fallen victim to filling in a few blanks in a pre-scripted entry.
Well, I'm going to attempt to re-format my entries. This should make
things more enjoyable to read. I hope to have something funny or
entertaining to share on a daily basis.
Here's my first attempt at livening this thing up!
---------------------------------------------------------
Baltimore is one of my favorite cities to visit when on tour. This is
the guys' second home, and I feel like it's become the same way for me.
The friends, the food, the atmosphere.....they're all great.
We rolled into town a little early and picked up our friends, Julia and
Jacqueline. We hit up Wal-Mart for some essentials. This Wal-Mart had
two stories....it was madness. We rolled up to the venue and I see this
van (and trailer) with Missouri plates. Turns out some buddies of mine
from St. Louis hopped on the show last minute. Jackpot!
Julia and Jacqueline decorated our van with Christmas stuff while we
were inside the venue. The blew up a bunch of red balloons and put them
inside the van. They also put holiday stickers and some crisco (to
imitate snow) on our van windows.
It was legit!
The show turned out to be a good time. We got a good amount of free
drinks, which was nice. After the show, everyone went to the bar in the
upstairs of the venue. It was the first night the whole tour hung
out......good time! It's nice to hang out with people outside of the
'work environment.'
After the bar, we did the 4th meal thing at Taco Bell. Man, those Taco
Bell bucks really come in handy. We got to Julia and Jacqueline's place,
and they had Christmas presents waiting for us! I swear, these girls are
too good to us.
I got a book called 'Do Penquins Have Knees?' It's filled with answers
to all these odd questions....it will definitely be an interesting
read. The girls also got me (and all the band members) a stuffed
elephant doll and a homemade creature to to put on our keychains.
Sweet.
We crashed out and woke up feeling a little less than perfect. Ha. We
met up with our producer and friend, Brian McTernan. We went to his
house and saw his newborn baby, Cassidy. She's only a month old...she's
so little.
Brian took us all out to lunch an awesome restaurant. I had this pumpkin
cream cheese stuffed french toast.....it was amazing! After lunch, we
peaced out and started heading toward tonight's show (in Allentown,
PA). We're currently still in route to the show....

Oh, and it was not crisco that we put on your van, we just tried to clean the windows, thats all dirt : )
alex,
i just want you to know that i wasn't part of the "your blog is boring" contingent since i didn't know they read it. (i'm just really creepy ♥) jacq and i spent two hours at lunch talking about the show and compared notes, so i feel even worse about the look on your face when you said, "i know it's boring!" i mean, save that look for when i actually cause emotional stress. :)
oh and my comments from now on will be shorter than this one...
wait wait wait. DO they have knees?!
I didn't think your blog was boring, but thanks to the Js for livening it up a bit. It was awesome to see you guys. Come back soon please?
