the past few days.

i told myself that i would update this blog everyday i did something exciting or traveled somewhere, but i am already failing haha. anyways the past 3 days with All the Day Holiday have been amazing. ill give a little run down of what has happened....

on friday we woke up in nashville, took showers, and headed to an awesome coffee house called "ugly mugs" where tyler worked and we got some coffee before we headed out on our 6 hour drive to little rock, AR. they made their own blend of chai tea and it was delicious to say the least. we set off and a good pace and were making pretty good time until we blew a tire about 30 miles outside of little rock. mark and i ran out in the road and grabbed the tred before it caused an accident while the rest of the guys unloaded some of the gear and jacked up the van so we could change the tire.

we found out that the spare had some holes in the tred so we decided that it would be best not to push it, so we only drove 45mph until we got to the venue. that night they played at a pizza place/brewery/music venue called vino's. it was a pretty cool venue and the pizza was awesome. the show went well and the sound was solid so it was a good night all around.

that night we didnt have a place to stay so the guitarist of the other band that played that night let us stay with him at his friends apartment. it was a super nice apartment and it had a 24/7 pool and hottub that we got to enjoy. we met this wild guy named john who also stayed at the apartment with us and he was trying to put all of us in some wrestling move called "the crucifix" haha.

we woke up the next morning and headed out to find a new tire to replace the shaky spare that we currently had on the van. the hunt for a new tire was much more difficult than we thought it would be, but we finally ended up driving out of the way to a goodyear tire to get it replaced. while the tire was being replaced david and i ran across the street to office depot so i could get an external hard drive, it was a pretty solid purchase.

we got to the venue in st. louis that was in "the loop" and the place was awesome. everyone working at the venue was super nice and the sound, lights, and crowd were all amazing.

here are a few shots from the show.

the band that played after All the Day Holiday was awesome, and the guys name was spooky. i got to hangout with an old friend from ohio named julia which was nice and i also got to meet a lot of new people. we ate some pizza and loaded up after the show then headed over to the apartment where we were staying that night.

we stayed with our new friend chandra.

chandra was super nice and was also a photographer so we had a good time taking photos in her apartment and just hanging out. we stayed up pretty late that night listening to music and talking, and i finally fell asleep on the couch around 5am. we woke up the next morning and went to st. louis bread co. which is the same thing as panera so im not exactly sure why they need a different name, but regardless i got the you-pick-two and it was delicious. then we headed back to chandras to get out stuff together and head out to terra haute.

meet pickles, chandra's cat.

we left chandras and found out the show in terra haute ended up getting cancelled due to issues with the promoter so we decided to head home for a day before we head out to champaign, IL. ill be updating soon with stuff from the rest of the tour and ill have a ton of video footage up soon, so keep a lookout for that.
