day 7, ballin'

I'll try to be as short as possible. After sleeping in the four-runner at the local Walmart in Charleston, SC, we woke up the next morning and tried several tire joints before finding one that had our trailer tires. 255 dollars, yay! We then drove to Fayetteville, NC, and played a show to small unenthusiastic crowd. We never do well in bars. It's either a situation where the crowd is too mature and forward thinking to get our straight forward approach to punk or people are top 40 types. The next night was the same noise in a different town and finally the Luna bean, another empty venue playing to the bands we tour with. Fun times. There was some cool parts about these shows like breaking into a skate park and filming the guys do some street skate shiz. That night we drove to Virginia beach to stay with Corey's aunt and see Christian"s older brother. We arrived in Virginia beach early that morning and crashed hard. Right now, I'm sitting in a hotel in East Orange, N.J. We went to NYC today and it was amazing. I saw an assortment of homeless people, bright neon signs, and comic books. A comedian who was supposedly opening for Dave Chappell and Charlie Murphy was hounding us into buying tickets outside of the toys r us in Times Square. He was an extremely rude and poor salesman.

Tomorrow is bamboozle. I can't wait to see the get up kids.


eff the world,
