Well it's October 30th, 2 days off in a row and we're driving from Corpus Christi, TX, to Rockford, IL. Matt, Chachi and Tony flew to Chicago this morning for a little visit to the studio, it seems like we just can't get away from that place! For some reason, the Lions game is blacked out on our TV, which sucks, but it's whatev..
I finished shopping for pieces to my Halloween costume earlier today, not sure what we're going to be doing tomorrow night, but I felt that I needed to make one for tradition's sake.
We drove through our first snowstorm of the year a few nights ago and had a show cancelled because of it. We were driving to Denver, CO, with Theory of a Deadman and we both got stuck in a McDonald's parking lot somewhere in Wyoming due to the roads being closed down. It was cold. Only 3 days later, we were in Corpus Christi, TX, and it was sunny and warm! The weather can change so quickly from one part of the country to the next.
There will be a new tour video featuring the song "Purple" posted very soon! Stay tuned for that, it's really good! (I know, I made it...)
It's been so long since I've blogged that I barely know what to talk about! This last month with 3 Doors Down and Theory of a Deadman have been a lot of fun! There are always smiling faces backstage and people riding by on longboards and scooters and what have you. It's a very friendly atmosphere on this tour, you can never be too sure who will be lurking around the next corner!
In 5 days, we'll be in Grand Rapids, MI, our hometown, but just for a day, and just for a show. It's gonna be a weird visit, for sure, but that's the life of touring, I guess.
We have these sweet rugs in the bus! I am not a fan of hardwood or tile floors in living spaces. They're just so hard and cold. Carpet is a much better feeling when you dig your bare toes into it first thing in the morning, or afternoon, whenever I happen to get out of bed. Shoes suck, and I'm going to be stuck in them for the next 5 months. Ugh, that's the worst part of winter! I can't wait to get out snowboarding, though.
OO! Matt is giving away one of his basses! How sweet is that? I made up some flyers to hang around the merch table for it and I even put those little 2D barcodes on them that you can scan with your smartphone and they take you right to the sign-up page for it! CLICK HERE! to enter!
I want to watch a movie, see y'all soon!
