Dallas, TX (Prophet Bar)

Friday night's show was at the Prophet Bar in Dallas. The show was really good! The crowd was really receptive and all the bands played really well.

Our buddy, Wegs, ran merch for me that night. It was a nice relief. I got to hang out with the bands during the show, which was a good change of pace.

After the show, we drove toward Ft. Worth and stayed with our buddy, Sean. We woke up the next day and drove to our show in Austin.

San Antonio, TX (Rock Bottom Bar)

I'm here at the merch table in San Antonio. It's midnight and the show is coming to an end.

We survived the overnight drive from Tucson. It was pretty intense with no A/C, but we did it.

The venue tonight is pretty run down....they weren't lying about the "Rock Bottom" part. Haha.

We're driving three hours tonight to our hotel in Waco, TX. I'm going to be at the dealership at 7am tomorrow. We're crossing our fingers that they can fix our A/C tomorrow before our show in Dallas. I really hope it happens. It would make our lives much more pleasant.

Well, that's about all I have for tonight.

Tuscon, AZ (Club Congress)

We're in Tucson for our first time ever tonight. The venue is called Club Congress. It's a really cool place. It's connected to a hotel. I believe we're in a very historic area.

Tonight's show is a bit small, but the sound is great, and things are going smoothly. Nightmare Of You is on stage right now. The fun part about tonight is what we're doing after the show....

We have an all-night 13 hour drive to San Antonio, TX tonight. Yeah, not cool. We're going to leave the venue to night and drive straight to San Antonio. We'll still probably only get there a few hours before load-in. Luckily, this is the only overnight drive on this tour that we HAVE to do. (We'll probably drive overnight to St. Louis after the Tulsa show next week, but that's our choice.)

Oh, I forgot to add that I got the A/C checked out today, and they think the compressor is shot. That's going to cost us $1,000 minimum. We're going to have to wait until we get home from this tour to get that fixed.

The next two weeks are going to be pretty rough without A/C, but we'll live. Maybe it'll build character or something.

Besides all the complaining I just did, everything else is good! Haha. I'm happy to be making our way back east....

Tempe, AZ (The Clubhouse)

I'm currently at our show in Tempe, AZ. We're at a venue called The Clubhouse. We played here almost a year ago to the day on The Audition tour. I like this venue.

Tonight's show is pretty decent. Nothing too crazy, but there's a solid crowd and everything is going smoothly.

The drive from San Diego today was pretty intense! The A/C in our van is out, so we were pretty hot. We're trying to get it fixed in the morning. The next three or four days are supposed to be like 95+ degrees where we're going...

We're going to stay in town tonight with some of Corey's friends. We're off to Tucson tomorrow. We've never played there. New city = sweet!

San Diego, CA (DAY OFF)

We had the day off today and we spent it in San Diego. We woke up and went to the beach. It was only about three blocks from where we were staying! Perfect.

I threw on a wet suit and attempted to surf. I had surfed one time before (a few years ago), but I was a little rusty. I didn't do as well I had hoped, but it was still a lot of fun.

The rest of the day has been relaxing. Jared's brother, Jeremy, treated us to an amazing dinner tonight. It was at a Brazilian restaurant in downtown San Diego. The restaurant offered us 16 different types of meats...it was nuts. I tried some new things, which was cool.

We're back at Jeremy's place right now watching a movie. We're getting up pretty early and making the drive to Tempe, AZ. WE're playing at the Clubhouse tomorrow. It's a cool venue. I'm looking forward to going back there.

San Diego has been good to us. I'm excited to come back here in July!

*Thanks to Jeremy and his friends for all their hospitality. We really appreciate it guys!

San Diego, CA (Soma - Sidestage)

Last night's show was at Soma in San Diego. This venue is nice! We played here about a year ago. This show was decent. We had a few friends come out, so that was cool. We played the side room, which holds about 500 people. The main room must hold a few thousand. That's pretty crazy, considering the fact that the venue is in a strip of stores and it doesn't look half as big as it is from the outside.

We're coming back to this venue on the Secondhand Serenade tour. We're playing the side room again, but I have a feeling it'll be pretty packed.

After the show, we hung out at a friend's house. It was a good time.

Chain Reaction (Anaheim, CA)

Last night we were at the Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA. We played this place a year ago on The Audition tour.

The show last night was good! There were about two hundred people there. The guys played well and everything.

After the show, we made the drive to San Diego. We stayed at Jared's older brother's place. I'm at our show in San Diego right now. We're staying in town again tonight. We have an off day tomorrow, so we'll be here all day tomorrow and tomorrow night.

We're supposed to go surfing tomorrow! I haven't gone in a few years, but I'm stoked! We'll see how it goes..
