north carolina

yoder,
so we're in the northern of the two carolinas with the duechebags we call paulson. they're fun guys but that guy mike is a real tool. for serious. just kidding, they're a blast. we also saw this kid at the olive garden (we go to chain resturants whenever our van breaks down, which it did, in delaware...sorry to anyone who came to see us in norfolk, va, we were stranded), anyway, so we saw this kid with plugs and dyed black hair, so when we had no place to stay, i called the olive garden and asked to speak to said kid and then asked him if he knew a place we could stay. he did! he said we could stay at his place. so, that is what we did, after hanging out in the pep boys parking lot for many many hours. cut to later that night, and i say, "hey, you should come on tour," so he said "ok," and it was on. the next morning we left 5 strong for virginia, and showed up to the next show with a new merch guy. meet dan. he's 22, likes the nightmare before christmas, and smokes cigarettes. today we are playing with our buddies 'alli with an i,' at the soap box in wilmington, nc. then a day off, then myrtle beach. life, as always, is both incredible, and insane. every day brings a new smile and a new brow furrow. lets just hope for more of the former and less of the latter. thanks for everything!
