The Why So Serious Tour Come To An End....

Im sitting in a hotel room in Tucson Arizona right now laying in the floor, I believe everyone is asleep.

This week has been amazing. We were in California most of the week. We played Chico, S.L.O. Fresno, Bakersfield and Victorville last night.( I didnt realize actually how much we were in cali till just now)
All of the shows were really rad. The day after we played SLO we spent a day at the beach. It was fantastic me and my buddy Loren looked for sand dollars. He found quite a few , I found one haha. and me and Gavin walked down the dock and talked to an 80 year old lady about her son such an awesome day.

Tonight the Why So Serious Tour came to an end. Im super bummed to be honest. I made some life long friends on this tour. Really sad to see us all go on other tours. We dont play again until thursday in Wisconsin I believe where the Uncle Fester tour will start with Relient K. Im very excited to be on a stage with those guys i've listened to there music since i was in middle school, funny im now getting to tour with them.

anyway im so tired its ridiculous

love,

Why So Serious Tour with The Cab, A Rocket To The Moon, and Hey Monday

In the past 6 days it seems we've been in the van more than usual. Thursday we played Pocatello, ID in a barn ( not an actual barn but a venue that looked like a barn) on the second song someone unplugged something and all the microphones went out luckily Shane ( our sound guy ) ran on stage and pretended to play guitar. It was one of the funniest moments of the tour so far you probably had to be there and know it wasn't planned. You cant take yourself to seriously here on the why so serious tour haha.

Friday we played Boise. Me and my buddy Loren from Rocket bought 4 dollar tank tops at urban, Great Deal!!! After the show we drove overnight back to Seattle, spent a day there, went to a wedding, chilled out and by sunday we were back on the road. A tire blew on the trailer about 10 minutes from Andy's house so instead of leaving at 9 am we ended up leaving at 4 in the afternoon for Reno. On the overnight drive I realized my cell phone was broken and wouldn't hold a charge at all. kinda sucked but I ended up getting one yesterday refurbished for no charge so no complaints.

I didn't expect the Reno show to be as great as it was, no offense to Reno. The crowd was great, I felt we played a good show, and all the bands just had a good day of hanging. I lost 40 bucks in a casino, the sad part about it was I had already won about $110.00 and decided I would rather see how much I could win in the last 2 minutes we were there or how much I could lose. Obviously I lost it all, but it was totally worth losing $40 to me.

As I keep typing dollar signs I realize how weird it is that when we read $110.00 our mind thinks one hundred and ten dollars. not Dollars one hundred and ten. maybe I just confused you?

Anyway. now were in Chico, CA . Its a cool small town to play a show in. All kinds old buildings turned into cool clothing stores, little diners, and lots of college town hippies.

Im pretty bummed this tours last show is on Sunday. Im sure most people who tour often are used to making close friends in other bands and saying goodbye but I feel like I've made some long time friends on the road. It'll be very weird saying goodbye and not knowing when we will hang again since everyone has tours coming up. Lunch Time for me and I really want a Mountain Dew. See Ya

The Road So Far...

The Road So Far....
So we've been on the road for 2 weeks tomorrow, it seems like 3 days to me. I've actually been away from home for a month and a half already. I spent a month in Seattle practicing with the band before we got on the road . Everything is so new to me! Its still way exciting so Im not missing home to bad yet.

As of right now were in the van on our way to Iowa where we will be playing tonight.We had an off day show yesterday in Salt Lake City, Utah with a band called Everybody Else, They were such a great band and awesome dudes. We all stayed at a house together last night in Salt Lake and played some guitar hero. We've actually been listening to there record all morning in the van I think its going to be one of my new favorites.

All the bands on this tour are so great. Im so stoked my first tour is with such great people. At every show all the bands are outside the venue acting like kids together trying to get into something. This Providence and A Rocket To The Moons Ep albums are releasing on the same day in October! Both are sick! Were both playing some of the new stuff on this tour.

The road is alot different than I thought it would be. I was sick the whole first week with some awful cold and just warn out from driving all over the west coast doing shows before the tour. Im getting better now though , still a little cough but thats it. I always thought I would see all of these cool things going all these places but there's so much to do and at night Im so exhausted I just forget but I did see the Alamo in San Anotonio. I immediately texted my mom a photo and she replied Pee Wee Herman's bike wasn't in the basement from Pee Wee's Big Adventure ( one of my favorite movies) haha.

Im going to try to find the drive to update this a couple times a week!
Love You All
