TOUR: Provo, UT

HANGING OUT:

Today is Joe from Forgotten Charity's birthday and he doesn't want anyone to know or do anything special for him, so his bandmates throw him a big pool party at a waterpark and invited everyone and their mom to come.

The park was sick! There were water slides and a really big pool and a children's area for Garrett to frolic. One slide was so ridiculously fast that we actually caught air when we went off the jump (and then I scraped my back and didn't notice the wound until we got back home 1/2 a week later). Probably the best part for us was that it cost $3 to go in. You seriously never hear of anything like that in California. A hater's gonna hate, but I love Utah!

After the park, we went to Patrick from FC's house which reminded me of a hobbit's home as it was underground and small and full of cereal. The restroom was lit only by blue light which is an idea I might bite off for future bathrooms (though, I'm thinking blacklight with glow-in-the-dark skull wallpaper... don't bite off me for that idea or I shall curse ye.) Patrick kept apologizing for everything in relation to his living situation but for about $200 a month, we were all violently jealous.

THE SHOW:
Velour Live was my favorite venue on the tour. Sorry to other venues, but read this and know why:

1. The green room was wall-to-wall in album covers

2. A Giant Jimi Hendrix mirror was the centerpiece of my vanity
3. They recorded us live!
4. Dolls with wings flew around the top of the ceilings
5. THE PLACE WAS PACKED!

That night we opened for Forgotten Charity to a full venue with college kids ready to see some serious rocking. We pretty much felt like we were playing in San Diego with the kind of crowd that was there and they seemed to really like us and we were stoked to give them everything we have. Also my buddy Colin took some amazing pics of us, we'll post the shoot when we get them back.
