of Pittsburgh). The venue was really cool. It was an old church that
had been gutted and turned into a venue. We made load-in time and did
the normal show routine. I basically acted as the headlining tour
manager for the show. (I was the only tour manager on tour this past
week.) It was good practice for when we actually have a headlining tour
(maybe in the Fall or something...). This show even had security and
stuff. Pretty cool.
The guys played well. There was a decent crowd (for a Sunday night).
The crowd was kind of dead during the set. I took pictures and video
during the guys' set. I ended up getting some real good footage!
The green room at this place was pretty sweet! All the bands hung out
before the show. It was good to get some time with everyone before the
tour ended.
We are going out with a band called 'Punchline' in April. Steve (the
singer of Punchline) came out to the show. I already knew him through
interning at Fueled By Ramen. (Puncline is on Fueled By Ramen.)
Anyways, I got to introduce him to the guys. We hung out with him for a
while. It was cool.
Overall, our first national tour went really well! The first two weeks
went better than the third week, but overall, everything went pretty
well. We all learned a lot and we have a lot to look forward to. Our
next tour starts March 1st. The first four dates of the tour (are with
Jack's Mannequin) are going to be huge for us! I can't wait!!
(I probably won't update this again until we start the next tour.)
