DAY 52: Portland, OR

All good things come to an end whether you want them to or not. The feelings seemed to be pretty mixed on that exact subject as I talked with many of the bands from this years line up. Let's play a game called how many bands can you fit in one video, deal? Check out what Hey Monday, Pierce The Veil, Eyes Set To Kill, Fake Problems, The Cab, We Are The In Crowd, Andrew WK, Confide, Closure In Moscow, You Me At Six, Iwrestledabearonce, Breathe Electric, Anarbor, Mayday Parade, Mike Posner, Versaemerge, and more had to say about the tour coming to a close in the video below. I have had an amazing summer, thank you all so much for following along with me. Thanks especially to those of you who I met at your stops that came and said hello. I hope you all had the time of your lives as well and who knows, maybe I'll catch you again next year. A few photos of me and some of my best friends from this tour goofing off and saying goodbyes are also down there under the video. Until next year, adios.

DAY 35: Milwaukee, WI

Everyone was so stoked on Milwaukee as soon as we stepped off the buses. The weather
was incredible, I got to wear shorts and a big comfy flannel all day! Loved it so much. I started out the day by touring around the venue with my bud Caleb Shomo from Attack Attack. We checked out some crazy buildings and the gorgeous view behind the Skullcandy stage. Then I checked in on the ampitheater and caught lunch with The Cab and Anarbor. Spoiler alert, Greg shaved his head! I swung by the press room where Andrew WK gave me a nice update on how he feels the tour is going, and Pierce The Veil also said hello. I saw Ice Nine Kills on the Kevin Says Stage for the first time and played this awkward iPad game with Dave at the Fearless tent. Check it all out below.

DAY 25&26: Columbia, MD

Day 25 was an off day in Columbia, MD and my busmate Lauren and I took full advantage. We took long hot showers in our hotel room and then walked across the street to a huge mall where we met some other tour friends and did some serious shopping. After we got back we did some late night laundry and room service grilled cheeses, then got a solid nights sleep in real beds. It was a nice break and I think everyone really needed it. Day 26 We were still in Columbia for the tour stop, and everything was back to normal. Anarbor got bumped to main stage for the day and drew a great crowd. I caught up with Nick and Justin from A Rocket To The Moon to see what they have been up to on the tour, checked out my buds in Confide who had an amazing crowd, and even ended the day with a Starbucks drink from across the street. Check it out:

DAY 18&19: Boston, MA

Day 18 was an awesome relaxing off day where I literally did nothing but rest. Then today, day 19, you ruled. Plain and simple. I caught lunch with the Artist Vs Poet boys first, then went to watch All-American Rejects where their singer Tyson Ritter hijacked my camera onstage for a minute. He might not be the best camera man but he sings so well that it makes up for it. That might be one of my favorite clips from the tour so far, that crowd was insane. I also saw Anarbor and caught up with Greg about the venue today and tour so far, and last but not least I caught Sum 41's insane set with insane crowd in tow. Check out my favorite clips and photos from the day below. Early bus call tonight and we are already on our way to upstate New York, see you in the morning Darien Center... and as ALWAYS, I am required to give you a language warning because bands on stage can be extremely unpredictable.
