i wish i could say "y'all" more


something kinda crazy happened in memphis. our guitar tech and all around good dude, franny "lost" his phone. he said he put it down for a second when he was putting our gear on stage and it was gone. anyway, i hear about this after the show is over and me , tone and our drum tech mikey go looking for it. i figure if we call it and walk around enough, we'll hear it vibrating. anyway, i keep calling it and mikey hears it in the GARBAGE. yea thats what you do when you steal something and wanna get it at a later time. it was pretty shitty, but i was really psyched that we eventually found it cuz franny was pretty bummed.

besides that... last night was new orleans and my first experience on bourbon street. i bought a voodoo doll (picture included in blog) and a indonesian bone necklace at some crazy voodoo shop earlier in the day. the voodoo doll hangs in my bunk and protects me/ scares the shit out of me at the same time. at night we all hung out pretty hard and it was a pretty fun time overall. beale street doesnt compare...sorry memphians....?

sometimes i just think about what my life is and how bizarre it would be to 99.9% of people in the world. i try to never take it for granted and im usually one of the first people out of the bus and ready to explore a new city. i just like knowing that even if all of this ended tomorrow, i would have all of these memories, mementos and really good stories.

Who would throw a phone in the garbage? I mean, really. If you're going to take it, you should atleast keep it. or sell it or something. maybe thats just me. and half the world.

That voodoo doll is looking really creepy. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Did you name it? I would. probably Quark.

I'd definitely do the same thing as you when I'm in a different place. I'd take a lot of pictures too. I hope I get to travel the world sometime and you already have!

but, it sounds like you're having a good time on tour. i hope it stays that way. i will be seeing you next month<3

the voodoo doll would scare the crap out of me. i hate dolls.. probably because my parents bought a chuckie doll when i was younger and kept it outside their door...heh.
as for traveling i wish i could do HALF of the traveling you do. i would be such a complete tourist.. amazed and taking photographs of anything.

see ya real soon :D

that sucks about the phone gettin put in the garbage. that's pretty crazy. but at least you guys found it regardless, right?
nonono. that voodoo doll scares me so bad.
i'd be doing the same thing too, going to new cities all the time. i love traveling. it is pretty crazy that you guys are in a different state practically everyday. but it seems exciting to me.
