BLOG 8: Jacksonville FL.

Ok well…Its been quite sometime… I think, since Ive written anything new. So I thought I would take a few minuets and update everyone.

Well after New Mexico We did 3 Texas Dates. Which was awesome! But only due to the fact that I got to see my Brother, Toni, Paige, David and Nichole!! They all came to the Dallas show. My brother is a HUGE Red Jumpsuit fan so It felt really good to get to introduce him to the band and let him watch the show from the stage. Ive always wanted to do something for him that he would really appreciate… Toni and Paige even hung out with me after the show. I took them on my bus, showed them around and then just left them at the BBQ for 20 min while I went and took one my coveted showers! Word…. But the best part was after that, I walked them to their car and when they were gonna give me a ride back we decided to stop at McDonalds… We were in the drive through, it took us 20 min to get what wanted across to the lady. We finally pull around, She hands us like a whole extra meal that we didn’t order, but yet I apid for and THEN…..then we asked for some sweet and sour sauce. She gave us 2. Paige said… Can we have some more please?? And she says… in quite a bitchy tone….You know we charge for dose…. So I get pissed because in my mind… 2 more sauces isn’t a big deal… So I ask, how much are they?? She says 27 cents. So I say… well, Ill take $4 worth… And she says, “ you want a who??” h aha! So she sits there for a min counting out an entire bag of sauce for us, hands it to us, says nothing and slams the window…. Ha ha ha! Good times….

Anyway, When we got to Houston, It was raining all morning. But we only cancel shows if there is lightening. Well, it showed up to. I had just unloaded my first truck when they decided to cancel the show. So we load all the gear right back into the truck. And its stops raining. The comes out and it’s a beautiful day. I was pissed. So we had the day off, BUT we were supposed to have 2 days off in a row then start the 12 days in a row… But because we canceled the show, we had to stay the next day and do the show in doors! Which meant, only 1 day off before the 12 days…. Lame. The indoor show was ok, pretty loud, but not bad. I got to see that Matches that day. They played on my stage. That was my first time to go from work mode to Oh my God, im a fan…. I went up to the singer and introduced myself, told him what I did on tour … and then I asked him what songs they were gonna do…. He said, Do you need that from all the bands?? I was like, no, Im just a fan and I was wondering what songs you were gonna play! Ha! So he tells me what theyre gonna play and I start asking why they aren’t playing all my favorite songs…. He just says, Dude, im just glad you know my songs! ….. So I dug that. It made my day worth while.

We did Atlanta yesterday, where I got to meet the fat kid from Accepted and Knocked Up!!! He was out promoting the new movie Super Bad and I got to on his bus and chill with him for a min….Yeah, I mad him say Smasmorshin like a billion times!! Ha!

Today was 1 of 4 days in Florida… Yeah, Florida sucks. I was in Jacksonville today and dude… it was so hot. I think the hottest I have EVER been in my life… you just sweat all day. Its horrible. And all this work and dirt and sweat is making it hard for my tattoo to heal!! Oh yeah, I got a tour tattoo! Ha! On Friday the 13^th, since it is the 13^th Warped tour, and the stage I work is called “13” a bunch of us got “13” tattoos. So, yeah… its not wanting to heal properly and It makes me mad…. Anyway, I think ive written enough for one night. Im quite ready for bed. But, I will write more soon and I hope to talk to you all….. or most of you… hehe, soon!

Late!
