so we left for tour on thursday. we were supposed to play a radio show in ct wednesday night but it was taking too long for brianlee to get there since he had to drive back from buffalo because he picked up our trailer there, so we just used the night to get ready for tour instead. we finished making a lot of merch in jeff's room, and discussed our situation. the guy we bought the trailer from didn't have the title, so brianlee had to drive it home with no title and no plates, and he got pulled over and got two tickets for not having these items. so without the title, we couldn't really take it on tour since that's kind of illegal and we could be accused of stealing it, and putting different plates on the trailer could get us arrested. so half the day on thursday, brianlee drove around and called uhaul places trying to get us a trailer to use. when we finally had it, we loaded up the van and left at 5. we were supposed to play a house show at 5 in pennsylvania, so needless to say we were late. but the kids were cool and we made about a hundred dollars. plus, the family let us sleep in their house. we got up in the morning and left for our show that night in detroit, michigan. however, while we were traveling west on i80, our van broke down about 50 miles east of cleveland, ohio. the gas pedal had gotten stuck and we had to get it towed. the guy dropped our van and trailer off at an auto place called ntb in streetsboro, ohio. they said they'd look at it first thing in the morning, so we got a room at the super 8, and hoped it would be a quick fix. after waiting around half of the next day, they informed us that a cable was completely shredded, and they had to order it, and it wouldn't be in until monday or tuesday. so we hung out the rest of saturday, and all day sunday. we just sat around the hotel room and watched stupid shit on tv (like the ridiculous new r kelly videos chapters 1-5) and played rummy 500 and monopoly that we bought from walmart and hung out at steak&shake and went to the goodwill, where i got some really cool tshirts. we thought it would be done on monday, but that evening they told us they'd finish in the morning. finally this morning it was done by 11, and we left before 12. we had discussed it a lot, and calculated that we would have to make $140 at every show just to break even with gas money, and there's a very little chance that would have worked out. so we decided our time and money would be better spent writing and recording. so we just came home. we got to jeff's house at like 740 and unpacked, and lauren picked me up from there and we went to the drive-in with everybody and saw the new willie wonka movie, and fantastic 4. then she drove me home and we hung out a little longer and then she went home. and i went on here and checked my myspace. i can't wait for my laptop to be working again. sorry to everyone who was planning to come to our shows (yee!), we really appreciate the support. oh, and i was originally planning on moving back to school on saturday august 27th, but jeff got a good deal at the recording studio where he's been interning at, where he got to hang out with thursday while they recorded a new song, so we're going to record there the weekend of the 27th-28th, and they're going to help me move in on friday the 26th. that's the current plan. anyway, i'm really tired so i'm going to go sleep. bye!
