Wednesday night we met back up with GDP in Houma, LA for the first show. It was at Good Times Lounge, a little bar with a bar tender straight out of a whitesnake video. Everyone who came out was really friendly and siked on the show. Got beers poured all over us during our set, got to do a little skating with GDP around town. After the show we all went back to our friend Tucker's house for a party. He had food there for us, and a bunch of people from the show came over. Well post up some videos from some of the people, i dont think any description would do this justice. One of the kids there wanted to challenge all of us to arm wrestling and beer drinking challenges, to say the least Colin showed him how to shotgun a beer w/o leaving half of it in the can or all over yourself like he had. It was pretty hilarious.

Thursday we woke up at Tucker's and headed out for Austin, TX. 15 minutes into the trip GDP got pulled over for not wearing his seatbelt, and right after that we got a flat tire on a draw bridge over some river. There was barely a shoulder for us to pull onto. We started changing the tire and some cops pulled up to try and block traffic for us. They told us that a lot of people and one of their cruisers have gotten thrown into the river from being parked where we were and the coast guard showed up to drag our bodies out of the water if something happened. Luckily were alive and got the tire changed. A shit ton of hours later we got to Austin, where our brakes seized up on us. Luckily Ryan knows his shit and fixed it up for us. We rolled up to the show at Snake Eyes Vinyl, pretty cool punk rock record store. Show was a good time, a couple of people came out, Daniel Joseph and GDP kill it if there's 5 people in the crowd or 500. Big shout out to Ryan's buddies Jesse and Daniel for coming out. Right after the show we took off for a long drive through the night to Las Cruces, NM full of Viveran, slush puppies, and flaming hot chile cheetos. James and I started out driving, the farthest west id been before this is Alabama, which isnt fucking west at all. So i was real siked to see so much open space and deserts and mountains.

Friday we got into Las Cruces at about 8am and went to our friend Carli's house and met up with a bunch of friends who drove out for the show and to pick up our friend Kyle who's on the road with us now. New Mexico is the shit. We went swimming at some apartment complex and cashed a 30pk in no time, and then all went and got food at Habeneros. Green Chile Cheeseburgers are easily the best thing you can eat. After eating and being out in the sun all day we went to this park and napped under some trees. We all woke up with terrible sunburns and went to the Bacon House for the show. Didnt look like a lot of people were gonna be there at first, if any, but there was probably 75-100 kids that came out to the smallest room i think any of us have played in, I'd say 10x12 max. The first people to play were some rappers from there who passed out 6 or 7 blunts to everyone in the crowd at the beginning of the set, then later on passed out 8 more. Everyone got into GDP and Daniel Joseph's set. We didnt really have a PA there, just a mic into a guitar amp and no mic stand, so when we played people had to just hold the mic up for us. Kids went apeshit, most fun show ive played. House shows are the way to go. Everyone got wild, crowd surfing, falling into the drums, beer spills, amps coming unplugged. We even threw down on a little Guns n roses cover. After the show we were trying to go to stay at this girls house and she had no idea where she lived, so we drove in circles until she finally figured it out and was nice enough to let all 13 of us sleep all over her house and catch some showers which were definitely needed. Got up this morning and all of us walked to Burrito's R Us for some breakfast burritos, I forgot to order green chile on mine but it was still pretty fuckin tasty. We sadly parted ways with all of our New Mexican friends but luckily will be seeing most of them again on our way back from recording. We also split up with GDP because he's heading to Albuquerque, but well be partying again in San Francisco for a night or two. On the road again, heading to Phoenix now for a show at Jugheads, just went through a check point, all clear. Cant wait to get to the studio, 2 days. This is the most fun ive had and hope it keeps going this way. We'll be meeting up with a couple friends to, as GDP would say, "wile out" by the pool and take our sunburns to the next level. We want to tour forever.
