wow. i meant to post this a while ago… it was just restored from a saved draft. i think i actually fell asleep writing this haha i’ll keep it here anyways.[saved from stored draft]:
i love mewithoutYou.we made it to London around noon today. it’s about 2am now. i’ve gotta get some sleep soon!
i just thought i’d post a quick little update before i finally went to bed. tomorrow is a big day. GIAN is a huge deal to us. in ‘06, we played a side stage, very early in the day. here we are in 2008 headlining the whole thing. it’s crazy. thank you…. (and this is where it ended hahaha)so, it’s been 2 weeks since the last update. life rules. hope you guys are doing so great… we came home from the Jimmy tour and had two days off in Nashville before we went out to the UK for GIAN. such great shows. somehow i think our show review got mixed up with another bands in the last issue of Kerrang. i think our review was actually mixed up with Mindless Self Indulgence. unless i was unconscious when i began to pry hands off my sweaty breasts. hahahaaa what is it with Kerrang and my boobs? leave em alone geez. apparently, i also stage dove during our set. badical. i wish, anyway. besides all the insanity with press - which we heard was an honest mistake, although i doubt it and i haven’t even read it to really decide for myself - the shows were incredible.
i have to go ahead and say it now… in the history of our band, the best crowd and overall best show, hands down, was in Glasgow, Scotland - i’m really sorry i might have forgotte the date - was it may 12th? thank you to everyone who came out to the show. the line was insane. wrapped around the building and so far down the street. haha. we love Scotland. also, thanks to those of you who stuck around til after the guys and i all got showers and packed to go home… you guys were so much fun to hang out with. for those of you who weren’t there, i will try to paint the picture for you. i walked out the bus to pack my stuff and told everyone that as soon as we were all ready we were going to come sign and hang out by the bus, so EVERYONE stuck around. seriously, like 400 kids hahah. the cops came and told everyone to leave and by the time we got out there only 30 or so kids had been allowed to stay. we had to whisper the entire time we signed and took pics. but it was so much fun haha so yeah… thank you guys.
so, i’m talkin to my friend “Mono-Dog” on ichat. he’s a fan of the band. apparently, my screen name was posted somewhere. oh well hahah. he plays a fender strat. he loves horror movies but his favorite new movie is juno. besides those fun little facts it’s awesome having a conversation with a fan. we both love stephen king’s Pet Cemetery. it reminds me of playing small clubs having REAL conversations with fans. with people. the guys and i are hoping to bring back some of those types of moments. especially within the fan club. it all takes time working out because now that the band is more successful any little thing can become “an issue”, which is weird haha. but we are working hard and really trying to keep you guys in the loop and make it feel even more of a community.
if you are in LA… go to Amoeba tonight, Eli “Paperboy” Reed is playin! i was gonna go but i can’t make it now. anyway, he’s great. different and the show will probably be a lot of fun.
i’m outta here

New LiveJournal Post:
HELLOOOOO!
i’m going to be so late for check out… i already know this.
but it doesn’t matter, cause i really feel like posting!was anyone from the community at the Samsung event at The Meridian in Houston? we had so much fun. initially, i wasn’t too stoked about waking up at 5am and flying to Houston only to have to wake up the next morning at 5am to make it back to Lowell, Mass but it turned out being one of my highlights from this whole tour, tbqh (look at me using LJ language…weee). we hadn’t played a club like in about a year. in fact, we played The Meridian on the first tour of ‘07 to promote RIOT! i had a blast on that tour. i was beginning to forget what it felt like… which sucked a little bit. anyway, we had a blast the other night and we wanted to thank everyone who came out and made it a party. hopefully, there will be more shows like that in the future, whether they are sponsored events or not.
so, the tour is coming to a close. i can’t believe we’ve been on the road with Jimmy for a month now. they are wonderful people… hilarious. not to mention, we had great times throwing fruit out backstage windows at people. insane. plus, Dear and the Headlights are some of the most talented and down to earth people i think we’ve ever shared a stage with. look out for them coming your way in the future… if you haven’t seen them on this tour you will want to see them sometime soon!!!
i have to go i’m going to be really late. have a good day. talk soon!

Sea of Treachery’s cover of “Misery Business” IS better than the original version. Faces will be melted. Floors will be punched. Change will be picked up. Limbs dismembered.
but really, this is just a note to the dudes in the band:
Thanks, guys, for taking the time to cover a Paramore song. For whatever reason you did, I’m siked. (edit: it’s just easier to spell it this way haha) to hear it covered by a band in a totally different scene. It rules. The gang vocals at the end of the bridge is an amazing addition. I must admit, I was expecting a change up in the guitar solo but sticking with the original is fine by me. Good luck on the road and with the release of the new record.
Everyone: Sea of Treachery’s ‘At Dagger’s Drawn’ comes out April 29th. Do it, to it.
love,
h-bomb

lil wayne, ya’ll
… we haven’t shot a live dvd yet. has nothing to do with the city haha we sucked that night. messed up too much. wow, can’t win. and that spelling error was ace as well, huh? sometimes, it happens.
tomorrow is a day off! we’re stoked to be playing another show in Idaho in a couple of days, as we don’t go through there that often. last time we were there was on Warped. the crowd was pretty awesome that day. man, i miss Warped tour. this summer will be strange not being on the whole thing. one week of Warped just isn’t enough. not sure why i’ve been thinking about that so much lately, but i have.
the guys are in the front making videos of themselves dancing to that “lick me like a lollipop” song hahaha. they have carroll - our monitor guy (who rules) - doing all sorts of dances. which i’m sure looks AMAZING. and i’m just chillin’ in my bunk… today took a lot out of me, for some reason. we didn’t hardly do anything but play the show but i’m beat. oh man, now it’s “smack that”. i’m gonna wait to watch the videos, i don’t want to ruin it for myself. who knows maybe the guys will decide to post those?
well this has been a really informative livejournal post. haha. hope you guys are doin’ well.
if we haven’t seen you at a show yet, we’ll see you soon!

well hello…
sorry it’s been a minute since we’ve updated. we’re a week into the Jimmy Eat World tour and so far, it’s been one of the most enjoyable and relaxing US tours we’ve been on. the shows have been beyond ridiculous… i can’t believe some of the rooms we’re playing. not to mention, sharing the stage with JEW and Dear and the Headlights is so much fun. we owe it to you guys. this is a tour we’ve dreamt about since we started playing shows; before we were even Paramore. so, thank you for getting us here.
i needed to post this story back in March, but i kept putting it off and forgetting… i got a package in the mail the other day from Tooth and Nail Records. i knew i hadn’t ordered anything from them, so it was a little weird. i opened the package to find a mewithoutYou vinyl, with a demo of Nice and Blue pt. 2 on it. so, obviously i was stoked… but i still didn’t really understand. then i noticed all over both sides of the sleeve were hand written messages from Mike and Aaron Weiss (guitar player and singer, respectively). now, they are one of my favorite bands… so i freaked out a little. i’ve met them a couple times and had great conversation but this was just on a whole different level. Aaron’s message to me was revolving around the difficult time our band was having out on the road and the short break we were taking. without going into too much detail cause i believe it to be a little personal, he talked about the fact that it is a beautiful thing to struggle as a Christian. to be purified like gold in a fire. i know most of you don’t share the same faith as us, but i still wanted to share that story. because maybe you can find your own meaning in it. Aaron also said that he’d been told about our situation through a friend named Monika, someone who i’m pretty sure is an active member on the LJ community. when i opened the sleeve, i found a letter from Monika… and when i read it i wanted to cry. She had ordered the vinyl for herself and when she heard about what was going on with the band she sent it to me to lift my spirits. even though she really wanted to hear the demo and she loves mwY…. probably even more than I do haha. i was extremely humbled by that. i still haven’t thanked you personally, Monika, but that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.
our fans rule. it’s not even about the shows or how loud you guys can scream from the crowd. it’s a connection. one that i don’t see too often with bands in our scene. here’s to the dream tour.
i must find a t-mobile store. my scenekick is jacked up. see you tonight!
