I definitely get asked constantly–”whats the lifestyle like?” And my response normally is-”its a punk/rock tour, use your imagination”, and I truly mean that!

Imagine a place where there is a party in “bus world” every night. With your choice of bbq favs every nite. A hot dog or cheeseburger Of course those of you that know me, know that I’m not one to drink or get involved in other “extracurricular” activities. But you do know I love to party! So you will catch me hanging at these bbqs gettin acquainted w/ some different peeps and checking out the diverse music selections that the Myspace Music & other tour fam choose.

(Here’s a pic of one of the bbqs in Dallas I believe)

We definitely know how to have a good time on this tour! But we also still grind pretty hard! Lots and lots of sleepless nights, but at the end of the day when I walk around and look at things like this….

it totally makes all the sleepless nights worth it! Just thinking about what it would be like to rock in front of a crowd that size makes me jittery, but ONE DAY!!!

Anyway… Sorry I just had a moment there lol. Back to business. I know its been a few days since you’ve heard from me on here. Trust me. Lots has happened in the variety of cities we’ve been too and most of that is catalogued in my flip cam. Although, there were somethings that I did grab some digital pics of from my iphone!

First I bring you a couple pics from Cleveland, OH. I had the pleasure of being there as Lebron was teetering on his decision… But thankfully we booked it before things got crazy!

Check this out

And this

Pretty Cool Right?

After Cleveland we head over to Canada (Toronto & Montreal). I personally have been to Canada on a few trips. On 2 of those trips Toronto was definitely hit up, so I just stayed on the tour bus and worked on some music. Really what I was doing was saving all my energy for the trip to Montreal. TALK ABOUT LANGUAGE BARRIER!!! I had a blast and really did get a kick out of asking people where things were or how to get on the train and etc. I kinda felt like I was in the movie Hostel or something lol. My Wonka Colleague- DAN and I embarked on that mission pretty early in the morning! But before we got all confused on the transit system and etc we definitely needed to get a shower in… (if you don’t know showers are like heaven on this tour). There are pretty much lines for everything on the tour- showers, catering, bbqs, etc. So the fact that we had those two days off in Canada we were able to just go ahead and live it up!

Here’s a pic from the cart that picked us up to hit the showers and some other things I saw along the way!

Oh and PS in case you are wondering why the pic looks like something out of GRAN TURISMO… our show/buses were parked here in Quebec-Montreal (A little place where they do F1 Races) No big deal. lol

The Bio Dome (or whatever ha)

Some French Warped Tour Signage

Some Canoe Action

Here’s some more of what I saw while out in the city of Montreal:

“Ditch its” LOL

Maybe the best peanut butter in the world?–not to mention a HUGE $5 meal.

Awesome. Whether you do or dont drink! (Awesome Pub)

And lastly, this things was pretty intense and figured I’d share!
