we almost made it to trumansburg, except we decided that sleeping in a hotel was safer than dying on the road. after getting up.. we head out through no mans land to trumansburg.. beautiful scenery.. ithaca was kewl too.
we played a fun show in front of a great crowd :) then ate burritos and this awesome homemade corn bread.. woot. made more new friends before we embarked on a 12 hour drive to Chicago.. well... mokena

THANKS HOLLY! after driving a million miles we finally get to mokena... holy shit this venue was awesome.. we had a VIP room with pool table.. yay! our own dressing rooms... very awesome. we also met up with lucia and nicole here. it was great to order food from the dressing rooms as well.. that never suck. the stage and sound was great, so was the crowd, and it was really nice finally meeting a lot of the chicago fans.. so many of u were so awesome to meet.. yay! special hugs to maria, carrie and jenna.. muah! :) there was a lot of people there, so im not sure if the kill hannah boys made it out.. the boobs shout out goes to our personal waitresses.. so hot.

Chicago is awesome.. i was reading some of the 'scene' newspapers... the music scene is HUGE over there.. very kewl... if it wasnt so damn cold in the winter.. we had latte's and such.. then head out to Dayton.
Dayton was really kewl.. we made a lot of new friends, but about now, we were deliriously exhausted. by this time, we had slept maybe 3-4 hours a night.. driven several thousand miles... Holly kept letting me NOT sleep... sheesh.. ok.. so it really wasnt her fault ;)
we got to dayton, loaded out and then D, Holly and I went thrift store shopping. one of my fave things to do...
after that.. we played our Dayton show.. the other bands playing were kewl people. the first band was riff raff.. it was kewl to see a father and son in a band together rocking out. the band that played after us was absolutely awesome... they were called Simply Waiting... very kewl stuff
afterwards.. we saw boobs again.. yay boobs! then.. we drove.. completely exhausted to Columbus, to try to check in early to our hotel... Nicole was falling asleep at the wheel in the car in front of us.. which is never a good thing, but she tells us lucia kept her up by kicking her ass.. very good lucia! hehe.
states visited: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
Sun - 5/22
we got to columbus at like 4am.. checked in to another hotel and slept until like 2pm. we then got to the tattoo convention at about 3:30.. played at 5:15 pm.. it was a rainy day, but we got some pics of people impaling themselves with long sharp needles.. hot. :) the girl next to us at the System Down Clothing booth recognized us from florida.. which was awesome. we ate burgers and drank a bit... something about goth tattood girls, wouldnt u say?
after the show, we chilled a bit, head out to our new hotel.. then to the hotel bar. where we had a nice batch of drinks before walking 'just a few minutes' (yea right mikey)... more like 30 minutes to a bar that was kinda eh.... however, in this walk we talked about terribly hysterical things and ate ice cream.. i bought holly a happy face balloon.. it was cute. then the 4 girls sat at a rock sculpted couch and took a pic.
the question of the night was "are guys gay if the screw a chick together?" lucky we were walking with D and he shed some insight. nyk and mikey stayed at that bar for a few more drinks... we got back to the hotel.. the bar was closed :( boo!
for some bizarre reason, i couldnt sleep at all this night, so i enjoyed the comfort of the amazingly comfy bed and the companionship of my roommates. Thank you to D and Holly for one of the best talks ive ever had. ;)
on another note, Columbus OH has to be def the prettiest city ive seen in a long time.. i have pics :)
states visited: Ohio
Mon - 5/23
Waking up at 6am after staying up all night talking really sucks. we snuck over to the old hotel for free breakfast. then head out on yet another 12 hour drive to kansas city... the drive was LONGGGGGgggg... lasted like forever. then we got to Kansas City MO and set up.. watched belly dancers (nice boobs) played our set and made a lot of new friends. Missouri rocks cause, unlike most other cities we visited, u can buy liquor until 1:30 am... im sad to say that in connecticut, u cant buy liquor past 9pm or something.. what the hell is that?
so, we signed more boobs.. met pretty gothish girlies... then head out to our final hotel stay... we were delirious.. checked in to our motel 6 at about 4am...
