It's time to work on the show.

The End Of The Road...But First!
So today is our last day of shows with Dave Matthews. We're driving to Cuyahoga Falls, OH right now. It's raining out and I just realized that this is the first rain we've seen in 2 weeks. Apparently back in NYC we had a huge storm the other day. I am sad to have missed that. I live on a hill and love to go outside during the rain to see the river that goes down my street. Now with my new Puma Crocs I can walk in the puddles.
Dave had wanted to hang out with us tonight since it was our last night. Let's see what happens. Tomorrow is my birthday and we drive home. It's amazing that in the past 12 years that I've been touring this will be the 6th birthday that I've spent on the road. Most of the time it's me driving alone so this will be nice to be with other people. I wonder what gifts they have bought me.

Almost Famous
We're on tour, in the tour bus driving to Columbus, OH, watching Almost Famous, a movie about being on tour and driving a tour bus. Pretty good stuff.
Only 2 more shows left. I'm going to try and sit one of these shows and watch the whole Dave Matthews concert. The thing is that after a full day, once Ingrid is done, I feel relieved and it's finally my chance to relax. So I sit on the bus and relax and miss the whole Dave show. Also Dave plays for 3 hours. I've never watched a band that long. I did watch his play Crash the first night. Then that "pretty baby" song also.
We have two days off now. I want to walk around the town. I want to see Step Brothers. I want to write material for the show.
Oh that's right. This blog is about the show! The show which debuts August 7th!!! 10 days!!
Can't wait.

Good Times!
What a great time we're having on the road. DMB had a party at their hotel last night and it was pretty bad. It was really boring and everyone was just standing around. Not the rock and roll party you'd imagine. The one person we hung out with all night was Dave, who is one of the funniest guys around. He'd be the guy I'd most want to hang out with even if he was the tour janitor.
I'm sitting on the bus watching the Elite XC fights. This is the good life right now.

Fuck
Today was a day off and re-named Dark Knight Thursday. One of the most amazing unbelievable events I've ever seen.
During the film I tried to take a picture. I didn't want to hold my phone up so I just held it in my lap and took it. This first picture had the flash go off. But the picture is fucking freaky.
I took a second one in my lap also. Check them out above!

Bus Life
So I realized I haven't written anything yet, I've only sent pics. Allow me to do a quick recap.
We flew in Friday and all seemed good. I was very nervous since I hardly ever fly. These guys fly all the time and they knew what to do. I didn;t know where to go or what to do. Luckily it made me forget I was afraid to fly. The flight was smooth and I was good. I can't even remember what I did that night. Oh shit, did I already post about that night? Fuck I totally did. Download the new Ne-Yo. I posted it there.
Saturday we went to the festival and I had really had no interest. I hate festivals. They are crowded and hot. Unlike any other festival I've played this one was so well put together. We had people picking us up in golf carts and driving around the festival. Free massages, jumbo shrimp, shirts, hot wings..etc. I wasn't excited to watch any of the bands but then I saw that Lupe was playing and was way too excited. He was fucking DOPE!
FUCK!KK
im so tired.
i cant remember anything.
i have to sleep.
THE SHOW IS STARTING IN 2 WEEKS!!!
GHAGGGG

Mile High
So we flew into Denver and all was good. We're at the DoubleTree which is famous for having free warm cookies anytime you want.
I think it's amazing that I can take a picture on my phone and instantly post them. I will be taking a bunch and blogging them as quick as I can.
Tomorrow is the first day of the Mile High Festival. The band is pretty excited about it but I felt like my dad while looking at the lineup. I didn't recognize any of the bands. Sure there is Tom Petty, John Mayer, Black Crowes and Dave Matthews but I have no interest in any of them. The only person I'd really like to see is Lupe. Also, the Roots are playing. But I've been to enough festivals to know that I don't want to be there to watch anyone. I'd rather be home to watch the UFC Fight Night but the hotel doesn't have Spike. What kind of of BS is this!?
I really want to go see Batman. I think we're going to go sometime during the week.
Ok...I'm nervous cause I feel like I should be working on something that I'm not.
Oh, not surprising but I just heard the new Ne-Yo single and I'm in love!
Go download it:

Flying
I'm in the plane. I'm kinda freaking out but pretending real good.
If I die don't judge my apartment by how messy it is. I was very busy.

Touring!
I'm leaving for tour today with Ingrid Michaelson as we open up for the Dave Matthews Band.
I will be updating this blog everyday to let you know how many times I've fucked up.

So I haven't posted in a long time but not because I'm lazy but because I've been kinda annoyed with the show. I've also been busy with the tour that I'm leaving on in 2 weeks.
The show was supposed to debut on June 3rd. When we learned that Casey was going away on tour for 3 weeks we decided to wait till he got back. Then June 26th was the new start date. As the date was approaching we still didn't have much prepared so we then moved it back to July 3rd so I would have the week off of school. The Lou got married and took a job in New Mexico and was going to be gone for a few weeks. I thought we could do the show without him but he really didn't want us to. He gets back on July 17th. i leave for tour on July 18th and don't get back till the 31st. This leaves us with out new debut date of August 7th.
We'll do four shows in August and see where that takes us.
You'd think with all this time we'd have more done but with everything I do I don't really prepare until it's last minute. So I'm sure when I get back from tour I'll work like crazy to get some good material together.
Here's the promo pic that we took that I think is pretty great:
Casey and me hung out tonight and filmed a bunch of stuff. I'm going to try and figure out iMovie now and try and edit my first piece!!
