I am currently on tour with my Nikon but I forgot my camera charger.. which means no photos.. bummer. We are currently in Wayne, PA. Scooter snores REALLY loud so I can’t sleep. We play Starland tomorrow & Trocadero the next day. People have been super awesome to us thus far. I’m starting to miss my cats, although, there are plentiful dogs here. I’m possibly the only person awake right now.. on that note, I’m drinking beer & going to sleep. Good night tumb.. xoxoxo.

& there are no open liquor stores or bars past 12 am. what is this?

In my last post I said I would try & update this everyday while on tour but when rolling 7 deep in the van, it’s hard to really get anything creatively done. Instead I will post photos of random things taken by whomever. We went to Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, back to Maryland & now I find myself back home (home away from home, really). I’ve been meeting really great people everywhere I go. There is just far too much to type about from memory. We stayed with a guy named Brian in Virginia, in the deep neck of the woods where no one could literally hear you scream for two nights. This house was huge, it was ridiculous. I broke my phone & got a BlackBerry, which is really nice. Now tomorrow we go to Camden’s Warped Tour to hang & the next day the band plays Oceanport Warped Tour. Come say hi, I’ll most likely be hanging at the Danny Says stage / Danimal Records tent.

Tomorrow morning I go on tour with Solfege Radio (www.myspace.com/solfegeradio). I recently did some art work/graphic design work for their new EP coming out July 27th. Every person involved in this movement is good people. Everyone in the band is one of my best friends, really. I’m super stoked & delighted to be able to travel some to get away from home & stuff. While on tour I’ll try & update my tumbler often with photos & things. I’ll be doing something I really enjoy doing; guitar tech work while helping out friends. It’s fun. I get to meet a lot of cool people & good bands, get free stuff, & sleep somewhere different every night. It’s always an interesting & rewarding experience.
