its been 6 days since my last post.
its 4.11am and i am sat in a hotel in detroit, doing my laundry before we fly home and do our run in the uk.
since the 12th we did some amazing shows in chicago and milwaukee to name 2. the tour has been a real success and all the bands have been amazing to hang with. recently we started a valencia day where a member of valencia comes and stays with us at the hotel.
it started with shane, and then max. max came over after chicago and george ended up getting shitty drunk and somehow ended up back at our hotel. he came with 2 girls..he got in the taxi...the girls told him to jump the cab..and he couldn't so he told the cabbie the girls tricked him and instead of paying $100 for the ride. he pay $5. george is the man!!!
we then had a day off after milwaukee, brendan stayed with us and we headed to chicago for our day off. we hung with our friend jack, who scored me 50% off at paul frank (score!). i then left my shirts in his car (no score!).
i am now in a hotel waiting for my laundry and i spoke to my friend brandon on aol. he's one of the best dudes i have ever met and his band are amazing. go and listen to them if you read this. they are called i am the avalanche and they deserve alot of success.
i am flying home for a uk tour in like 2 days, its been the best tour over here, hopefully the uk will love hit the lights as much as the us does.

dream update.
in my dream last night, I dreamt that for some reason someone was trying to set up a young black guy and so they planted a load of evidence on him and then killed his family, even his grandmother, but she was still alive when the police found her.
i then woke up and realized how fucked up this dream was, so I hung out in the back of the van for awhile before falling asleep and having another dream.
in this dream I dreamt that myself, and the hit the lights guys were robbing a bank. We had it all down to perfection, we went in through the vents, took out all the security cameras and tied people up, then we had a van pull inside the bank and load up and then leave before anyone realized what was happening. But for some reason we stayed before, then I realized that we were trying to find more money, so we went down a vent and found a safe but we couldn’t open it, so we called it off and got the van to come back.
in the time the van was away, the head of another police department in the area had recently had his house broken into, and had a security system put in. for some reason it was the same system as the bank, so he randomly caught what we were doing on camera….when the van pulled up we got caught by the police..then I woke up.
I passed out again, but instead of being in court, someone else was getting blamed. They were 5 soccer players, david Connolly, graham kavangh, phil babb and some others. I was sat next to roy keane, the sunderland manager and he was talking to me about buying a horse to get some money back so we could take over the club as niall quinn, the sunderland chairman was being charged too. At the end of the hearing, they played a weird song and everyone sang…then I woke up.
i am fucked up in the head.

so i tried to document as best i could the 12 hour drive that happened last night...truthfully...i passed out after about an hour. i ate alot of crappy chips and a snack pack and hit the sack hard in the back of the van with nicholas. the drive wasn't too bad as i ended up sleeping for most of the ride. i woke up a few times as i always think i am about to fall out of the door. but it ended up being ok.

since the last blog we have been in hollywood and san francisco.
i hate busy cities, so hollywood was a nightmare haha. i bought an ipod case and new shirt though, thats pretty exciting right? i also tried to cross a street when a bum asked me for change...i said i didn't have any and he stepped out into the street..i had to pull him back, he was an idiot! after that i ate mcdonald's for the first time on this tour...it sucked.
san fran was a good time. it was all time low's last night on this tour so it was a feel good show. i had a beer or 2 and got pretty crazy when we went to eat in and out burger...thats when it happened....alex all time low....punched valencia's tech's sandwich...but he didn't know the sandwich punch rules...it was fucking amazing...scott looked so pissed off. i loved it. i loved it. i loved it.
we then went back to the hotel where i passed the fuck out and now here i am, writing in my blog.

we are in anaheim. the weather is super nice.
yesterday, we had a day off and went to san diego zoo. its the fucking best zoo in the world but they didn't have penguins...even the shittiest zoo's have penguins. that was the bad point of the zoo.
we then watched the championship basketball game between ohio state and florida...colin is a huge ohio state..and they got beat..it was a shitty time, we ate wings and pizza and watched the game..i felt bad for colin because he was so bummed.
we then drove to the hotel and i got high as shit. i realised all my dreams involve the place i am staying that night....it sucks!!!
