Hold on...I gotta sneeze again...tire blowout...

We blew a tire...and we're waiting for a towtruck bc the last place we
changed a tire use an airgun to 'weld' the lugs back on the tire and we
can't get em off...so todd and I are leather-trampin down the road bc he
wants to see a dead armadilla...no luck though...so we came back and now
we're just pacing around while the nice sir, lends us a hyraulic jack
and an airgun to change this tire...

Armadillo...

We're driving to Sloss Furnace now...and Jesse is driving...I'm playing
a road-game with him...the only rules are to be the first one to call
out when u see armadillo roadkill...if u call it and it ends up just a
tire shred or a dog it doesn't count and u earn negative 2 pts...I'm
currently down...-2 to Jesse' 1...we just saw a bear cub roadkill...so
sad...we better see some dead armadillo bc I need to make up some
points!

Sloss Furnace

We're playing this place called 'Sloss Furnace' ...its apparently an old
steel blasting furnace...it looks ridiculous...although quite a few
people have died at 'Sloss Furnace', only two known ghosts have appeared
during the many paranormal experiences...I can't wait...I love that
shit...I love ghosts ...we're gonna look for the "Ghost Hunters" episode
on Sloss tonight on our day off...

"Get out of this place while we still have time"

Stubbs was sickie, to say the least...I was so tired when I got back to
the motel...I passed right out...I was soo stuffed from all the
delicious food...Stubb's BBQ sauce is my favorite ever...bar none....

I forgot to take pics of the venue...but it was outside...it was this
big pit of dirt, looked like it was for throwing huge bbq's with a
rockabilly band jammin out on the stage...it looked sweet...and the show
was fun as hell...

We're currently driving to Birmingham, Alabama...which I hear is a realy
shitty area...worse than the Warfield in San Fransisco...you remember
all the zombies? Right? Ill get myself situated with blade at hand...and
airsoft gun at hip...haha jk...ill be fine...I have jae with me...and
he's been training for this day for a really long time...

I'll shred some blog later...if you don't mind...late!

Fellas out there trying to make that dolla, pulled up in my 6-4 Impala...

Uh oh...tour pranks are already goin down... yesterday we played a festival called Edgefest in Frisco, Texas, with 3 Doors Down, Finger 11, Seether, Bily Talent, Filter, MCR, Chevelle, Sick Puppies, Drive A, and more...after we played to a shit ton of crazy texans, Billy Talent played on the same stage...Bob Bryar found his way to our van and asked us for 2 posters so he could write "YOU SUCK" on em...so of course we hooked it up and Bob, Jae and Cortez wandered into the middle of the crowd during Billy Talent's set...Bob has his head down to hide from adoring fans that would've mauled him if they knew it was him under his hoodie...he threw up the signs that read "YOU SUCK" and this 'prank' quickly backfire as Ben, the singer of Billy Talent' saw Bob and his make shift heckle and said "hey everyone, there's Bob Bryar from My Chemical Romance!" and the whole crowd turned...Bob's face sank in fear as he sprinted back to the gate to get backstage where he was safe...haha so funny...you shoulda seen the look on Bob's when he
realized hejust got called out...

we're now on our way to austin, texas...where we will play a venue called 'Stubbs'...you may not know of Stubbs unless you're a barbeque sauce lover, but stubbs is the home of one of the best...its called "stubbs bbq sauce"...get you some...its amazing...

I just found out that my buddy jay dibene reads my blog...so I wanna take this line to say what up to him...he's pretty sweet...Hi Jay Juhbene!

I think we have 7 or 8 more shows on this tour maybe? Its gonna start winding down...I'm so stoked for the big bang at the end at Madison Square Garden in good old New York City...I get goose bumps...I don't know if you've heard of it...a lot of bands get their start there...its a decent sized club...not too flashy...its a great local band hangout...the Knicks play there...Madison Fuckin Square Garden...ill see you there...

I'm also excited for a festival we're playing in memphis, tennessee...Beale Street Music Festival, I think its called...we're playing on the same stage Ben Folds, Project Pat from the 3-6 Mafia...and the mutha fuckin Roots! The festival is huge...Aretha franklin, Santana, Fergie, MCR, Sheryl Crow, Matisyahu, Lou Reed,Buddy Guy, Arrested Developement, Black Crowes, O.A.R., Gavin Degraw, Jerry Lee Lewis...how crazy is that shit?

Nawlins pics 1

New Orleans is known for its culture and history...we just check out
some of the beautiful cemetaries...its a shame that Katrina messed it up
so bad though...I heard Hurricane Katrina referred to as "that bitch" by
someone who lives here in Naw'lins...here are some pics from the
cemetary...I got this sad feeling all over me while walking through
it...
...danny fitz...

Wow, new orleans is such an awesome place...the show just ended and all the lil kiddies were sent home, due to a curfew...and now the adults will play...they've been playing all day but now its really time...for real...its time...

We just played the House of Blues and its always a treat...the food is always so amazing and I always eat too much and now I'm stuffed and don't wanna move...I'm laying on my bed in a motel in new orleans and I don't wanna move ha...I took some pictures...if you've never been to a House of Blues...ill describe them...awesomeness...done deal...nah for real though...they're very dark and seedy looking...everything is old and just looks like its got history...and it probably does...its extremely cozy with a hint of voodoo and there is amazingly strange art everywhere
you turn...and they've got the best bathrooms a band could want...we've played some venues with shitty water closets...stall doors half on hinges...no urinals, but a big metal sink filled with ice the length of a wall...we've even seen a room with 2 toliets side by side...no dividers in the middle of a room...now who the fuck is gonna take a dump, with there boy dumping less than a foot to his right...I mean sure, they can play battle shits and high five eachothers hits on the destroyer...but that's just ridiculous...but yea...house of blues bathrooms...extremely comfortable and friendly...a good enviroment to number 1 or 2...hell...drop a tres if ya got one...

I'm not drinking until madison square garden...so I don't know exactly what bourbon street hold...maybe ill flash some people and aquire some beads and call it a night...we SHOULD take the video camera out with us...stupid shit always happens when u have a camera...we'll for sure see...we're gonna meet up with the billy talent and my chem dudes first though...

I'll write later...in the distant future...the year 2000...

Oh! Robert Plant was chillin at the music store across from the HOB...that will be all...
