Hello everyone, how goes it?.....

I'm sitting in my kitchen right now watching the Phillies woop on the Dodgers, recooping and reminiscing of where I was one month ago from today, driving through the western half of Texas arriving in Houston in aproximatly 2 hours....

The time we spent on the road was short but awesome...thats about as best as I can describe it. It was everything and so much more. Thanks to everyone we met, bought us drinks, and made our time on the road worth wild. All the free beer and alcohol definitely made the trip that much better. Getting drunk and not paying for it, haha, cant beat it. Its also very cool how you can fill your gas tank, get your beer, then drive 30 minutes, park at a rest stop and drink til the beer ran out, just about everynight and everywhere in the country but Jersey. Coolest city: San Fran; Best beach: Mix of Carlsbad's cliffs with the Gulf of Mexico water; Most enojyed moment: April 22nd - May 18th.....
 
The last 2 shows we played were probably our 2 best performances and could tell we were close to home. Thanks to Thomass from DHH for hooking us up with a show at the Regal Begal and the free 30 pack of PBR, which ended up being one blur of a night..waking up at 9:30 with marker up and down both arms and legs and above my eyes....I guess thats what I get for passing out with my shoes on, right? I don't even know where we stayed that night, kinda reminds me of Arlington, TX..haha...

After driving home for the day to party and Ang's graduation party, we all got to sleep in our own beds, which felt kinda weird but I guess since we already made the journy it felt good, but when I woke in the morning I kinda wish I was passed out in the truck. On sunday we gathered our group of friends and made the 45 min ride to Wilmington to play probably the best show of the whole tour. Thank you Fat Shawn for making this happen. Played with our good friends, The Ruining, who kicked ass, then got pretty stupid afterwards with the guys. Glad we got to play with them on the last show of the tour. "The Spot" in Delaware is going to be one of the coolest venues to come in the next few years. Thanks again for everyone who came out and made this a true 'Welcome Home' Show.

So in review....AWESOME....thats all I can say....I hope all the blogs and pictures made you feel like you were there with us, as best as we possibly could make it... Hope to do it again for you, except have a video blogs instead of the typing.....stay tuned for Video's, new songs, and some new shows....June 29th at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick with our 'Black Sqirrel Buddies, Death or Glory....hope to see you there.. if you need a ride, you can always hitch one with us!

Thanks again for everything, hope you enjoyed the road...see you soon.
