We bought a new van, counted all of the merch, packed the trailer and put a hitch on the van. The trailer lights stopped working but we rigged that shit up real ghetto. The lights have worked for the past day and will hopefully hold out for a few more until we have time to get it fixed correctly.

Today we packed all of our shit in our van and left for MA. I always love playing MA. The show in Worcester at the Palladium tonight is pretty awesome. I’m guessing that there are over 1,200 people here tonight. My friend Cindy and her boyfriend Mike came to hang with me. It was very enjoyable. Tomorrow we are buying our 3rd van of the week because yesterday our hitch ripped off of our...

Minus all of this shit recently… buying new flights since we miss ours in Germany and buying a van that shit on us in 2 days, everything has been awesome. $10,000 dollars in the hole just from this past week but what the hell, it’s just money. The first 2 Streetlight Manifesto dates of the tour were incredible. Both shows, one in MD and one in Philly were sold out. I believe that the...

The studio is going well today. I’m glad things are falling into place. Finished my harmonies a bit ago and now moving onto aux percussion.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Hopefully next year I’ll actually be able to spend it with you.

Recording music used to be one of my favorite aspects about being in a band. Recently this has all changed. With the time given to write, practice and record, I’m doing my absolute best though. Guitars suck and don’t like to stay in tune in our retarded tuning, I tend to bend strings when I don’t want to because of my clumsy fingers/lack of talent, acoustic guitars are hard to...

Due to intonation issues and mental blocks today was a rough day in the studio for me. I am use to being able to track pretty quickly and today just wasn’t like that. After all the hard work and headaches everything sounds great. I am glad to be done. Nick is tracking now and is killing it.

We’ve been practicing for like 6 hours every day since we’ve been home from euro tour. I am really excited to play with a 6 piece on the Streetlight Manifesto tour coming up. Lots of time and effort has been spent revamping the songs. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
We will be in the studio for 4 days late this week to record 4 songs and I couldn’t be more excited!

I’m back in the great US of A now. So much stuff happened in the past month. Instead of writing about what I did every day, I’m just gonna share the highlights as well as a few shitty things that happened.
- Got drunk with the All or Nothing boys way too often
- Saw a ton of friends that I’ve missed for so long
- Hung with the Maycomb lads
- Played drums for Fireworks when...
