I’m still not over this.

This guy was hanging outside the mega Toys R Us in New York City tonight. I got a picture with him. Half an hour later when I walked by again, he pointed me out of the crowd that was passing by and remembered me. We pounded fists. It doesn’t get any better than tonight.

Catching up

It’s been a few days since the last update. I’ve been good about updating on this tour. I’ve just been mega busy. The first 3 shows on the G Love tour I didn’t have any merch, save for a handful of CDs. I finally got my shipment in for our Indianapolis show. The first half of it atleast. 23 boxes worth. The next day in Ohio another 20 boxes came. That’s something like 2000-2500 shirts I had to count and inventory. Not to mention we switched semi’s, so not only did I pack all the merch into it, I had to REPACK it into a new semi. Not to mention appropriations for crossing into Canada for last night’s gig in Toronto.

Aside from all that in the past week, here’s a quick rundown of what else I’ve done:

- went to Lollapalooza. Saw The Brazilian Girls, Girls Talk, Gnarls Barkley, Iron & Wine, Chromeo, KANYE WEST, and more
- GOT AN IPHONE
- went to Canada for the first time in my life
- slept a whooollllleeee lot

I have the next two days off in NYC. My favorite city. I’m so psyched. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s going to storm the whole time. We’ll see what happens. Here’s a an array of pictures from my last week of adventuring:

Chicago, IL / Lollapalooza:

Indianapolis, IN / Merch Hell:

Columbus, OH / Merch Hell 2.0

Toronto, ONT, Canada:

Rochester, NY:

Also, today I took a trip to Wal-Mart…AND BOUGHT A SCOOTER:

And not just any scooter. A DARTH VADER SCOOTER. Also, I got a Sudowoodo plushie and taped him to the front of it. Also, I got these:

Madison Roots Festival

Madison Roots Festival. Madison, WI.

AKA hippie and mosquito fest. It was a jam fest with loads of hippies and NO cheese curds. And I sat under my merch tent from 2pm till midnight. What a ridiculous day. Luckily my Gabbie came and visited me and hung out all day. We had fun adventures including wearing Batman masks, spilling water all over each other, and giving each other sharpie tattoos. View the hilarity:

Gabbie sucks at drawing tattoos. I am clearly the winner here. My stickman riding a corn dog should win some sort of award or scholarship or free personal pan pizza at least.

1st Day of G Love Tour

Welcome to Harrah’s Casino. In Council Bluffs, IA. AKA Omaha, NE (Omaha is a mile away). The ONLY venue in the world which situates their merch booth OUTSIDE of the venue. WTF. I fought with local production on it and they wouldn’t budge. What a bunch of jerks. Atleast this tour is cool.

Also, this is how I made $7 tonight! I used half of it to buy ice cream!:

This is me sitting uncomfortably next to a large, sleeping man. I watched one of my Shark Week DVDs on my computer for about an hour. He watched with me (creepy?) even though there wasn’t any sound for him. Just carnage. Hoodies are security blankets for your head. A whole room for you to hide away in wherever you want. Mmmm… (you can find the one I’m wearing at the We The Kings merch booth on Warped Tour right now)
