tour journal

We haven't had internet in so many days but our has been amazing! I can’t believe how many kids are coming out to these shows… you should hear Shane everyday, “oh man there’s gonna be like 30 kids here today, headlining sucks.” Everyday he has been proven wrong, so I hope he keeps saying that haha… maybe our good luck charm is Shane being negative. The first night was incredible and almost 250 people were there which was our biggest Cleveland show ever. I was so surprised. The next night was cancelled because the venue was caught selling alcohol to underage kids… lame. So we stayed in Cleveland at Jackie’s house and the next day we got to hang out with Punchline and all of our Pittsburgh friends, which are some of my favorite people ever. The Pittsburgh show was pretty sweet as well... lots of friends and my Mom and sister came out which is always fun. I played terribly but it was still a fun show regardless. That night was drove to Connecticut… a 9 hour drive. It was absolute insanity, because of how tired we were. The new van has a curtain as you may have seen in the video update and it worked like a charm, I actually got SOME sleep in the van for once. Scooter and Quinn were our saviors and drove the whole way… I woke up to them trying to find a hotel because they got lost… but then I fell back asleep and woke up in a pool of sweat in the parking lot 3 hours later. I went into the hotel and watched horrible movies with George and Sean like Pluto Nash and American Pie 1 ANDDDD 2…. Terrible. But good times had by all at the show. The show was just an all around fun time, kids were going off for the first time of the tour and we ACTUALLY got a one more song chant… but it was the first night we didn’t have anything prepared haha.. what a bummer. So we had to play a new song, hopefully we’ll be more prepared from now on. Tonight is Boston and hopefully it’s as good as the other shows have been and hopefully Shane is as negative so we can get some kids in there.

The bands on the tour are so sweet, I’m so glad we picked such good bands so we can watch good bands every night and hang out with good dudes. New York is tomorrow and it’s an important show for us. Hopefully we play good and lots of people come out and go crazy so we look good haha.

Anyway it’s time to load in and get some delicious food so I will check in later! I filmed a new update so tomorrow I’ll edit it and put it up soon… it should be a good one.
