“BIG NEWS!” - by hayley - 8/22/2008
BIG news…we are performing at the VMAs!! I can’t believe it! When I was a kid, I begged my mother to let me stay up and watch the VMA’s beginning to end. Once Britney took off her outfit and was creepin’ around in that see-through thing, I thought to myself, “well, hell, that’s the last I’ll see of MTV”. Now here we are, performers ourselves. Its such a huge honor and we really can’t wait!

Hey guys,
We just posted a hilarious new video on the homepage from Zac and Brandon…we can’t disclose the contents of the video. All we can say is that it involves Easy Cheese…and lots of it.

“disclaimer: i’m not depressed. i’m actually severely happy.” - by hayley - 8/18/2008
but… i was just thinkin about life. i was thinkin a little about “fame” and “celebrity” (what a great nsync record). this is not about to be some crazy profound thing. you’re not going to get smarter nor will i look much smarter to you after reading this post… i’m just saying, i was thinkin… and i wanted to write about it.
the past year and a half has not been easy or hard. honestly, i can’t remember much of it because it went by too fast for me to understand what was actually going on. it still surprises me when i hear one of our songs on the radio or see a picture of us in a magazine. i still don’t get why the hell someone would care to have one of our signatures on something of theirs haha. on a daily basis, we are asked, if not by a journalist then by a fan, what it feels like to be famous and yet i still draw a blank every time. because, to me, we are just the same. the only true difference between the life we lived before riot and the life we live now is that every little thing. every. insignificant. thing. that we do is cared for in some way. whether it be concern, obsession, hate, a genuine interest or delight… everyone has their opinion and we hear them all at some point. i really don’t mind listening. yes, it can get old. it can be humorous or enraging or just plain sad… nothing changes the fact that there’s always someone out there coming up with new theories about us, new ideas so that they can get a grip or put a handle on who we are. i might sound bitter but actually i’m just a little bit fascinated. i still haven’t really figured out what it means to be known of but not understood in any way shape or form. i could fill a hundred pages of lyrics, poetry, broken thoughts and still never be understood even the slightest. it’s a good thing. i just don’t get it yet.
life has never been so exciting and so wonder-full. the greatest part is not understanding it. not being able to tell what’s next. everyone wants what they can’t have but when i look back on days i thought i wanted something completely different than all of this - i can see how stupid that was. how selfish i was to ever try putting myself in someone else’s story. (neverending stooryyyyy!!! … sorry).
to sum up these scattered thoughts i would like to say this: when we think we know people inside out and we think we know what’s best for them we should try to remember we don’t even know what’s best for ourselves.
love,
hayley
“Photo of the Week Round 6!” - by ParaWebCrew - 8/15/2008
Hey Everyone!
This week’s photo comes from Timothy in Locust Fork, Alabama. He snapped a great picture of the band humbly taking a bow after their Final Riot! show in Memphis. What a great moment, one that reminds us how great this tour has been, and will continue to be…because of YOU, the lovely Paramore fans.

Have a great weekend!

“WIN A DATE WITH ME/FBR NEWSLETTER!” - by hayley - 8/14/2008
apparently, there’s a radio station in rhode island offering callers a chance to win a date with me. WHOA!? i mean, they could be talking about tickets to the show; trying to play it up to be funny. not so funny if people believe it, though.
just wanted to clear everything up… let you guys know… no one will be winning a date with anybody in our band. but it is pretty funny to think that somewhere in rhode island some kid has the station on speed dial thinking it’s true. alright, maybe not!
this tour is a blast. we are headed to NYC for a day off tomorrow before going to z100 the next morning to do some acoustic performance. should be a good time. i am loving acoustic performances more and more. i wish we had more to do! i dunno what we’re gonna do with ourselves having a whole day off in the city. i love new york. maybe i’ll make a trash and vaudeville visit. (like i need more clothes… NOPE!!!) think i’m gonna hang with mr. john janick… the dude that makes it all happen. it’s been a while since we’ve hung with him and he’s always a lot of fun to talk to about music with. plus, we all share a love for pinkberry. YES!
after NYC it’s on to philly. one of our favorite cities to play. nothing like south street. i wonder if we’re playing there this time? i don’t think so for some reason… but i hardly ever look at our schedule i just get on the bus and go with everyone.
today was my baby sis’ first day of school. is summer seriously over?! my mom just told me that i used to beg her to pack salads for me in kindergarten for lunch hahah i don’t remember that. what kind of little kid wants salads for lunch? what happened to lunchables? anyone here remember lunchables? haha the pizza kind were ridiculous. but by the time i hit middle school i was a cafeteria food eatin’ kid. i would always forget to bring lunch money and have to have them put it on my school credit. so, i owed like 50 bucks by the end of each month haha. what a loser, hayley. speaking of all of this, my yearbook photo comes out tomorrow. joy.
hahah
love

“every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.” - by hayley - 8/13/2008
CHI-TOWN! CHI-TOWN!
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the show tonight. This was the best show of the tour so far.
As you might have heard - or maybe you didnt? - we filmed the show tonight for a DVD that we hope to release later this year. We had original plans to shoot the show in Central Park next week but due to complications with our production set up and the venue, we had to change locations. I have to say, at first we were a little disappointed cause we were counting on NYC but now that we’ve filmed the show and played Chicago we are MORE than stoked that tonight was the night.
I realized before we came out for encore that it was here that we played our first ever headlining show, in 2006. So, it’s even more special that we had to switch to tonight to film. Just feels right.
I gotta run cause we’re about to leave and I wanna go hang with some people from the show. They’ve been hangin outside for a while now. Just to let you guys know we got our PARAMORE RIOT BOOKS in tonight. They pretty much serve the same purpose as a year book. TONS AND TONS of pics and lyric sheets, production notes from The Final Riot Tour. And member bios. Ryan Russell did all the photos for the book… we know how much we all love that dude. So check em out at the merch booth, we think you’ll be stoked on em.
GOTTA RUN!

“TWO SURF BOARDS! (should’ve made this post earlier, sorry!)” - by Paramore - 8/12/2008
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR WINNING US TWO TEEN CHOICE AWARDS!
Best Rock Track with “crushcrushcrush” and Best Rock Group!these are the first awards we’ve ever won as a band and we’re stoked about it.
we just got back on the bus and we’re headed for the V-Fest. playing with Nine Inch Nails… woohooo!!!
i’m really gonna have to get some sleep since we’re playing so much earlier in the day than usual (around 2pm, i think??). but really, we all just wanted to drop by and tell you guys how much we appreciate the ridiculous support. on top of the teen choice craziness, we’ve been getting all kind of updates on our video stats on the VMA voting site. thank you guys for all of it. awards really have nothing to do with why our band is a band but being supported to this extent is indescribable. we will see you guys on tour!!!love,
ALL OF US!
“The Final Riot! Tour Community” - by fueledbyadam - 8/8/2008

“Photo Of The Week Round 5!” - by ParaWebCrew - 8//2008
This one comes from Isel in Tijuana, who must have had a blast being that close to the band on the FInal Riot! Tour in San Diego. Isel caught a great shot of Hayley with a finger in the air, as the lights of the Final Riot! blazed behind her. Nice work Isel!
As usual, we are loving your photo submissions, so keep them coming via the Submit a Photo page.
See you on tour!

“just like huck finn.” - by hayley - 8/5/2008
yesterday, we floated down the buffalo river… in canoes. it was a 6 mile journey of which we tackled with such a tenacity we might’ve been mistaken for a gang of modern day pirates. who knows?! i only had enough battery to take and send one picture of the little picnic we had on a river bank… you can check it out on our mobile stream at paramore.net!
needless to say, our couple of off days have been nice. josh and zac traveled home and the rest of us just did what we do best… hang out and be pirates. i got a call around 7am (which is not a good hour for me) from josh saying that all the flights were cancelled and he didn’t know what they were going to do about getting to arkansas. lucky for all of us, our friend brandon - who’s filming for a little DVD we’re putting out later this year - is heading this way and he hadn’t left yet… so josh and zac are taking the road trip with him and will make it in time. hopefully, they’ll be here before meet and greet!
little rock is a really nice place. we haven’t spent much time here as a band. most of you will know, this is jeremy’s hometown. he knows it like the back of his hand; he’s got stories to tell for every corner of just about every street. it’s really cool seeing a bit of his stomping grounds. hopefully, we’ll have time outside of press today to walk around and enjoy some of the city. there are all kind of funky shops… places i could get into some trouble at if i don’t keep a close guard on my per diem!
leave you with this classy little number of myself thru a fisheye lens.
“hi again.” - by hayley - 8/3/2008
mesa, arizona is scorching hot!!! my pale-ness is in a state of shock. SPF 1000 alert!!! haha
i finally finished new moon today (2nd in the twilight saga). i have been struggling through it due to the on-off-ness of our touring state the past few months. i missed the breaking dawn party last night at borders… probably a good thing because i would’ve been so excited the temptation to skip right over eclipse and tear into breaking dawn would’ve overcome me and then what kind of mess would i be in?? so anyways, now i’m a chapter into the 3rd book and the 4th will be waiting on me when i get home. (i reserved a copy - YES!) i’m stoked for the twilight movie. i think it’s gonna be really good. i’m definitely going to dress up as a vampire to go see it. wanna fight about it?
tomorrow is a drive day and we’ll be headed somewhere between here and little rock to stay the night, before we have another day off in little rock. jeremy’s taking us canoeing or something which i’m way too excited for. he’s been trying to take us on that trip since 2004 when we started playing shows outside TN. we’ll make sure to take some good pics of that for you guys. it’s about time we update our myspace photo section anyways.
our first band BBQ is happening today at the fan club M&G. we are stoked. it’s about time we organized these types of things. it makes it more fun for us and more personal for you guys, i think. i couldn’t stand the tables or the lines… that’s for a festival setting. for our own shows we’d like to think it’s possible that we can always talk to you guys and have real connection on and off the stage. i know times change but… we’ll keep resisting haha.
anyone out there hailing from manila, philippines? NFG is playing a festival or something there tonight with a whole bunch of other bands. if anyone is going… ransack the stage and give chad a big ol’ bear hug for me. okay don’t really do that… it’s possible you could get into trouble, it’s a pretty big festival. um let’s see, there has to be another option. maybe a sign? “hayley says ‘hi”??? umm… well, whatever, if you’re going just have a great time! they’re gonna be so awesome!!!
alright i’m out haha. that movie shooter just came on. marky mark wahlberg is tearin it up!

“i thought stepbrothers ruled, personally.” - by hayley - 8/2/2008
hello loves,
5 days into the tour, 3 shows - 4th tonight in San Diego. i’m so stoked to be here. i spent yesterday in Los Angeles hangin with some friends. went to Amoeba Music! grabbed In and Out and saw Stepbrothers. what a great day off. (i guess i’m only capitalizing proper nouns, here).
so, the reason i’m posting today is actually to let you guys know that we are running a contest with Sweet Leaf tea. mmm so yummy! together, we are flying two winners out to our show at Central Park in NYC!!! keep looking out for details… either here or at www.sweetleaftea.com!
i have to go soundcheck, sorry this is so short - i’ll be posting more regularly once we really get into the tour. thanks so much to everyone who’s already come out to a show or has already bought tickets to an upcoming show. we’re having a blast so far and it’s only gonna get better.
okay, really gotta run! laterrr
