tour journal

So much has been going on. I haven’t been on the internet in over a week, just haven’t had anytime. I’m going to assume that our song got posted today but I don’t even know because I haven’t been able to see anything in forever. I hope everyone likes it.

Bamboozle was pretty fun, we got to see lots of friends that we haven’t seen in forever, which ruled. The only band I got to watch all day was Hit The Lights, but it was great to see those dudes, we missed them a lot and they didn’t skip a beat when colin left, they still rocked our faces off. That night, we had free hotel rooms courtesy of Quinn’s dad, which ruled. I can’t tell you which hotel it was, but I can tell you that it involved 2 trees. Fancy shmancy

After bamboozle we drove out to the desert of Joshua tree national park and took photos for our album art. I made a video to show what went on out there, but it was pretty insane. We stood in the desert sun for hours and hours, baking. It was pretty badass, I’m stoked on how it looks. We set up all our gear in this dry lake bed that looked like we were on the moon. There wasn’t any cell phone service anywhere, so for like 2 and a half days, I even had to use a payphone to call someone, it felt like 1995 all over again, I liked it. Out in the desert we saw a huge ram, tons of lizards, jack rabbits and some people saw snakes, I didn’t see any. It was a really cool experience.

Last night after the long hours of desert sun, we went to a casino. I don’t gamble but its always hilarious to see other people lose money. Scott, George and Quinn all lost… those crazy guys.

Another crazy thing that happened today was we went to eat and in the parking lot we heard this huge screeching noise and then saw this care flying over all these embankments and then he stopped and there was this old lady just laying on the ground. We weren’t sure what happened but it looked like the guy hit the lady… but he didn’t even apologize he just sat in his car, it was very strange.

Today we’re back to the grind, playing more shows on the long hair don’t care tour. We’re in San Diego today, Orangevale tomorrow and then headed straight back to the east coast.

I have been promising pictures forever, but this time I promise they’re coming! I’ve been so busy it’s insane, I’ve made like 4 videos and I can’t put any of them up and I’ve taken hundreds of pictures that have all just sat on my computer… but you’ll see them soon.
