Johan gives an update!
Hey everyone!
We spent our Friday in Indianapolis laying outside our bus sun bathing and drinking beers. Jesper's new purchase, a floatable tiki lounge with a built in sprinkler system was the hit of the day...and yeah, we played a show too.
When we didn't think this tour could be any hotter, we arrived in Detroit and ohh was it hot! The only cure was multiple showers through out the day when we had been lucky enough to find a parking spot next to the State Theater where the showers where located. As we awaited the night we geared up with $2 fake mustaches from the production office as the theme of the after party was just - mustaches. After a 2 hour drinking frenzy (open bar) it was our turn to enter the DJ both...All I can say it's that is a bit different to DJ for about 200 drunk punk-rockers than lets say a party like Misshapes.
Next stop on the tour was Chicago. We were first out on the mainstage (11:30AM) which was a bit cruel considering we Dj'd the night before until about 2 in the morning. We also made plans with our friend James to come out to the show and play saxophone with us on "Hit Me" but it all went down the drain when we got the first slot and he got stuck in traffic. As we where playing the last song we saw him running up to the stage with his saxophone in his hand but... he didn't make it.
Later that night we had made plans with Mark from Dark Wave Disco to come DJ their party so they came and picked us and Robbie from Fuse TV up at our hotel around 9 to go over to the party. Arriving at the party with a video camera in our faces and drink tickets in our hands we met up with our old tourmanager Sir Mike which was a fun reunion. The night just went crazy from that point and if you want to know what happened make sure to check out Warped Wednesdays on Fuse TV.
The next day was a day off from touring so we stayed in Chicago and slept the whole day.
After another night on the bus we woke up in Buffalo, NY. The catering people on this tour are really witty so obviously it was buffalo wings on the menu. So guess what it was for lunch today in Philadelphia? Philly cheese steak! Awesome. We love them anyways, they are the hardest working people on this tour! Both shows were really good so now we're about to jump on a train in to the city and have some fun. Bus call is not until 4 am! Yippy.
