have a pleasure day

back in canada... jeeze louise.

worcester, philly and atlantic city were absolutely increidble. i was so pumped to be playing to people who knew who we were and knew our songs. worcester was definitely one of the biggest american shows we ever played and it just got bigger and bigger from there.

we brought bq out on stage and had him stage dive.... check out this video:

the place was crazy and i had such a good time. the drive down to atlantic city was pretty rough because i drove till like 5 am trying to find a hotel. then the next day george lost his cell phone in a bathroom... then we were just in time for the show, but we got stuck behind a parade and had to drive the same speed as the parade the rest of the way so we were late... it was like an F movie. but once we got there it was good... my aunt and cousins came.. i was glad that the first show they ever saw was such a good one. nicole and maribeth came as well, even grandpa old and alison (can you believe it). i saw mundy for the first time in ages and all in all it was just a fun night. after we played there was another show there.... this asian boy band called 'grasshopper' it was so strange, i wanted to stay, but no one else did so we went home haha

the next day was one of my life list things getting checked off yet again: playing the electric factory. it was really cool to finally play the electric factory... although its very hard to get that place to sounds good... it felt amazing to play our hometown for the first time in a very long time. kids were going crazy. there were also people who were BLG fans who had never heard of us, which was so awesome to finally gain new fans in philly. i'm reallllllly hoping our philadelphia holiday shows sells out... i would be very bummed if it didn't... but we shall see.

anyway.. last night we left for canada and now we're here at the venue in montreal, waiting for sound check. we got here super early and walked around montreal... i really like this city. it's very very liberal and kind of strange (and a little expensive)... but overall it's very cool, lots of nice resturaunts and clubs and shops to go in.

i took some pictures and lots of video, hopefully i'll put together one final tour video after the tour so you can all see.

The Philly show WAS crazy! I've never been so packed into a crowd as I was during your set. And you were AMAZING, as always.

I saw some people taking pictures from the stage during your set (including George).. I hope those get posted somewhere! I'm sure you can see my friends and I.

I don't even think I can put into words just how happy I am to have been able to share in the "First time playing the Electric Factory" experience. You guys def. owned Philly that night. It was such an amazing night. I was so happy to see you guys again. Now can't wait for the holiday shows. Well at least I don't have to wait a bajillion months to see you again!!!!! hahaha I hope BQ and Delicious are gonna be there at the holiday shows too....

Time for another terribly overdue comment!

I've never been to Canada, but Montreal sounds curious but cool.

I'm back-tracking in hopes of bringing myself back up to speed ;)
