O.K. So we just got back from a 2 week East Coast tour and that shit was fun!! Thanks to everyone who helped us out, gave us a place to crash, gave us food, beer, other substances!! It was a great time and we met and played shows with some amazing people and some amazing bands! Thanks to Jeff Be Damned (thanks to Riffkin for playing too) and Savage Luis in Savannah for doing our show, Jon and Summer for letting us stay up all night in their house, Laura Pleasants, Phil and Corey for coming and hanging out (even though they accuse me of never hanging with them in Gainesville) Pat Hyperealist for getting so drunk he passed out and mumbled some really funny stuff to me! Thanks to J.D. for doing our show in Asheville...one of the craziest places we have ever been, Ron's, where you can play a show, drink shitty beer and watch drug deal after drug deal go down...almost to a point where it becomes a sport to figure out just what is going down! It was alot of fun...I am assuming some of the people that were there that night have still not gone to bed and have probably aged 3 years since we left! Thanks to all the Chattanooga kids that came out and played the show with us! Thanks for sticking around and going nuts when we played (you've never seen so many girls in the pit! I was scared, well, and stoked too!) Thanks to Jesse and Kristen for letting us crash out (in arguably the nicest house on tour!) and , of corse, to BOB the dog....Thanks to Rich, Mark, Noah, Sharp Teeth, Media Circus and The Street Sharks for the show in Raleigh...that shit was crazy...shit, it was a Sunday and felt like a Friday or Saturday night! Those kids know how to party! Thanks to Tony Lea's friends that we met for the hook ups....wink wink! The guys outside smokin out and drinking cheap assed Gin right from the plastic ABC jug....nice...and thanks to Lori and the Richmond kids that showed up and took us back to Richmond so that we could crash out at their house! Thanks to Ryan Waste for not knowing that I crashed out in his bed and watched his TV all day!

Thanks to KT, STEPH, ALEXIA, LYNNAE and COURTNEY for showing up at the last minute and letting me crash at your house! (it was nice, and NO, it wasn't me that used your roomates soap!!)
