Chicago, IL (The Metro)

We finally played the Metro in Chicago. The guys had been looking forward to this show for a long time!

The show went really well. There was a great crowd and the guys got a great crowd response.

I had a ton of college friends come out to the show. It was great seeing all of them!

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again...I love Chicago! We've got our first headlining show there on September 6th (at Subterranean). I'm really excited for that!

Detroit, MI (The Magic Stick)

Last night, we were at The Magic Stick in Detroit. This was about the fifth time we've played this venue.

Last night's show was definitely the best Magic Stick show we've played. There were about 500 people and the guys got a great crowd response.

After the show, we drove overnight to Chicago.

Our show tonight is at The Metro in Chicago. This is the first time we've ever played there. We were supposed to play there in February with Simple Plan (and the show was already sold out), but it got cancelled last minute.

I think tonight will be a great time. I'm stoked for it.

Grand Rapids, MI (The Intersection)

We were back at the Intersection in Grand Rapids on Thursday. The show was SOLD OUT! (800 people)

The guys played pretty well, but the crowd was pretty dead. We did decent on merch though, so I guess the crowd must have been into it!

After the show, we drove to our hotel outside of Detroit.

Cleveland, OH (Agora Ballroom)

We were at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland on Wednesday. This was the second time we'd been there. The show was pretty solid.

Cleveland has always been a weird city for us. The crowd was decent though.

After the show, we drove to Toledo and got a hotel for the night.

Lancaster, PA (The Chameleon)

Last night was Lancaster, PA. The venue was called Club Chameleon. We'd played here once before on the Mayday Parade tour.

The show ended up being bigger than I expected. There were 800 people there! Everything went pretty smoothly.

I don't really have a whole lot to say about Lancaster, PA. Ha.

We left after the show and drove about three hours. We're in Cleveland tonight, so we figured we would get a head start on the six hour drive from Lancaster to Cleveland.

Tonight should be a fun show. We have some friends coming from Erie, PA. We're looking forward to seeing them.

DAY OFF (NJ)

We had another day off today. We spent it at our hotel outside of NYC. Everyone slept in today. It was great!

This was our last off day of the tour, so I'm glad we got to enjoy it.

DAY OFF (NY, CT, NJ)

We woke up in Albany, NY yesterday. We made a trip to Ken's house. (Ken is the president of the record label). He had a BBQ with the band and some family friends. It was awesome! It was a great way to relax on our day off.

After that, we made our way to our hotel in Newark, NJ (by the airport). It was a solid day.
