I was way too busy yesterday to update. Yesterday was the first show of the tour. So introductions and setting up and getting into the swing of things was my priority. Everyone is really awesome and fun to hang out with. The opening band, Lights Resolve, are already some of my new best friends. And holy crap fanboy moment, Straylight Run are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. I ate dinner with them and had trouble containing myself because John and Michelle Nolan were sitting there WITH me and talking. Asdfghhjkfhdsk

I have pictures and lots to say about last night, but seeing as we drove 2 1/2 hours after the show last night, slept for 4 hours, and are now driving the remaining 6 hours to today’s show in Pueblo, CO I think I’m going to catch up on sleep.

Shiiiiiiit. We just stopped at a gas station in Fort Worth, TX so Dennis could pee and the girl working the counter got robbed. Some dude walked in and handed her a slip of paper that said “Give me all your money or ill shoot you” and she handed it over and he took it and just walked out. The girl called the police and described him and his vehicle, plus they have all the cameras watching the pumps. Some people aren’t smart.

Luckily I am. I didn’t feel the need to do anything during this pit stop, so I just stayed in the van. Vince and Brad and Dave told Dennis and I all about it though. Shit’s crazy.

Tour is the craziest thing I have ever done.

Happy April Fools Day?

We just got to our hotel for the night. We’re in the middle of effin-nowhere-Arkansas. We just drove through like 2 hours of crazy rain and lightning. Apparently there’s tornado warnings for the state tonight. Whenever I travel through the Midwest its always when they have crazy ass weather. We saw some wrecks and what not. But we made it here alive.

And best of all we stopped in Memphis, TN for “Memphis Barbeque”. Holy god…I want to go back. Apparently, the place we ate at is pretty famous. I can see why…

They have rolls fried in butter and awesome ribs and barbeque and the waitress made fun of us and it was crazy. And the best barbeque I’ve ever had. I passed out almost as soon as we got back in the van. Tomorrow we’re crossing most of Texas. I’m psyched. Not. Maybe. We’ll see.
