New York, NY (Blender Theatre @ Gramercy)

The tour ended last night at The Blender Theatre in New York City. The show turned out to be pretty big! Nightmare of You is from Long Island, so they definitely had a big draw.

The venue was really nice. Great lights and whatnot. We got to hang out with some people from the label. We also got to meet a few people from Girlie Action, a publicity firm that just jumped on board with us. I'm really excited about working with them. I think they're going to help us out a lot.


Overall, it was a good tour. Everyone was really cool and we all got along really well. We've been out for over nine weeks now, and we're all more than ready to get home for a few weeks. We've got one more show in NYC tonight. It's a 1 year birthday bash for our friends at Inklings.tv. It should be good!

After the show, we're driving straight home. It's going to be an intense drive, but we'll all be hyped up to get home, so it'll be alright.

OFF DAY (MO to PA)

We had an off day yesterday. We drove from MO to PA. We got a hotel in Harrisburg, PA. That's where I'm at right now.

Our show tonight is in North Caldwell, NJ (not too far from NYC). It should be pretty good!

St. Louis, MO (2 Cents Plain)

Wednesday's show was at 2 Cents Plain in downtown St. Louis. We'd never played this venue before. The show was pretty crowded. My family came down for it. We got to go to dinner and catch up on things. It was great to have some time with them. I had a lot of good friends come out to the show too.

The venue was really hot and the sound was sub-par, but the guys still put on a good show.

After the show, we went to a bar a few blocks away called Rue 13. The place was pretty cool! They had cheap drinks and they served sushi. Pretty cool.

I always love playing in St. Louis. We're not hitting it on the Secondhand Serenade tour, which is a bummer. Hopefully we'll be back soon though!

Tulsa, OK (Crush Lounge)

Sunday's show was at the Crush Lounge in Tulsa, OK. We played this venue on the Mayday Parade tour. The show was alright. Pretty small crowd. We actually packed up and left the show after the guys were finished playing. We headed out early because we were driving overnight to Alton, IL.

Oklahoma City, OK (The Conservatory)

The next day we were in Oklahoma City. The show was at a venue called The Conservatory. We played the Bricktown Ballroom in OKC on the Mayday Parade tour, but we'd never played this venue. It was pretty run down! You had to hold your breath if you walked in the bathroom. Not cool.

A buddy of mine happened to be in OKC for a conference, so he came out to the show. It was good catching up with him. He'd never seen the band play, so it was cool that he finally got to see them.

After the show, we stayed with some girls that we know. Nightmare of You stayed with us too. It was a good time! We all went swimming and hot-tubbing.

We're coming back to OKC on the Secondhand Serenade tour...

Dallas, TX (DAY OFF)

After the Austin show, we drove back to Dallas, TX. Well, the city was called Allen, TX to be exact. We stayed with some good friends. It was a great day. We cleaned the van, went swimming, had some great home-cooked meals, and caught up on some sleep.

Great day.

Austin, TX (Stubb's BBQ - Indoor stage)

Last night, we were at Stubb's BBQ in Austin. We'd never played this venue before. It's one of the real popular venues in Austin, so I'm glad we finally got to play there.

There was a good crowd and everyone sounded really good! We all got to eat a free meal at the venue. Man, it's was good!

After the show, we drove back to Ft. Worth and stayed with our buddy, Sean, again. We're at his place right now.

We have an off day today. We're going to stay with a friend in Dallas. Tomorrow's show is in Oklahoma City, so we'll drive there in the morning.

I'm pretty stoked for this off day. We're going to clean out the van and go swimming. Should be productive.
