such lame titles for my blogs but its true, ATL is hood. Were staying at my friends house down the street from bankhead, if you dont know what bankhead is do your reasearch son. This is kind of a wrap up blog for the last week of the "AC SLAY TOUR" and no i didnt make up that name, but you can imagine how stoked i was to be spending the better part of a month driving around the east coast with 4 bands with such a calling. The last week was spend mostly in the south, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia. The south is awesome for a few days then i get burnt out, this is probably because we still have no AC in the van and i lose 5 pounds of water weight everytime we drive somewhere. Orlando and tampa were rad shows, while in tampa we got to hang at the fueled by ramen warehouse and raid it for everything its worth, probably somewhere near 100 t shirts, 20 hoodies and a ton of accesories later we made our way out of florida like bandits. Made some new friends and cruised around ybor city, also known as "Gaybor" no joke, its apparently the gay capitol florida and was quite and interesting area once midnight rolled around. The creepy dude who thinks hes peter pan lives there, if that explains anything. We Made the drive to atlanta over night after the tampa show, i woke up early because my body doesnt let me sleep in, walked out of the van to get some fresh air and right in front of me was a holiday inn express, start to take notes if youre looking into the life of being a gypsy because i got all the free breakfast hot spots on lockdown, gimme a holla. A few waffles, fruit, yogurt and some orange juice and i was out, made our way to atlanta and spend the good majority of the day in the perimeter mall hanging out in brookstone on the massage chairs and tempur pedic beds. i need a tempurpedic bed asap. Atlanta show was sweet, the masquerade which is the venue that we played is an old massive steel mill and apparently its haunted, i didnt see anything but whatever. It was the last night of tour and such a bummer at that, im gonna miss all the dudes that became such close friends over the past couple weeks, theyre people you rely on to get by day by day, you dont have your friends or family from home, they become those people, friends that will stay friends forever, as lame as that sounds. So here i am, hanging at josh from joy in tomorrows house, working on my english homework, taking naps and about to watch the VMAs, we head to mississippi tomorrow for a hotel on the beach again. rough life, MY mom asked me what im learning our here on tour, its kind of hard to just spout off when asked such a question, but my mind doesnt stop spinning, learning about life and everything around me.A couple days off then start tour with our friends this providence a band called the cab and hey monday. im looking forward to heading west.
see you soon
