This new tour is ROUGH.

Who the eff is comin' out to see me???

Not too much to complain about. I wish i could hang out more tho. This friggin' arena crap kinda sucks. I wanna get back to the smaller venues and clubs.

Other than that, not a damn thing else to report. After this tour i'll be home for about 3 weeks. So i'm using that to practice my spinning and chillin' ooooouuutttt.

ok this blog was pointless...

It's been a LOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGGG time since i wrote in this.

Really i don't find much reason to cause i don't really read it too much and neither does anyone else...that i know of anyway. I guess i will every once in a while. Anyway, there's been a lot of ups and alot of downs in the past month or 2, but thankfully i'm on an up right now. Other than being a little sick anyway. Things seem to be going really well and if all does go well, i'll be back out on tour in Feb. For now i'm just gonna hang out and do my after tour relaxing. I'm leaving for Montreal on the 6th and i'll be returning Feb. 1st. Some time well spent will be had, i'm lookin' forward to it. So for my SG friends, yep, i'm still alive and well, as most of you who have it, i'm on myspace most of my time, so that's mainly where i do my thang. Hope all is well with everyone in SG land!

Today was quite nice, a productive off day for once!

Quick catch up with me...i'm in L.A. i've been here for almost 4 days, i'll be here till tuesday....

I got a call from Reagan who just so happend to be 2 blocks away from my hotel and she invited for some hangin' out and lunch. Met up with her and some friends of hers whome she introduced me to. We all went to this pretty nice organic vegan restaurant that was actually quite good. We chatted and caught up a little. It's always nice gettin' to see her. After that i walked back to my hotel to kill some time. I then headed out to the Virgin Megastore on Sunset to catch Athlete doing a live instore. It was pretty good, it's something like a cross between coldplay and death cab. I left there and took a ncie long walk to hollywood blvd. to pick up some souveniers and a postcard for a friend and my sister. From there i walked to best buy where i had to pick up a new printer because the one i was given by cinder block crapped out on me. I also browsed some music (i'm fuckin' adicted) and picked up a cd by a band called Fever. Hot shit, you should check it out. After leaving there i walked back toward my hotel however it was MANY blocks away so i gave up and hopped a cab. Back and my hotel and here i am! tah dah! I'm gonna get some paper work and some shit done and then get to sleep early. I have a 7am bus call. Sucks considering i don't have to do anything at that venue till 5pm!!! mad

I'll TRY to get some more entries and updates in here, i don't do it often enough....damn you myspace.

wow. just....wow.

words can't even describe how completely amazing green day was on friday. they've never failed me any time i've seen them, and tonights show was by far the best yet. i couldn't help but be happy the whole time and it's amazing how a band can do that to a person. this makes me even more anxious to start on my GD sleeve for my arm, i've been putting that off for far too long. i'll stick by that band for the rest of my life.



In other news...

Tour time again! YAY! I'll be rolling with a band that has been unclassifiable but usually labled as "goth." (Yea i know, not my normal thing, but i gotta do what pays the bills...and well, it's a fuckin' tour!) The band is called Dead Can Dance and they're doing thier first tour back to the US in over a Decade. I'll be doing merch for them on thier US run from 9-17 to 10-12.

So i haven't been able to get online as much as i would like to. Here's some updates from my other journal and so you can read how things have been goin'...



This tour is going amazingly well. Aside from our bus being pretty damn ghetto, everything is great. The job itself is hard work but it's the kind i like. It's that kind of hard work that i like because it makes me feel accomplished. I've met tons of people so far and this is only day 3 of an 2 month tour. I'm looking forward to meeting many more cause so far everyone i've met has been really cool and welcoming to me. I can feel that this is gonna be a great summer and hopefully i'll get something more for after summer.

Anyway, off to bed, i have a 7am bus call.

p.s.- Fall Out Boy is fucking amazing.



Holy shit i'm exhausted. Yesterday's heat brutalized everyone. I don't take off my shirt for anything and i worked all day without it. The temperature was near 110 according to a few different people. Seem's like things are going pretty well. I've been put in charge of my tent as tent leader (there are 3 different ones). So that's definately very cool and shows that they trust me. I'm sore from head to toe right now but i'm sure after this week my body will have gotten used to it. I can't wait to get to some cooler weather tho, this heat just KILLS. I'll jump online in a few days again to keep you guys updated with anything else that happens.

Texas fuckin' SUCKS.

San Antonio especially.

These are the rules of buying merch at a show...

1. Know what your fuckin' size is
2. Do NOT point and say "i want that"
3. Do NOT point say "i want the black shirt" when i have 5 different black shirts.
4. Do NOT ask me to see multiple shirt sizes.
5. Do NOT say "do you have a problem doing your job" when i get pist cause you're coming back multiple times asking me to show you the same fuckin' shirts, cause i swear i'll fuckin' lose it.
6. Do NOT ask me how much the price of the shirts are when they're clearly posted WITH the description name AND sizes available. i will just stare at you in frustration.
7. Do NOT ask me for the "warped tour 2005 shirt" when clearly...EVERY FUCKIN' SHIRT I HAVE IS A WARPED TOUR 2005 SHIRT.

These are just a FEW of the things i gotta hear from these little fuckers. I will more than likely update you with more of the "rules" when i remember more.



On a seperate note, please check out these bands because they just down right ROCK...

Fall Out Boy
Motion City Soundtrack
Boys Night Out
All American Rejects
Emery
The Transplants



a lovely day off in las cruces, nm. so far it took half the day to get our hotel rooms, but now we're set up and i took a shower for the first time in 4 days. icky. so yea, things are going well on the road, i've made a lot of new friends and couldn't be better. this job is definately a workout from the moment i wake up at 7:30am where we all get together and unload the semi truck of all the things we need (tents, tables, coolers, tubs of office supplies, generators, fans, chairs, hand trucks, and of course boxes and boxes of merch) all the way to sometimes 10pm where we have have to count out our merch and pack up all that stuff back into the truck. it's madness, but i like it, it keeps me the kind of busy that i like. i'm totaly gonna be ripped by the end of this tour, lol...not really, but i'll definately look healthier than i do now. i've even been eatting better and more regurally too, so all around, this tour is good for me tomorrow however is gonna be a friggin' workout. we have 144 boxes of new merchandise coming in and we all have to replenish our stocks and organize the semi truck, should be a BLAST, hehe.

well i will try to update as much as possible and notify everyone of any new and fabulous updates. oh, and a reminder for those of you going out to the warped tours, lemme know so i can say hi! i miss a ton of you guys and some of you i'll be seeing really soon! leave me messages, i like seein' that lil "new messages/new comments" thingy after not being on here for such a long time.

xo,

i just flipped off vancouver...naked.

i had the most amazing thai food last night.

why is everything so fuckin' expensive?

the weather is great!

off to work!



Yesterday was our biggest show yet. 26,000 in Denver, CO. The show sold out...i had no idea Warped tour COULD sell out. Heidi and i made MAD tips. After the show i hung out with a few people on the Epitaph bus and did acoustic Green Day sing alongs for a good hour or more. It was fun!

Kansas City, MO...2 MUCH needed days off. Things are goin' great. The tour and people are really awesome. Already had to say goodbye to some people cause thier bands and crew left the tour. It's nice meeting new people, it sucks when they have to go.

Skindred starts in 2 days! Can't wait to see those guys again, i miss em.

Today is Irene from Kung-Fu records B-day. We're gonna all have a Bday get together and hang out.

I'm out

Miss you guys!
