thursday, january 31st
well... we start the morning off at my apt.
aaron had just stayed the night & we were just getting ready for the day ahead of us!
after gettin pretty (aka straightening hair, brushin the teethers, puttin on some deoderant and sprayin some smell good cologne) we get in aaron's car and head to josh's apt.
once we get to josh's apt. alex meets up with us as well and we are all ready for our awesome adventure ahead. (junior doesnt come into the story til friday cause he had work....LAME)
so...we all pile into josh's car and start our trip down to waco!
we googley eyed a small lil waterpark...that none of us still know the name of...but come summer time....we'll be tearin that up!
not far into the trip....mr. balash fell asleep
(p.s. that big box is aaron's new bass. so come to a show and check it out)
finally we arrived at our first destination.
we went to Art Ambush for Alex to get some new ink done and josh to start drawin up his new tattoo
aaron was very much enjoying those late but great little wrist slapper thingy ma-bobbers
alex and josh just checkin out some sweet stuff @ Art Ambush
then we all got ready to spectate alex getting his new tattoo
alex gets ready by doing arm curls and showin off his guns..haha
then lindsey get's to work!
here's the finished product (not the greatest picture ever...so come to a show and check it out in person) & (p.s. if you don't know what this tattoo is....then....ask alex and he'll tell ya. *hint......it's a band's album art)
then josh and lindsey start drawing up his new tattoo....it's super tight. but you don't get to know what it is! :P
after that. i meet up with a friend that goes to baylor and go to common grounds coffee house and enjoy a glass of jobe and some live music from.... ethan durelle i believe his name was! haha! but he was good! then i meet back up with the duders @ starbucks and then we all head to josh's parents house (they live in temple) and we crash out because it's fricken late and we're all beat from the drive and the long day @ Art Ambush!
friday, february 1st

then we hold a democratic vote and we decide to go to the amazing Cici's!
this is when the chowin starts! plate after plate after plate
after cici's we head to lowe's to purchase some new stuff for our merch set up :))
then..... we all get a little rumbly bumbly in our tummies...and the cici's went right through us...so, we gotta go do the deed

saturday, february 2nd
so....on the way home to dallas from waco later in the night, we blew a tire on our trailer @ about.... 1am and we just happened to NOT have a spare right now for the trailer. AWESOME! so, we call i say 5-6 companies including (wal-mart, discount tire, 24 hour tire services and etc.) and NO ONE is open and/or helps. not even the supposed 24 hour service...they were false advertising becuase they did not come help us! grrr to them!
so.... we manned it out and slept in the van on the side of the freeway until 7-ish am(p.s. NOT SAFE or SMART...but we couldnt leave our trailer with about $10,000+ of equipment and merch)
so, then we finally get in contact with the NOT 24hr service place and they come help us out and despite the FALSE advertising...we were super thankful for there help!..
so..now we are finally on our way home and we all got lil to NO sleep and it was uncomfortable and cold..but we're real men :D (except annie was with us...and she's not a man haha)
so..the drive back was extremely boring....
me and alex chilled in the back listenin to our iPod's while aaron slept haha! (love you brother)
if you can't see this below....i was jammin to some george strait! oh yeah. i was. and dont even think about hatin! :P
so....tonight's show was in dallas @ The Max for a benefit concert for the organization To Write Love On Her Arms. it was our first time playin there and we will FO SHO be goin back. it was super legit!
so, we got there @ about..... 3:30 and we didnt play until 10:45pm so...me and alex went on an adventure to CHIPOTLE!
we had NO idea where we were OR where a chipotle even was...so we asked about... a bajillion other drivers. some people wouldnt roll down there window for us... i guess we were to goofy lookin for em haha!
so the show was dope! here's a sweet pic of the new merch layout! :)
again....hopefully we will be puttin up some live shots soon from the show! :)
sunday, february 3rd (SUPERBOWL SUNDAY)
so, today we have a superbowl bash @ a church out in madisonville.
the drive was just like any other drive across texas...long and boring.
so, we did the usual..... SLEPT!
so, last night we got a flat on our left trailer tire. today we had a BLOW OUT on our right trailer tire. fricken awesomeness!
so we spent some time changin that (this time we had a spare. YAY!)
p.s. while we were changing the tire...alex was playing with a whole mess load of the rollie pollie bugs and a HUGE ant pile haha!
this is the exact opposite of what our tire should look like! :O
so...once we got back on the road...aaron hit the napping again haha. (love you again brother) im not exactly sure what kind of sleeping position this is haha! ;)
again...it was a pretty plain boring drive....
BUT.... wow. God seriously blessesd us with the most amazing day and weather!
so, we got to the church a lil late..but they were so ridiculously nice and so generous and so helping to us.
before we played they had a short lil sermon and it was AMAZING. i wish i could type the whole sermon... but WOW it was so good! so thank you all for that!
ya know... it wasn't the biggest show ever, but wow were those kids amazing. they were so appreciative of us and it was seriously one of the funnest shows we've all played in a while. the kids were so into it and just havin a blast!
thanks ya'll so much for an amazing time.
and YESSSS the fricken giants won. yeah....it wasn't the cowboys :( but wooo hooooo we were all so stoked the underdogs won the game against the NOT undefeated anymore team the patriots. (except aaron was pissed haha! he talked all week about how the patriots were gonna win! and when they LOST he had the most bummed face ever it was soo fricken funny! junior was runnin around screamin. hahahahaha!)
well...that's about it for this blog.
