Woke up early. Watched Back to the Future part 3 in the van (I watched the other 2 2 days ago). I then watched The Royal Tenanbaums. Successful movie watching day. Ate DQ for lunch. Had a peanut butter crunch blizzard. They used the wrong kinda crunch but I forgive them because it was still amazing. Snow was horrible. Roads were worse. Show was pretty rad minus the 2 fights during our...

For the first time in a long time in a long time I got a good night of rest. I think I got like 8 or 9 hours. We are now at Rocketown in Nashville, TN and I just got a night hot shower. I feel so much better now. I can’t wait for the show tonight. Last time we played here it ruled. I’m so excited!

As soon as the show ends in Texas the snow starts coming down heavy. Load up is a bitch. Everybody is wet. Van is wet. Drink a little more nyquil than I should. Lying down on the 3rd row bench. Listening to Man Overboard. Brakes? Brakes? BRAKEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS………? Our van slides off the road. Luckily Man Overboard was behind us and helped us dig out the van and trailer. We...

Feb 20, 2010. Vegas. Beat Soupy 2/3 in rock, paper, scissors therefore resulting on us getting large per diems for the day so we could gamble. Walked the strip. Stopped at the Paris casino to gamble. Wasted 25 bucks. Not too bad. I was entertained for a while. Soupy, Stevie, and I went back to the house we were staying at because we were getting sleepy. Soupy owned the owners of the house in dice....

February 19, 2010. Sick. Medicine isn’t really helping. Drove from 4AM until 10AM. Arrived at Charlie’s house in LA. His crib is pretty awesome. I slept for 3 hours. Showered. Soupy went off to hang with one of his friends. Stevie went shopping. The rest of us went out for lunch at some Italian joint. No free refills on soda… weird/lame. Left Charlie’s place to drive to...

Drove from 5AM until 10AM. Sacramento, CA. Van Problems. Getting the van checked when we leave Cali because they don’t do free diagnostic tests here. Finally bought an air freshener for the van (hopefully the van will no longer smell repulsive). House Show!!!!! Ate a huge apple. Hung out with Kira because she was in CA visiting a friend. Played 2 awesome sets with Man Overboard and The...

Portland, OR. Free Mexican food (thanks to Brenden). Soupy got a nice haircut. Watched a bunch of weirdos walk around the streets of Portland. Drove to Olympia, WA. Played my first show on drums with Man Overboard tonight. TWY set was rad minus my guitar breaking. The nut either needs to be filed or I need a new one. The high E string will not stay in the nut. We are now in Seattle, WA at Carmens...
