Our first tour was a great experience. There were plenty of times where we were pissed at each other but we realized how important give and take is and everything works out. Tour is very boring for most of the time. Killing time is a big part of the day. Playing the show is the best part, especially shows like July 7th when we played The Corner in Panama City Beach (thanks for making it sweet). The feeling of selling merch is amazing. Making friends is great. Hanging out with kids is awesome. And, being close with the band your with is super important. It is hard to imagine what is going on while you are away. Death is always creeping as I've learned in Atlanta, GA when I found out my mom was in car accident (she's okay, for the most part). Getting home to your bed is great but waking up the next day and wishing you were still on tour is terrible. All in all, it was the best 10 days of my life. I want to do it for the rest of my life, in fact. The winter should be amazing, when we go with The Paper Tragedy. Take care.
