September 15th. Brooklyn, NY (Day one)

Driving into the city was exciting. I was tired but my mind was racing. Sometimes while you on tour it is hard to contain yourself. It is hard to control how much you experience. Sometimes too much is bad. It is easy to drink more when you are having fun. You are stuck in a van for hours, and hours. You listen to music that sometimes makes you crazy. You want to dance and jump and scream. Then a slow jam will come on and you forget all about that. Your next thought is how great tour is and how far you traveled and how you might want to go home. Then another fist pumper comes on and you pull up to raging party in Brooklyn and there is beer and drugs and people drinking and doing. And you are so excited and you can't wait to party with everyone and meet all these new people. Well that was not what happened tonight. We showed up to a party inside a really small apartment in a complex. With people sitting around in chairs and hanging out. Great. But..... I still felt good. The people in the apartment were really nice and I spied some people from Portland. We had some friends come to the party. We had to move the furniture to play and that is always fun. It was a good show. J2 danced. People had fun and Junkface got to play to their friends with was nice to see in their faces. Then some of us went to the city and saw the sad parade of losers dancing in bars at 3:30am. Man. The subway was fun. Ryan talked to some nerds about our show the next day. I really wished he would have used his British accent. We ate some pie. Sleep. Sleep. David and Wayne's is DARK. -Aaron
