Tons of people, no fucking merch sold. Well... A little, but damn, we have a room of 20 kids and we sell over 100 bucks. A room of 75 makes 20 so far? Gonna be a rough west coast ride...
Mmmmm, crazy hangover......-johnny

Writing from Reno

Tour's been fantastic so far. We were scraping each other's nerves a few days ago, but that seems to have passed. I guess it's expected when you're living together in extreme conditions for days on end.

We've played five shows so far: Columbus, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, and SLC. We've met some awesome people on the way. The worst part about this tour is the time constraints. As soon as we start enjoying the company of our fans, it's time to take off again. Salt Lake City, I'm glad you convinced us to come out. We haven't had a bad time at any of our stops yet. *knock on wood*

The scenery of Wyoming and Utah was incredible. I never thought a desert could be so goddam beautiful. The mountains out here are gorgeous. Even as I type this in a hotel room in Reno, I'm looking out in the night and seeing mountains surrounding this miniature Las Vegas.

I'm slowly working on editing some videos I've collected so far. I'd like to get them out sooner versus later, but time is just hard to find. Talking to Elisha today, we both had the intention of doing a lot of this on our eight-hour drives. The shitty part is, you're spending a lot of that time trying to make up sleep that you couldn't get during the night.

These past few days have been a blast. This is something I've waited a long time to experience and it's worth the wait. I just can't wait to come home and reflect on everything that's happened. Everything's been moving so fast, it's hard to realize what you've done.

Circus circus - Reno, NV!!!

Finally Day 3 & 4 Recap...

Just saw our first tornado!! It was a little sand storm. So cool. E
I have to piss so bad right now. -Anthony

10% Party, 10% Torture, 20% Boredom - 60% WORK

My next video is to large to add to this blog. Ill give a link after this post.

We have been slacking a bit on the video footage. After this video, they will be a little more random and mixed between days.

Three out of five days we have slept in the van. It is rough, but we are having a good time. The crowd response has been amazing. We have been selling plenty of merch. and getting paid enough for gas the entire way so far. Fingers crossed that this pattern continues. Last night we were fed by the venue. To my surprise it was a banging salad! You'd think it was easy to get fruits and veggies when you are in farm towns, but we had no luck! The salad was MUCH appreciated.

The altitude in the Mid-West is crazy. I am kind of sick from it. I keep drinking water and STILL feel dehydrated. Maybe I should stop the breakfast shots? Kidding...

All in all, we are working our asses off, and having a blast while doing it. To anyone who thinks touring is all fun & games... you are so wrong! It's 10% party, 10% torture, 20% boredom, and 60% work. Loving every second........

Bobby's Loft in kansas City is one of the craziest coolest venue's I've seen in a loooong ass time. Touring bands gotta come through here. Bring a skateboard. Nite number 3, feeling good, and we've been killing it!

Arrived in Kansas City. We are playing a bad ass venue. People live in the venue, which is why the stage is also a kitchen. I was standing on a skate ramp while taking this photo. Kansas is weird. TONS of warehouses. More pictures to come. Elisha

First sight of bad weather. Good old midwest... E.

leaving chi-town

Chicago went well, but I'm in severe need of a crazy ass drinking nite.....damn these long drives and our responsibility! - Johnny

Noble warriors guarding the van while everyone eats. Hoping we dont get robbed for our Macs. Just arrived at Ronnies for show number two.

Chilling in Chicago

Just got done hanging out with one of our good friends in the suburbs of Chicago. Elisha and I are now outside of the venue while the others are grabbing food. I'm craving Chi-town pizza like no other.

-Anthony
Wakey wakey shakey bakey. Slept in the van. It sucked. Now off to Illinois. Got like 50 pictures taken of us at Denny's. Hicks... nuff said. E.

Day One Complete


Columbus, OH: Neighbor rivalry, police interference, and crackheads trying to get into our van. Despite this, we managed to have a hell of a time at the Boneyard. The set was fast, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Thanks to everyone in Ohio who made it out to see us. We're also happy to report that Jonas' best friend isn't dead.



One hour LATE....




Packed up and on the road by 10:30 A.M. Anthony was an hour late.
