the REAL human circus tour

hey everyone in the real world!

i feel like i'm in fake world, warped tour is like a traveling circus where you never see the outside world. you come in and work your ass off and then you go to bed and do it all over again. i feel like i have been put through a blender, but i feel good about what i'm doing. i wake up everyday at 7 and walk around trying to sell our cds. i see hundreds of kids everyday... some are nice, some are mean, some ignore me completely, some "don't have any money", some hate me for asking them, some think it's disguisting to put headphones on that other people wear, and some people are just too tired to do anything. warped tour is really the craziest place ever.

we have been playing at the same time as so many big bands everyday that it's been so hard to get a good crowd. the first day we were on at the same time as bayside AND boys like girls, the second day we were up against paramore and starting line, third day.... you get the idea. it's still been really fun though and hopefully one of these days we'll get an awesome crowd and tons of kids will come haha. for now though i am happy with what's been happening and things are going well... there's just no time for anything else, it's so insane!

anyway, tomorrow we have our first day off and it is going to be amazing... we are headed to millewauke and we are hopefully going to see the simpsons movie... but for now, i am exausted and have to go get some rest.... but ill try and update as often as i can.

This year was the first Warped I was at(won't be my last) and I totally agree, it is like a Human Circus!!!!!! It is the best though. Luved your performance at Scranton. My daughter wanted to see Bayside but chose to see you guys instead. I said it was a "No brainer"!!!!! You should def. have a bigger stage when you are back in your hometowm, Philly. I think that crowd will be nutz!!!!!!!!! Wish I could be there to see it. Well good luck on the rest of the tour. Can't wait to see you guys again!! Luv ya, Kris

Hey, I wasn't able to make the Phila show, but I told this girl I work with to check you guys out and she said she waited at your stage at the time you were supposed to come on but never did? or something?

This girl is also pretty dumb, so I dunno. Lemme know how it went. And I'm slowly saving for Reason, don't you worry.
