So we returned from tour 2 weeks ago, I'm really dedicated to updating this.
And it was a life changing experience to say the least.
From getting a $300 dollar cymbal stolen, to being heckled by a 38 year old redneck from Vancouver, we all learned valuable life lessons over those two weeks.
Here are these lessons.
1. Your equipment is never safe, not even in the room where bands are supposed to keep their stuff.
2. Crack heads make great fans, but will never spread the word about how much they like you, because they have more important matters to tend to... like crack.
3. High School girls have nice houses, but they don't tell you they are High School girls till you see their report card for the 11th grade on their fridge.
4. There are murderous bitches in Lexington, that invite you to stay at their home, which happens to be a meth den, try to rape you and then, kill you.
5. Louisville Skatepark rules.
6. Stealing canned goods from convenient stores is a lot easier than it seems.
7. $13 goes along way at firework stores in Tennessee.
8. Free beer for bands isn't as common as you would think.
9. Catfish rules.
10. Drugs in Richmond are just as good as drugs in Tennessee... Drugs in NY are better than drugs in Richmond. So that expressed mathematically would be: Richmond Drugs ≤ Nashville Drugs < NY Drugs
11. Never consistently drive a 1995 Ford Econoline with over 150,000 miles on it, at 85 MPH... It will break down and cause you to stay in Milton, PA for 5 hours and make you rent a Uhaul to get back home.
12. Denny's will always suck, but always be there for hungry people at 4 am.
13. Cincinnati is the worst city ever.
14. Flight attendants who dye their hair red and interview bands for buzznet, like to get drunk and make out with red headed dudes in my band.
15. Her drunk friend likes to hook up with dudes from Emmure.
16. Some one will try to fight you in Chicago.
17. The Southern Accent started in PA and ended in PA.
18. Almost having an 18 wheeler run you into a wall is not as scary as it may seem.
19. You won't make money, and you will lose lots of belongings and your dignity.
20. I can't wait to do it again in July.
