the new bus had a cold in it. so i got the sniffles then the sneezes then it was straight up stuffed. tuesday the bus pulled out of the girl zone and we could finally get back to business. we barely got merch. but we do have booty shorts. i thought i lost my laundry yesterday and freaked cuz i was sockless. socks are gold. but i just went to the vans tent and asked for socks and ended up getting new shoes and a few shirts. i dont know what their sweat shop status is. i’ll worry about it after i get some new new balance.

the vans guys that had worked the tent knew me from my set, i feel like almost all merch hands have seen it. everyone nods at me and is cool. i feel like i won over this place. the bbq band (longway out of the oc) has been like brothers to me. they cook every night and i’ve gotten into the habit of coming and saying hi right before everyone shows up. i usually score free food. last night i scored five shrimps! i chomped them down after exploring the river down the hill. the sun had set so you could just see the mountain range’s silhouette. the smell of the cooker and the guys chills me out. they brought me on stage during their set and a huge crowd appeared. it was awesome symbiosis.

lots of folks watch the band before me to get a good spot. my fav part of tour is watching the band before me end and then spot the mc chris fans in the audience that then move like matrix agents towards the barriers in front of the stage. its awesome. there are lots of things to hate on, the drama, the bad vibes, the corporate mandate, the death of pop punk. but im still pretty happy. i know it will be over soon.

yesterday i watched big trouble little china and yes the matrix, up in the front lounge. it’s really a nice life. and i feel kinda spoiled and undeserving. so i’ll just keep putting on my show to the best of my abilities. you all seem to like it.

oh and toys are ready. i dunno how i’m gonna sell them. but stay tuned. and i’ll reveal what merch i’ll have at reggie. it’ll be a small amount and hopefully different in some way.

i’ve been listening to gil mantera’s party dream, the album on itunes, non stop. i can’t stop listening to emotion road. it’s one of those songs that get u through everything. i liked it so much i asked gil and co to join me on fall tour, we’ll see. i really hope they can do it. because they are one of the best acts at warped. i wonder if adult swim knows about them because they were made for each other. null sleep wrote and said he was going to graduate school. freeze pop already has dates. the summer is ending, i’m running out of time and my ice cream is melting.

im in my final bus, it’s the beginning of the end of my time here with warped. this bus used to be occupied by lordz of brooklyn, but not everyone survived the summer. everything is stained wood, or some kind of dark brown marble pattern. and there is stained glass and it’s covered in a big jack in box wrap so u can barely see outside of it. it feels like a roving old timey library. except no books. there’s internet and flat screen, direct tv and spacious bunks. free jack in the box if the crew so desires (and they dont.) and the best part no drinkers, only smokers.

thanks to st. alvia cartel for letting me stay for a week. canadians have been the best part of this summer. and i bombed in canada. i hope i really do get to tour with protest. i havent seen them in a few days. the bus douches now have taken to hanging out at their trailer and talking shit. and my blog and i guess broadway calls blogs have become national news because we’re the source of the warped beef this year.

um… no we’re not. we’re here to work. our bus was a piece of shit and we got punished for it. tour hasnt been the same since bway calls and i got split up. we’re on our new buses now. happy to be able to sleep and work, but sad that we can’t finish the gambler part 2 or play call of duty together. support broadway calls. i’m gonna add them to my top. u should too and leave them a comment too, to keep their spirits up. they’re are getting shit from all directions and don’t deserve one iota. go love them! myspace.com/broadwaycalls

gates open in five minutes and then the cattlecade of kids will come a sauntering in. at first i didn’t mind the sun and the kids, all the bikini tops and short shorts. now i try to enter the venue only for my set and signing. i don’t put on sunblock anymore. i dont ride the mongoose in the morning. this summer i fear has weathered me some. i see it on the pics taken of me.

because of the whole girl crushin on roadie thing i was feeling kinding of like yesterday’s news, old unattractive and rejected. and believe it or not pax was on my mind daily. i hate letting my fans down. so i was just feeling low. so was everyone else. there was a general malaise that had washed over the whole tour. rain had been following us for over a week now and it had taken its saturated toll.

i tried staying in contact with katie, texting, trying to enjoy it, but like she said it was bitter sweet. then i met jj who was sidestage during one of my sets. and she said she was gonna be at the bbq. i went to the bbq that night she was a no show but she wrote a note saying she was sorry and she didnt mean to stand me up. stand me up implies date so i’m happily let down this round.

then she miraculously shows up the next day side stage watching my set. she’s really cute, kinda looks like emmy rossum. big eyes that would fill with tears soon enough. i saw her in the lunch line. and then luckily that night at the bbq i found her a third time. and then her friend ditched her. and i got her between the trucks and stole a much needed kiss. i needed to feel, i dunno, worth smooches. there was a smooch deficit and the market needed much revitalizing.

she actually it turned out drove a long way twice to see me, just me. she worked at mcdonalds and was in the marine corps and i was instantly fascinated, because katie was kinda perfect and maybe that’s what my ocd side longs for, but jj was kinda broken, abused even, and i think that might go for me too. we both talked about offing ourselves and for the first time i felt like i was actually really doing something to fix things, fix me. by maybe helping her id be helping myself, talking about how i really feel. i was saying things id never said to anyone.

soldier suicide rates are high in case you didn’t know. there was a defeated air to jj, like maybe she had given up. she hadnt gone overseas but you could tell she’d already been through something here, in training. shudder to think. we walked by reel big fish playing an almost 3 hr after hours set fueled by requests, booze and who know what else, then was a drum off i think in front of the web lab. everything was kinda boring so i walked her back to her car.

we kept walking and walking further into complete blackness. up a hill into nothing. i was beginning to curse the incline as it seemed to never end but we soon found the car by randomly aiming her car keys into the void. finally we saw some lights blinking against a telephone pole and found it in the middle of an empty field. no lights no people, 2.5 sexins.

she drove me down to my bus and we waited for the bus driver he was almost an hour late. as we kissed goodbye he shouted take ur time! im brewing a pot of coffee! so we did but it was still said to say goodbye. she drove for hours home to south jersey. slept one hour and then did her shift at mcdonalds. i left my warped vip pass in her car. so she drove again the next day, right after her shift and brought my pass and then we did it in my bunk which was totally impossible, kinda rude to my hosts, but also maybe the hottest thing ever. she’s physical like me and i don’t just mean doing it. constantly touching and holding hands or each other. i didn’t realize i needed it but i did. every time she kissed my fingers i realized, i need that to happen. i had no idea. she gave me a kiss every time i made her laugh and she hugged me extra tight when i said i was an atheist. she only lives a few hrs from brooklyn. and last night i downloaded jersey girl off of itunes.

our goodbye last night was straight out of casablanca. in between the buses, all of them starting their engines. we just kind of hugged and danced and her head was against my neck and i just kinda hummed stuff. including jersey girl. her mascara starting get on her cheeks and then on mine. kevin lyman walked by and asked if everything was square. i said thanks so much. jonny had gotten all of our stuff on the new bus.

jj and i had one last cuddle session in my bunk. we’re gonna get to see each other on the reggie tour i think. and then i come home mid september and take her out on a date. i didn’t think i’d have anything to look forward to this fall except screening honey i shrunk the kids in texas.

we said good bye and broke apart and then i grabbed her purse and pulled her back and she shook in my arms and cried and i dunno. it made me happy. like maybe id found someone. someone close to home. in lots of ways.
