Allston, MA

we woke up today and headed to Salem to have breakfast with Pike.
headed to the venue after which was a church hall. set up and george came out to the show.
tonight was by far the most insane show of the tour. the place was unbearably hot and awesome. after the set they did a blink 182, movielife, and saves the day cover. it was out of control.

tomorrow we head to the bronx

Millford, NH

"how about i hook you up with a choke slam?"
i slept most of the day again. seemed like a nice place.
Ian came out to the show and gave me the new neon hookers record.
a lot of kids showed up. i ended up doubling as some sort of security person keeping kids off the stage and messing everything up. it was ridiculously hot.
we went to dennys after the show. i ordered the slamburger with a boca patty and it was almost the best thing i've ever had.
we then proceeded to mosh in the parking lot and drive to boston.
tomorrow is Allston, MA.

Richmond, VA/Hackensack, NJ

the show at Alley Katz was great. so far the shows have been really good.
after the show we hit up Wawa. it was my first time at wawa and it was pretty much the best thing ever. got myself a veggie sub and some lemonade tea. we headed to DC to stay with Driving East and this morning headed over to Jersey.

i slept most of the way to Jersey so anything eventful that happened, i was not witness to it. we got to the venue and almost immediately mike and the other staten island people showed up. good seeing mike and beck again.

so far, a lot of truck stop and parking lot moshing.
playlist...a lot of Alpha Omega. why? who knows.

tomorrow is New Hampshire.

Augusta, GA (day off)

we stayed at some girls house last night. it was in the middle of the nowhere and it was a log cabin. it was all night raging and ridiculous. we left sometime this afternoon and went to the mall. as we walked in we stopped into a hot topic and proceeded to circle pit to Blink 182. it was the funniest thing i've seen in a long time.
on our way up the stairs we got free smoothies because the kids that worked there love SYG and gave us and fireworks free smoothies. after that, things didn't go so well. more on that later.

tomorrow is Alley Katz in Richmond, VA.

Columbia, SC / Augusta, GA

the SC show was the first really good show of this tour. a lot of kids showed up at this small venue and it was a good time.
we stayed at a hotel and just surrender's tour manager ended up in our room and he snores louder than anything ive ever heard.
jordan, matt, and i went on a late night adventure in SC. there is just nothing to do there. not so cool.

went to Augusta this morning and went fireworks shopping.
then we headed to the venue. Fireworks actually met up with us today. such a good show and they are out of their minds. this tour is going to be a lot of fun from now on.
todays show was actually really good also. hopefully more good shows to come.
tomorrow is another day off and then Richmond, VA on Sunday.

New Orleans

New Orleans was an alright show considering it was promoted for a week.
once again, funny looking kids doing funny looking dances.
after the show we headed down to Bourbon St. and it's still probably my least favorite place on this earth.
at the hotel, mikey decided it would be a good idea to wake joe up with his balls in hand and that didn't go over so well. there is a video and it's pretty much the best thing ever captured on camera.
we had a day off the next day and ended up going to see the Deftones at the House of Blues.

the drive to South Carolina was a long one, but possibly one of the most weird and hillarious journeys ever embarked on. see, we exist in the 3rd dimmension according to Dave and when you tap into anything after 3, things start getting warped in this vortex of time and you exist in a completely alternate universe.
last night, we were pushing the 6th dimmension.
at some point in Alabama, we experienced some (well, a lot of) southern pride. i've never seen so many confederate flags in one place in my entire life.
we ended up walking in and out about 3 times until we realized some of the people in there weren't so hot on the fact we were laughing at their "heritage".
the 6th dimmension ended somewhere between Montgomery and Atlants at a Waffle House.
it was my first experience at a Waffle House and it was awesome. once again, people were not speaking anything resembling English and doing things that just don't exist in real life.

South Carolina tonight.

Houston, TX

left Austin this morning. Ariel was quite the host.
got my haircut this morning and started the drive to Houston.
we are currently at the venue and well it's pretty terrible.
congratulations Houston, you have so far been the worst city and show....i also hate your baseball team.

heading to Louisiana tomorrow.

current van playlist is The Evolution of a Cro Magnon by John Joseph.
I got Dave and Matt hooked on it.
check it out if you havent yet.

Albuquerque, NM / Austin, TX

drove way too long from CA to NM to make it to a show.
apparently it was the venues birthday so they celebrated by having 19 bands play. what? so bad.
LARPING CHUDS roaming the streets of Albuquerque. jeez.
after the show, we went to some 24 hour mexican place that had security guards and had some sort of security check point at the door. weird.

Dave(quest) drove after the show and we went 4 hours in the wrong direction to get to Austin. well, it wasnt the WRONG direction, just the most non direct way.
matt and joe are still allergic to life and its pretty funny.

got to Austin..the show was pretty bad. not such a good turn out but it was the first day of the Snacksidents tour with Just Surrender and Driving East. everyone seems pretty cool and it's looking like it'll be a fun tour.
ate some more mexican food today and i finally got to shower.

Day 4

nothing happened today.
i spent my day on Mikey's front lawn organizing the merch and trailer.
tomorrow, well, later today we leave for Austin, TX to start the tour with Just Surrender, Fireworks, and Driving East. should be a good time.

Day 3

drove overnight from LA to San Fran.
Jordan got pulled over and somehow the bumps in the road shook up the engine and some belts got loose and the fan tore the belt up.
we got towed, now home. should have the van back in a couple of days for the start of the tour the 20th in Austin, TX.

matt wilson is allergic to life.
life comes from plants - pollen comes from plants - matt is allergic to pollen.
sad sad fact. but so true.

Day 2

got to the venue and spent most of the time organizing the merch and getting everything situated. show went well.
everyone went to go see Jeffree Star tonight.
We were invited to Ross Robinson's mansion but we didn't end up doing that.
Driving to San Francisco tonight.

Day 1

got into Long Beach earlier this morning.
hung out in LA until it was time to head over to the Chain Reaction to meet up with SYG.
most of my day was spent meeting and hanging out with internet celebrity and "queen of the internet" Jeffree Star. i'm not exactly sure what to think about today.
got to the venue and the merch situation was an absolute mess.
tomorrow is going to be another long day counting and getting everything sorted out.
made a lot in tips tonight, baller status. i'm such a charming young man.
