pittsburgh and cleaveland

Last night was for sure the best night on tour. i got to go home and see my mom and dad, i got to eat alot of delicious home cooked food, including my mom's amazing chilli. i got to play in front of a million people, eat 50 cent slices of pizza by steve's house... ah, there are too many great things about pittsburgh to name. it was definately great though. i had an amazing night...

we got our (re)new(ed) shirts in... we used to sell them a long time ago but we got them again and i'm glad we did, they're cool.. and then we just hung out at my house for a while until load in, some pool was played, and alot of internet was had... then we headed down to the city and hung out for a bit, got some pizza by steve's house. the show was real good, we met alot of cool people, and played in front of a ton of people.... it was sweet. trevor was there and sang with us, which is always amazing, i love doing that... after we played i met a guy named steven from transition who was real nice, and i hope we can play with them sometime soon, those guys rule.

after the show, half of us wanted to hang out and half of us watned to go home, so.... chris, matt, dave and i went back to my house and the rest of my band and gio and jake went for a nice night on the town in good old pgh. i was so beat, so i just came home, had some delicious chilli, played some pool and was out like a light. but the other guys were out real late...

so today we were very very very very late getting on our way just becuase we're silly guys, we got to the venue when doors were supposed to open... and we had to rush everything in and share equipment, after we rushed everything in... pj (who has been asking me, along with everyone else, to straighten my hair the whole tour) got out his flat iron and was like... alright this is gonna happen tonight, we have time. so he, and chris' girlfriend, deardra, took a real long time and straightened my hair. pj said i looked 'famous' haha... i thought i just looked ridiculous, and jd and max said i looked like alex sarti, and everyonoe else just said i looked like a girl haha.... and fred and jeff said i looked like the guy from underoat.... but either way, i hated it... i felt like a moron haha.

buuuuuuut anyway... the show was awesome. lots of kids came, and they were all very very cool, participating, and singing and i had a great time afterwards talking to everyone... the show was cool, and i really liked the venue, the grog shop, it was cool and we're playing there next month too with june. even though the show was good, i felt like i played really really bad, but i get that way sometimes, so i can't really complain...

so after the show we went to jackie's house, which is where i am currently. we came in and there was smoke everywhere because of the delicious food her mom and dad were making... some chicken patties and hamburgers and all this stuff, it was incredible, and even this amazing dessert.... ahh jackie's house rules. i was so upset when i got full becuase i just wanted to keep eating... but waht can you do. so afterwards i used the sweet new program that matt told me about (senuti) to upload songs onto my computer from his ipod, so i could get my library all sweeeeet... and now it is, i have amazing songs on my computer now and soon to be on my ipod... i can't wait.

so after that, we playaed the aerosmith game (revolution-X) again, and beat it. that has to be the best game ever... i always free the most babes, even though i'm not always the best with the ninjas and tiki men, but you can always count on me to free babes. that probalby made no sense if you don't know the game.. but if you do... phew.

anyway.. i'm gonna head to bed, but i am pumped for detroit. if you live there, come say hello at the show!
