazy.... after driving all night and going to the mall and all, we got our oil changed and found out that there are 1200 dollars worth of repairs that need to be done to our van, but we can't really get them done... so we decided to just let it go and buy a new van as soon as we can. so we sat in firestone for a while waiting around for them to put our van back together. after that we went to panera and saw our good friend katie... she's from chicago and talks funny, like all normal chicians do.... she couldn't come to the show so we told her to come hang out at panera for a while...

then we drove to the show at the Beat Kitchen... last time we were supposed to play here with small towns and tokyo rose, it got cancelled on spot so we were kind of nervous, but it ended up happening heh... so we got there and loaded in and did a quick soundcheck, played some new songs and it was fun. then they fed us, which doesn't happen that often so it was good. the show was alot of fun... we met the lorene drive dudes for the first time, they're real cool guys and we're excited to tour with them, also alot of friends came out from far away and it was good to see... lindsay, devon, ellen g, steff, a whole bunch of people were there, it was a good time!

so then we loaded out and found out that lindsay had locked her keys in her car, and we felt real bad, so we decided to wait around until she got it all straightened out, she seemed pretty upset, but its all worked out. so then some real nice people in a band called flying just below radar offered to let us and lorene drive stay at their house, so we cancelled our other plans and decided to do that, and went to take our friend home who lived right by wrigely field...

we were all pretty excited about being at wrigley field so we got out and took some pictures and went to taco bell and all, here's some of the pictures... ellen g kinda sucks at taking pictures haha but its ok... so we played that there and max was PRETTY excited.

So then we continued our meal at taco bell and max and george kept making fun of jd, so here's a good picture of that haha but after that we got a call saying we wouldn't be able to stay with our friends, so we decided to drive straight to detroit.... it was a 4 hour drive that took 7 hours because of a crazy accident on the freeway in chicago...

insane night, but we arrived at TDR's house and britt greeted us and let us sleep till about 4, and now we're off to our show at the shelter which is where 8 Mile was filmed, so we're pretty pumped about that, we're gonna do a rap battle instead of playing our set, so it'll be fun

i gotta go to the show, but enjoy the pictures and maybe ill see you there.
