Throwing Bricks

This tour has brought crazy times. Last night we jumped on a house show and it ended up being the best show of tour. It was in Concord, California and we played with Until Your Heart Stops & Rebuilt. Two bands that I beg you to check out because they're fucking incredible. The show was awesome and everyone was super nice to us. They even asked us to come play their show in Reno the 24th so now the only day off we have on this tour is today. Which is super incredible because we usually have a ton of days off from tour so it rules to get one rest day then hit it hard the last 11 days!

The show ruled and we were all hanging out then it finally started to die down around 2:30am. Some local kids were hanging around walking back and forth all night. Then when we were all getting ready to settle down and go to bed these two twenty some year old dudes and a girl walked up. They were asking if the show was going on and if all of the bands were good. They were told by Tony (owner of the house) that the show was over. They just stood there in silence watching everyone hanging out. Tony told them that they could leave now since the show was over. They didn't take too kindly to that. They were repeating everything Tony would say then they kept asking him who's van was who's. Tony finally got them to leave.

Minutes later they came back and started throwing bricks at two of the vans. Everyone ran outside to chase them away but they were nowhere to be found. Everyone was a little weirded out but we didn't think much of it and I laid down to go to sleep. When some of the dudes were standing in the doorway telling us the whole story another break flies into the entry way of the house and almost hits 4 different people. Everyone got really sketched out and didn't know what to do. We all wanted to move the vans so they didn't get fucked with. While we were deciding whether or not to leave or just move the vans MORE bricks started to hit the house. We said fuck that and packed up all of our shit and drove to Oakland to go to sleep.

Today we have our day off on tour. Usually I would be bummed but today we're finally getting vegan pizza here in Oakland! Then we have the following shows the rest of tour. Come out to Ghost House July 4th!
