Wheel Chair Mosh

Tour is fucking awesome so far. Sunday we played in Iowa City with Cross Examination and they were so incredible live. It was the first time that I ever saw them. You know the last song they played was Reign In Blood by Slayer and it slayed so fucking hard. Outside of the show there were bums all over Iowa City looking for a handout. Always blows my mind. Had a really chill night at our friend Joe's house, hanging out, eating and talking late into the night.

Had our show Monday in Illinois get canceled but luckily our good buddy Jeff Chord got us on a show in Cedar Falls at a bar called The Hub. It was like a back to school bash and we played with a ton of high school bands. A few of the bands were really really good and they were like 15 year old kids which got me really pumped on punk rock music. The show was a killer time, but a long night because 9 bands played and we went on last. I was really excited to see some Iowa friends for two days. Matt and I tried to break into a snap fitness at 2:30am and that didn't go over well. Saw a janitor at a rec center on the walk back to Jeff's and asked if we could come in to lift. He told us "I shouldn't even be talking to you, you'll come in here and get wild." All in a voice that sounded like the farmer dude from Waterboy.

Today we had a long drive from Cedar Falls to Indianapolis so we left Jeff's at 9:00am and started our Journey. A nice chill day of driving and it didn't go by too slow. Pulled up next to a truck full of turkey's that were mere feet from me and I was absolutely terrified. Had a lot of laughs in the van and at the show today. We have a really good group of people with us on this tour. The show tonight was awesome. It was in this huge building that an artist has called The Murphy Building. We played with Sometimes, Axis and Allies & Crime In Stereo. Axis and Allies was fucking amazing, check them out, they're from Indianapolis. Crime In Stereo gave a shout out to The Party Plex and we all hooped and hollard and everyone else in the place had no clue what was going on.

Just drove an hour and a half north to stay with our best buddies in Kokomo, Indiana. We had to stop at a White Castle first. The fries were great but I had my first White Castle burger and it was fucking terrible. Now we're hanging out at our friends with an awesome dog named Cody. Matt and I are going to try and lift at a gym a few miles away. It's like 2:00am but what else do we have to do when everyone else is at the bar? We have our first day off tomorrow but that is luckily one of two we'll have on this tour (if all goes well that is). I'm kind of bummed because we had a show but it's whatever. Driving to Cleveland, OH tomorrow and Danny is gonna buy us a hotel room. HBO, swimming pools and vending machines. Playing in Buffalo, New York on Thursday at a sweet house called The Argyle. This tour is looking to be an awesome time. So many jokes and movie quotes. Time to go lift.
