May 20th, Gravemaker, ACG, Horizens, Saints.

Waking up in a bed every day is so nice. So this morning was day 2 of being in Kelowna, and being in a house where i can eat what ever and sleep in a bed has bin a pretty good jam so far. I kept it pretty mellow today just got a haircut and kicked it around my Dad's house.

The show tonight was pretty good, it was in a kewl new venue out in east Kelowna that was pretty big. I was blown away by how many kids came out and how many of those kids id never seen, It was awesome to see. Saints set was pretty good and there were some kids singing along which was kewl, Horizons first show was really good as well, nice to see old friends playing music again. ACGs set was heavy and they covered strife which was pretty kewl to, kids were moshing. Tonight was the last time i seen Gravemaker play on this spree of the last couple weeks seeing them almost every night and it was really kewl. Still blown away by how many kids were dancing and how good Gravemaker is. It was also super nice to see some Vernon friends I hadn't seen in awhile and more Kelowna friends I hadn't seen yet, and of course Sierra.

After the show ACG, Gravemaker, Horizons sierra and I went to tim's and had coffee and donuts, something I hadn't done in awhile, was super nice to chill with everyone. Another hard good bye as Chris and the Gravemaker dudes went there separate ways. Its nice to know ill be seeing them again pretty soon.

Back to tour, we spent 2 nights at wes's house with all 3 bands, Gravemaker, Masterpiece and Ill Intent, it ruled, his house was super nice and he treated us really good. One day we had a fierce wiffle ball game that quickly got outta control, But if I recall my team won. The show in new port was really funny, it was at a bar and there was barely any kids there other then the bands. The first band's vocalist dented the mic cage and the sound dude told him he would have to pay 15 dollars for another one and it was really funny, luckily chad came to the rescue. alot of these shows were some of the best, just the 3 bands moshing and partying for each other, being goofs and having way to much fun.

For some reason i rode with Masterpiece alot in Cali and it ruled, they had hella snacks in there van and are all awesome dudes. Santa Cruz was unreal, it was the town you see in the movies when they wanta portray California, on the beach, volleyball, really nice town, wicked hot, it was awesome. We went to a record store and spent way to much money but got some good scores. The show there was our first show with pressure point and like 6 bands played. The venue was in the back of a coffee shop but was super big and a ton of kids came out for one of the bands record releases, also the wrath played and a band that sounded like AFI (which rules) called wolves and thieves i think. Pressure point covered hard times by the mags and kids went nuts. After the show and much frustration of trying to figure out what was happening me, chad, wade and mike went to a dorm room for the night. The dorm was on a old army base and the kids there were all drunk and playing beer pong and the rooms were small and smelt like beer. After having a quick shower and 2 drunk dudes walking into the bathroom with me standing there naked we went to sleep, about 3:30am the fire alarm starts going off. The dude were staying with starts yelling every time the alarm goes and chad tried to hit it off the wall with a golf club, supposedly the alarm goes off all the time when kids blaze in there rooms, so much for the better sleep wade...
