it was pretty awesome, home now, only gone for a week. it was one of those things where once you got comfortable you have to leave. so that kinda sucked.
But yea, it was nice. Everyone was really cool, the used guys, army of me, of course SR though i didn't talk to everyone. ya know, everyone's doin their thing, i didn't wanna be all geeky fan on them.
some of the cities were a little weird. tulsa especially. in virginia one girl tried to haggle with me at the merch table and then proceeded to say "i haggle with spanish people all the time, they don't know any better." that kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. i lied to her and said my name was Alfonzo and that i was spanish and started to tell her off, but someone blew my cover.

Aside from getting sick, merchandise merchandise! Helped my friend's band "Lights Resolve" out for a week. I've worked merch tables at local shows before, but never on tour, it was def an experience. Makes you feel bad for the opening bands. They get paid next to nothing, they can't afford good merch, then most people miss their set and don't wanna buy merch even if they liked the band, cause they wanna be cool and have the same used sweatshirt that like 50 people already bought.

yea i would def do it again. there is a slight chance they'll get on the warped tour, if thye do i already told them i'd come and help them in july. the thing that i realized though, there isnt much partying goign on when you're touring. we only had time to hang out after 2 shows. the others we had to leave right away and drive through the night, just to get to the next show.
