Familiar Faces In Weird Places

The big 50 you say?

Fuck yes. . NEW ORLEANS . .

Yesterday was by far the greatest FUCK YOU show ever. . it all started out with us stuck in Alabama for 7 hours . .

You see things like to fly out at me from underneath semi trucks. . This time it was a cylinder block . . took out our oil pan . . To be honest, thank god AAA exists because it took 2 tow trucks to drive us 200 miles (more actually) from Nashville to Birmingham alabama . . FOR FREE .. . yet when we arrived to birmingham alabama FIRESTONE a problem that was suppose to only take 3 hours ended up taking 7 and cost us well over 445 dollars to repair . . .

We got on the road around 4 o clock . . we had about a 4 hour drive ahead of us . . yes. . we were not gonna make it . . Keep in mind this show was MCR's best kept secret show at the smallest venue on the tour (House Of Blues - NO) we weren't going to miss my 50th show that I didn't pay for thanks to the powers of Mr. Furry Piggy back giver . . lol . as Lj calls him . .

We arrived at the show 45 min late and caught the ending which began with Prison being the first song we came in to . .. We got through the crowd as easy as drinking a coke . . the crowd was deffinetly having it . . Gerard saw us coming in and pointed to the "bunch of hooligans moving the statues" . . . The show was amazing and I got my 50th show shout out which consisted of "I'd like to thank the fans who have been at the shows EVERY NIGHT you know who you are" . . Its nice to be noticed but not a necessity . .

After the super small show we headed out into the world. We retrieved the camera because in New Orleans we play tourist . . We ran into Gerard and Mehdi where we continued to share our story of the van taking a shit in the middle of nowhere . . . In search for the famous Bourbon street . .Gerard gave us directions and we were on our way . . but not before he gave us a high five and told us to go get waisted . .

Let me tell you something about Bourbon Street. . HOLY SHIT . . although I cannot get "waisted" as Gerard insisted . . I could see the half naked women parading around the streets along with their drunk boyfriends . . it was bliss. . As we made our entrance onto Bourbon street a particular midgit passed us by . . Lj describes it as seeing jesus therefore she couldn't react as fast. . . when she gathered her senses she managed to call out the midgits name. . "BEN!" he turned and replied " ohhh! haha its you!" he stopped to greet the rest of us . . and we talked for awile . . We talked about the next cd. . which he brought up himself by mentioning he really wants to play us one of the 4 new songs they've been working on . . he's been thinking about it for awile but he can't because the internet and people who record and fuck up songs these days . . he also mentioned the album wouldn't be out till the latest next year . . . We got a million thank yous for rocking out on the barricade for them every night . . he commented that we make the band feel normal . . and not like their playing to a bunch of statues . . I mentioned that I wanted to hear Standing in the rain again .. then jill through in " she actually wants to hear worker bees" . . with that said a smile spread across Ben's face and he screamed to Ian " WE HAVE A REQUEST TO PLAY WORKER BEE'S" . . a smile spread across Ian's face as if smiling was a disease and he replied "Oh my GOD. . we havnt played that in soooooooo long" . . so maybe. tonight. Benjamin Kowalewicz will make my night. . And to end the conversation on a funny note he mentioned that tonights so is dubbed the weird show and that its only an hour and a half away (meaning nothing bad can happen) and we better drive safe . .

There's this store on Bourbon Street called Jazz Funeral . . I believe . . its honest to god got all the awesome shit . . I bought 60 bucks worth of shit and my 30 dollar skeleton guitarists head broke off in the car . . ugh . . sometimes I hate tour for the purpose of shit breaking . .

Now we are in Baton Rouge . . waiting for Xfest . . waiting for the GL to become available. . worlds most annoying kids in front of me . . 12 yearolds . . fuck this . .

Baton Rouge really has nothing good to it. . yes, better than NO which was ghetto as fuck and annoyed the hell out of me . . BR is just humid and the kids smell bad . . Doors open at 3 I believe. .

Well for now . . . that's it. . the fucking shopping we did at the mall earlier was funny as hell . . but no more of that wants shit . . its all about the needs. .

talk to u late
