Chattanooga, Tennessee

What to say about the last couple of days here. Let me try to remember. My mind is all over the place. Mitch recently got me hooked and addicted to coffee so I've been staying up really late and not thinking too clearly. After our show in Milwaukee we woke up the next day and made a pretty boring / shitty drive to Indianapolis. I spent the entire time watching Season 5 of Dexter and listening to the new and terrible Weezer record "Hurley." Majorly disappointing. We had to deal with dumb fucking traffic about 20 minutes outside of Indianapolis but we finally figured it out and made it to The Dojo.

Our show in Indianapolis was a lot of fun but not many people showed up. We booked it about a week and a half before we played there and apparently the Colts were on Monday night football so I wasn't too broken up about it. We got to play with In The Face of War who after 10 years is breaking up on May 7th, 2011. Pretty wild stuff. We also played with Full Rainbow (formerly The Sorely Trying Days) which is always awesome. After the show we had some incredible diner breakfast then I stayed up late as hell watching The Office.

The next day in Indianapolis we had to get up to make the long trek down to Nashville, Tennessee. After another boring and uneventful drive we finally made it to Nashville and ended up playing a really sweet show at a venue called Little Hamilton. It was a pretty big show and we had a blast. Post show we ate some Waffle House (maybe the 15th time on this tour) and stayed with this really nice dude named Jessie. His roommate busted in the door around 2:30am drunk, stumbling and screaming. Tyler was in the line of fire when this girl yelled "MOVE ASSHOLE" and kicked him in the head. Poor T. Also earlier in this day he was climbing a tree to get a picture taken in front of this huge dinosaur at Dinosaur World and a thorn fell from the tree and cut his eye. He had a terrible night.

Today we had a really short drive to Chattanooga to a show that wasn't slated to start until 10:30pm. A 7 band show. It was at this really sweet house called Anarchitca (get it?) that has been doing shows for 8 years. Blew my mind. The show was AWESOME. A ton of people showed up and the kids were really supportive and got wild for all of the bands. Everyone was wasted. A girl was showing her breasts and making out with other girls so people would donate money to the bands. Thomas hit on a babe for a while, got her number then struck out hard. Some dudes stole another guys keys and chucked them into the forest then kicked his moped over. A lot of sloppy drunkeness. Hard drunk moshing. Jacob Justice had to throw a few people by their hair off of the Agress merch. People had their dogs at the show, it sucked.

We left the show and had the best Waffle House experience ever. Our waitress was wild. She told us she had 8 assault charges, just got back to Chattanooga from running from the law, and was now working 10pm - 3:00pm everyday. Yeah you read that right, 10:00pm at night to 3:00pm the next day. Shit life. Now we're at this house finally where I don't think anyone actually seems to live at. It's now 5:00am eastern standard time and I plan on waking up in 5 hours to go to the gym. Today is our last show with Agress then those boys will continue on to the west coast. We only have 3 more shows left ever. Hope to see the Midwest show up on Saturday!
