Sooo, tour so far. We have played three dates so far on this week tour because last Saturday after packing up to leave to our date in TN we turned our vehicle on to find nothing, we actually didn't turn on the vehicle. We turned the key and heard a click. Well after hours of tinkering and finally figuring out that there was no way this thing was going to run, we called and canceled the show. We hate doing this. So the next day we try to fix it ourselves and found out quickly Michael and I are no mechanics. We had to get a tow truck to take it to seretha's uncle who is a mechanic. The man prestigiously did the work at the cost of the expenses and we got the beast running. Well we drove down the road and we found out the speedometer didn't work. We had to take it back for that, so three hours before we had to leave for the show we didn't cancel we got the 4runner back and we left.
K, so we find the venue in peachtree city, and it's rocking. Lonely as shit and camping deep in the business side of town, this warehouse is empty besides one band and our friends in the disregardables. Jett hooked us up with some pasta and a place to stay that night. We spent the night talking with chex and crew about music, etc. The next day we headed to Augusta.
The traffic on 75 going to 20 east was ridiculous, people are godless beast in high traffic. We finally hit 20 east and everything was smooth sailing from there. We ended up coming a day early because we couldn't fill in a date for Thursday. Cory from our label was super awesome and i think he was everything we expected him to be. We talked music, movies, and business till his dad went to sleep for work and then we hit the sack. The next day we all woke up, took a shower, and hit up the local wally world for some 2 dollar meals. The show at Skate city was pretty cool, though very cold. The first band took two hours to set up and start their set. they were a bunch of high school metalcore kids writing 03 tunes, the second band was pretty good, they sounded very similar to cartel and fob, and then we stepped up to the plate and stuttered through our set at a breakneck speed. That's how we do, when we're nervous... we just play fast and hard, and hope kids get it.
Today we're playing a sector 7g, coming back to cory's for one more night, then taking the seven hour drive back home. So far the name of this tour has been perfect. drop out and go broke. I still think it's a wonderful thing though. Everything feels super good.
