Mt. Vernon, IL

I've spent the last three days in Nashville doing a lot of things, especially schmoozing, but it was fun. We were trying to get our songs in movies and tv shows and things like that, and I think went pretty well, we'll see though. Last night I went out on the town with some friends and Nashville bros are the worse kind. They all wear polo shirts, mostly pink or black with white stripes, and backwards baseball caps. We sat in the bar and played the name game (where you yell a random name trying to get someone with that name). Dudes were not into it at all. Our friend Ryan went up to some random group and started bro-ing down like he knew them and they were into it for about two minutes, until they saw the rest of us laughing in the corner. Later on some dudes wanted to pick a fight with us, supposedly because we were "faggots". Whatever. The night didn't end until about 6:15 am, I got a few hours of sleep and now we are at our next destination. Tonight we had a nice little surprise when we got here. We were told that John Davis, former Superdrag singer, will be opening for us. I'm excited as hell, and then I start thinking, this guy was in Superdrag, I used to love them, and growing up seeing them on MTV, weird. Then I met him and he is one of the nicest people on the earth. I can't wait to see him play. Also, the A/C is broken in the venue so it's about 105 in here right now, heat makes shows more fun. That's all for now, go buy John Davis' record, it's amazing. Oh yeah, I got the coolest picture frame in the entire world, it's got grim reapers on the sides, but the best part is the picture it came with, it's a dragon with skulls around it and then a weird faint creature from the black lagoon face about the dragon, just come to my house when I get home and stare at this wonderful thing for a while, I'll have it open to the public on weekdays.

I'm sick and on tour.

So right now I'm sick as hell, my throat is swollen, my body aches, I'm freezing cold and hot at the same time, and to top it off, for some reason I was spitting up blood earlier today, it's real shitty. But tomorrow is a day off so I'll get some rest. I can't think striaght about what has been going on in my world, I'll get my thoughts together and post on this thing a lot more often than I have been. One thing is, I hate liars, most of the time. Example; this kid tonight tells us he has our new record already, that it's been leaked to the internet, we get all scarred and start to point fingers, then Jeff gives him the third degree, asking where he got it, how long ago, which songs, and the kid buckled, told us he was nervous and didn't have any facts to back up his story, damn idiot kid. It's not impressive to a band when you tell them you have their new record a month before it comes out, awesome. More in a few days, I promise.
