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.
please add: http://www.myspace.com/longway tellm mc sent u and score me more shrimps!
