ATMOSPHERE FROM THE ROAD
Hello everyone. The Warped Tour has been treating us good and we appreciate everyone's support for our last thirteen days on the road. We've been getting good crowds at the Maurice Stage daily, and the other bands have been great to play with. Peace to S.T.U.N, Yellowcard, Tsunami Bomb, Matchbook Romance, Rancid and everone else we've shared the stage with for the last few weeks.
Here's a brief one sentence run down from each day on the Warped front lines. Peoria, AZ...very hot over 100 degrees, our bus sorta hit another bus parking and the showers were dirty and like the YMCA. Oh yeah, the kids from Sum 41 mixed my drink athe afterparty...whoa. In Selma, TX the production office was far which meant several bike rides today.. also our stage blew some fuses, but we didn't get relocated. Dallas was fun, I got drunk and fell off a loading dock at the late night bbq party...this is the city the ongoing Cilo game began in with Bird up $10. In Houston, we finally got to take real showers in a hotel and Dibbs jumped off the stage and started a mosh pit...some kid hit him in the teeth. We were off in New Orleans, what else can i say besides more drunken times..word to Molly's on Decatur and Virgin Music for the DVD hook-up. Oh yeah, Dibbs bought a talking Mr.T voicebox. Atlanta was good times with people traveling to the show from Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and Mississippi...good times. Did we get rained on in ATL, I can't even remember? In Orlando at the fairgrounds was fun all the truck drivers fished on the lake all day. Crescent Moon did yoga and I drank at the Epitaph tent in the rain and missed the Cilo competition. St. Petersburg, FL, the first of two no cursing shows that Atmosphere still cursed at...it was fresh being on the ocean. Today I showered at the beach showers. Dibbs still gets in the pit everyday. Yesterday, in Pompano Beach we got rained on throughout the day and still cursed on stage without getting arrested...YEAH. We watched Fist of Fury on AMC and wrestled on the bus while watching Old School (the official tour DVD).
Today, we just wrapped up our show here in Jacksonville, FL...great show Murs and Dibbs tackled me on stage, so I poured water all over them. The party is still going on back at the bus lots while I sit here and type this in the production office.
Our bus is a mess and smells like pee. Our bus driver likes to drive on the shoulder. We will probably watch, "Old School" again tonight. Our bus call to depart Florida is at 11:00PM EST. Tomorrow, we play Charlotte, NC at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. Good night party people see you soon.
peez-JBird...P.S Phil what happened to the daily updates dawg?
