El Paso Tx

spent all day yesterday driving. i slept the majority of the whole time getting to our final stop for the day in el paso. which we werent too excited about but we didnt want to pull an all nighter. we got a tip that we had a place to stay at a friend of a friends house but we had to wait before they got off work at midnight. killed time at bars till than just to make the decision that a hotel would be a better option. wish we wouldve just decided that earlier. would've saved me money. slept ok, first night out of my own bed after a few weeks home is always kinda weird, but i'll get used to it fast. tonights stop is tempe at the yucca tap room where we pick up t.j.'s replacement for the next two weeks, his roommate pryor, or as we have been saying:"t.j. 2.0". leaving hotel shortly.

florida.

So we've been holed up at erics moms place for the past 3 days, so awesome to stay somewhere that reminds of you of your own mamas place, homecookin, tv watchin, laundrysizin.yes. Today we had to say our farewell to momma hq and head off to jacksonville where we will be making a racket on the water, literally on a boat. Should be fun, hopefully we wont sink..Past couple shows outside of tx have been kinda slow, metarie was cool for the fact that we got to meet 3 different folks that drove hours to come see us, tampa was a slow starter but ended up fun, orlando was early as fuck, but still pretty fun. Cant wait to head up north and get up in boston and nyc. We get to hang out with marky ramone. Crazy. In the van now, king khan and the shrines, 2 more hrs till our destination, word up

2 more days and were off

just got off work, its 4:31 am here in austin tx. perfect weather out the past week which is saddening to have to leave behind but im really excited to get out there and start playing again. im really excited to see all my old friends around the country and catch up, its been far too long it seems (it really hasnt but being home for a month after touring constantly can seem like an eternity) our first stops are in texas than we head through the south to florida, up the east coast, through the midwest and back. than were home for like 2 weeks or so and than we head out west to meet up with our buddies in rise against and rancid, now thats gonna be fucking crazy, cant wait. i'll definantly keep up with this little journal while were out. what sucks is that i lost my camera during sxsw! im gonna try and get another before we head out, i really liked keeping track of everything visually as well as writing. i think i have a couple of solo shows while were out as well, i know sure in baltimore and possibly chicago, i'll keep it updated as info comes in! till than...lay em down and slap em yap em!
