Happy Halloween.



this tour is going to be so insane... i can already tell after just one day. it's so professional and everything just gets done so quickly and professionally and well. i'm so stoked about it. our new hoodie is a hit, we sold so many last night, it was insane! hopefully we can do that well every night with it. we're trying our best.

the other night our gps broke and we were driving into Canada, i drove because no one else would do it. It was a tired drive, passed through the border with no problems and made it to Vancouver. Vancouver is a really cool looking city, lots of apartment buildings that are all about the same size surround the city and make it look so huge. Its not like a bigger city where there are a few huge buildings and then very few that come close to it … all the buildings were similar height and spread apart. It was strange to look at. I drove around for about 2 hours trying to find a hotel because our gps was broken and we can’t use our cell phones up here, so we had to drive to everyone and ask how much and do it the old fashioned way. I feel like I’m touring in the 1990’s.

but like I said, the show was really fun and I’m really excited for this whole tour. The drive out was a really strange couple of days, I felt like I was stuck in this limbo and couldn’t get out, but now that the tour has started, I feel good. today we are driving for 12 hours to get to Edmonton, Alberta. My cousin’s live there, but I have no way of contacting them. I’m sure they wouldn’t recognize me anyway, I hadn’t seen them in probably 5-10 years.

The scenery on these drives have been so incredible. Snow capped mountains and just beautiful amber and golden colors everywhere because of the fall. Bq loves bird watching so he’s got his binoculars out and his bird guide and we’ve all been looking out for birds. We’ve seen many hawks and some normal birds, but on this drive through British Columbia we saw a bald eagle! It was pretty exciting… bird watching doesn’t sound like too much fun, but it would surprise you haha. We also saw some pretty incredible animals like 2 feet from our van. We saw like 3 or 4 huggeeee white wolves just walking along the side of the road toward us in the snow. One even had a carcus in his mouth. We saw 2 black bears and a fox. And then this gigantic buck was on the side of the road just staring at us… snorting our steam, trying to intimidate us… and it worked. It was pretty out of control.

Anyway it’s time for a food stop so I must go, but here’s some pictures from the tour so far.
