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

LiveJournal Update - 05/02/2008
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!

Life.

melancholy.
we are in springfield, missouri. just left bass pro shop/outdoor world. today is one of those days, where i feel like if i were at home, in franklin… i’d just want to lay around all day like a sloth. watch a few movies, maybe grab starbucks down the street and bring it back home. maybe cook something??? okay, yeah… probably not. it’s just one of those days. instead, however, i’m sitting around on the bus. talledega nights is on the television in the front lounge and i’m in the back lounge listening to it and watching people walk on and off the bus. is this an exciting story or what?
we don’t play missouri too often. i’m excited to see how the show goes. the venue is really nice… big, as most of them have been, recently. it’s definitely weird playing these half-arenas. (”i never realized how easy it was to half an arena with a machete…” sorry. just a quick ‘Walk Hard’ reference). lately, i’ve really missed those 300-400 cap rooms. heck, even smaller than that. pontiac grille, anyone? or what about the new brooklyn tavern? i think about those shows every night when we’re playing. especially when asking how many people in the crowd have never seen us before. some of these kids are seeing us play for the first time in these huge halved arenas. how crazy is that? it’s not sad… really, although some people might think so. it’s actually pretty ridiculous, haha. they must think we are big time, or something. all this is to say, i can’t really believe where we are right now. it’s weird that i almost forgot where it started. that’s why we had to go home for a whole month and just get away from the hype. we can’t forget where it started… you know? when we do, it’s just pointless.
every band i’ve ever loved, i always saw in really small clubs. other than when i saw coldplay in ‘03 at the reiman auditorium. i don’t know really what it’s like to one day be one person out of 10 at a show and then next thing you know, be wrestling kids to get to the front in some half arena. the closest thing i know to that is seeing coheed in ‘03 at the Muse, then Rocketown in ‘04 (with AFI and Thursday!!!) and then seeing them the past couple years at the warped tour… playing to huge crowds. but at that point, our band had tour passes so i really didn’t have to work that hard to see their set. i really don’t know what it’s like to follow a band the way some of you have followed us and worked hard to stay connected with us as we’ve tried to stay connected with you. so, thank you guys… for sticking with us. hangin in the long ass lines. everything. it’s awesome. and if you are just now getting into all of this, welcome and thank you too, for all the support and enthusiasm you’ve shown.
this was almost a pointless post… but i feel really good about it.
these kind of days are really good, sometimes 
ps. dear and the headlights are amazing.

… 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!
