The General

Hmmm so I last updated in Pittsburgh, eh? Lets seeeeeee, I got some medicine so my sinus infection is gone mostly, that rules! We drove that night to Altoona and played the Jaggard church that night. It was one of those beat shows that everyone has to just have fun to get through. Dylon and I went up and sang during Single File and I discovered the beauty that is SHEETZ! It's kind of like a wawa but maybe better, because you use a touch screen to order all this food and different coffee drinks and smoothies and its pretty cool. Then we drove through the night to Buffalo to Cara's house, which I was pumped about because I haven't seen her in forever. We got there at like 6AM and it was super freezing and she had fallen asleep at Andy's house so she was 15 minutes away and everyone was getting restless in the cold but once we all got in and got warm I probably slept for like 2 hours between everyone with their fake new york accents and catching back up with Cara. We played X-TREME WHEELZ and that was cool cause everyone basically shredded badly all day. Met back up with Cara and left the venue to go to Victoria's with Cara and Andy and smoke, then we drove up to Niagra Falls to meet everyone. That was fun I guess. I don't really get what makes Niagra Falls some kind of crazy tourist attraction. All you need is like 2 minutes there. We all went to Denny's and then back to Cara's. We had a day off the next day and it was basically spent with all 20 of us rotating in and out of one bathroom showering. We all went to Cracker Barrel, then I had to say bye to Cara and we drove another 6 or 7 hour drive to Hazleton, PA. I rode with Brighten and we popped a trailer tire and it was Austin, Alex, Dylan and I, no lights, Dylan Austin and I using our phone lights to light Alex's way as he changed the tire and also we had one cig to share between Austin, Alex, and I and it was a native. (Alex bought a carton of natives for 12 dollars at the beginning of this tour and it was the last one. Worst Cigs EVAAAA) We then stopped at a rest stop and Austin said he had seen some youtube video where you can get a free coke from certain machines by putting your hand in against the censor, but apparently it was a pepsi machine and not a coke machine ..... so it did not work. It was pretty fucking funny though. We finally got to Nick's friend Brooke's house, which is an old Civil War Mansion/Hotel. There was an Army General staying here at some point during the war and he died here. It was way too cold to bury him outside... so they buried him under the floorboards in the basement and if you tap the floor under the pool table its hollow. The entire house is like a cobblestone castle. The inside looks like it was just redone in the 1970's and nobody changed anything, and then part of the inside is super modern and redone. It's really weird. I'm pumped theres a hot tub, a ton of bathrooms, and a bed for almost everyone. I never sleep anymore which is a huge problem. And I got some kind of hives in Buffalo that are bothering the shit out of me. Today we left Brooke's house and went to Lancaster. Once again I rode with Brighten and when we got there we went walking around the neighborhood. It was such a weird fucking town. There were tons of just like junk and antique stores. We found some magic shop where the guy did a ton of tricks for Austin, Justin, Alex, and I. Like super weird card tricks that we seriously have no idea how he did. The Urgency hopped back on the tour today, which was sweet. I missed Tyler and Auggie a lot. Also, there was a fooz-ball hockey table in the venue that I played all night, with Eric being the slayer of all time and beating just about everybody. I'm still figuring out whether I'm jumping off this tour in Long Island or I'm staying the whole way. I guess I'll update this pretty soon with that decision since Long Island is Saturday. I can't wait to get to NJ and LI and see everyone either way. I'm so pumped. I miss everyone a lot. As always here's some photos.
