ok so this story is from our first real tour ever...

it was the 3rd of july and it was a sunday...
we drove from new mexico to phoenix to arrive at some crappy club to play to like 10 people.
it was miserable...
just before we got to the club the van started like chugging really hard.
it just sounded like it was about to die..
and then it did..
sort of like it was out of gas...
so we filled it all the way up...
and it did it again..
so we called Bethanys dad who knows a thing or two about cars. hahah
anyways, he tells us he thinks its the fuel pump..

okok.. so fast forward a few hours..
we leave the show.. and nothing is open because it is
A. the 3rd of july..
and B. a sunday////

so we drive to autozone.. (for those of you overseas, its like a do it yourself repair place)
we had no idea but we were in the ghetto.. (van beuren street in phoenix)
and it was dark out...
we found the fuel pump part but needed someone to put it in...
so this guy tells us he"ll do it for 100 bucks..
NOW...
he tells us.. that the fuel pump is inside the gas tank.. and that we need to syphon the fuel out and then detatch it so that we can change the pump and be on our way...

so we get a hose and start to try to suck the gas out...
its kind of tricky but can be done...
so i try at it and no luck...

the guy who is "fixing" our van comes over and kinda shoves me out of the way and says in a super thick accent, "i do it!"
haha
so of course i let him try...
3 seconds go by before his mouth is FULL of gas...
its EVERYWHERE>
all over his face, in his mouth..
and im dying of laughter..
i couldnt help myself
it ruled. hahahha
so we're all laughing and the gas is finally coming out and we're thinking YAY.

about a minute goes by and we havent seen the repair dude,
so we walk around the side of the van and hes sitting down and is about to light a ciggarette!!!!!!
hahah
we all screamed NOO!!!!!! hahah
and stopped him...
that probably would have killed us all.

anyways.. liekke 6 hrs later we finally change the pump and get on our way to san diego to watch fireworks by the beach...
it was one of the most intense but totally fun times of my life.
a dude got gas in his mouth... hahahahha

anyways..
this is another pointless story,.

but ive got more still...
enjoy

My most memorable tour story actually involved your old drummer, Gregory, and it takes place in New Orleans at the House of Blues. I came there to visit with the guys from Farewell on that Powerspace headlining tour that you guys were all on. This was right before I was to leave to go on tour with Metro Station on their opening for Motion City Soundtrack and whatnot. The guys from Farewell were asking 2.1 million questions because it was just funny that I was going to work with Metro Station and yadda yadda yadda, and Gregory from nowhere goes,"dude **** Metro Station, they beat Luis in the MTVU video contest, and their video wasn't near as legit as his! God I wish my sister get me fans too." Funniest thing I've EVER heard and to this day, I still laugh about it because. . .it's so true. Godspeed Luis, good luck with the new album. - Edward

ahahahaha! I loved this one better!! it would've been kinda funny if there was fireworks in your van but not really cause you would probably be dead if he lit the cig but other then that it would've been a pretty scary thing to see!

Denie.

 
don't worry.

That happened to me too once!
some douchebag had the nerve to light up a cigarette in the gasoline
so out of nowhere
my mom screamed (and since we're dominican, she has the really thick spanish accent)
at the dude
She had a mix of English and Spanish cursing.

It was sooo funny.

Just like this story...
loved it.
