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 51: George, WA

Second to last day of tour. George, Washington... yes, really. The venue was called The Gorge, and I am not sure I have ever heard a more fitting name for a place. The scenery was absolutely beautiful but the incline was no joke. Everyone had to load in and out on a really steep hill which caused for some really close calls with losing carts and such. The Glamour Kills and AP Advent stages were housed in an ampitheater down at the bottom while other booths and stages remained at the top. I checked out Rev Peyton's Big Damn Band after they told me they would be having an "All Star Jam" during their last song. They weren't kidding. Members from The Pretty Reckless, Reel Big Fish, The Casualties, Haste The Day, Andrew WK, and more flooded the stage for the bands hit "Two Bottles of Wine." The crowd went crazy and everyone was having a blast. After that I caught up with Alesana, and You Me At Six who had Tay Jardine do guest vocals during their set. Check it all out below.

DAY 45: Denver, CO

Denver, CO was apparently a mile high. Just check out the front of the stadium in the photo below. Being at that high of an elevation was kind of weird for me, the air is really thin and it's harder to breathe I guess I am just not used to it. The show was awesome though. I checked in on Fight Fair, Fake Problems, and Haste The Day. It was Breathe Carolina's hometown show so they had an awesome crowd too. My good friend Joel Piper from Confde played some of his solo project songs in the Girlz Garage for a little acoustic set, and the rain hit us once again. The weather on this tour will never cease to amaze me. The stadium itself was really cool and had awesome locker rooms, thanks for the hot shower Denver haha, and last but not least there is an off day in Vegas tomorrow. Dear Las Vegas prepare yourself please.

DAY 37: Chicago, IL

Chicago was a fun one. I helped collect some signed pieces of equiptment for a charity auction, watched a few sets including my buds Of Mice and Men, and hung out in the press room a lot. There was no video allowed in the venue again today so I brought you guys some clips from behind the scenes instead. Watch the video below to hear from Never Shout Never, Closure In Moscow, Set Your Goals, and more. On to Minesota tomorrow, I hear we will be back in the heat... bummer.

DAY 29: St. Petersburg, FL

I wonder how many giant storms or hurricanes one tour can run into? Well, we are racking them up for sure. The venue in St. Petersburg is beautiful and right on the water. I started the day off by hitting up the beach area with my friend Josh from Confide before the storm broke in. Right as doors were opening it was obvious that we were about to get dumped on. I went to check out You Me At Six's set and then the rain really came in. Thanks to the dude who fixed my flip cam with a bunch of tape, it worked enough to throw in a ziploc bag and film a little bit for you guys. I wasn't able to take out my normal video or still cameras because of the weather, so no photos today, sorry. Check out the storm, and Pierce The Veil's poncho superhero trend below. Oh and by the way, it IS possible to walk a hole through rainboots.

DAY 28: Charlotte, NC

Alright, now I don't want to keep starting these things off the same, but oh my god was it freaking hot... Now that I have gotten that out of my system, check out the video and photos below. I gave my friend Shaun a haircut, caught Cassadee singing with Travis during We The Kings set, and hung out in press where a very funny and mildly awkward group interview was taking place involving Conditions, We Are The In Crowd, and Artist Vs Poet. I also met Stella from Dirty Little Rabbits, checked in on all of our boys at the main Vans tent, and learned what "tour appreciation day" consists of. At the end of the day I watched my bud Ross from Confide do guest vocals with Bring Me The Horizon... Oh and did I mention the 90's tunes 10 minute dance party? Well... you'll see. On to Florida... and into another hurricane.

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 20: Buffalo, NY

Day 19 We were actually at Darien Center, but everyone kept calling it Buffalo. The day was awesome because the venue was attached to a theme park which we got to go to for free. I shot a few early morning things like the front gate line (which was ridiculous), an acoustic set from We Are The In Crowd in the Kia tent, a bit of Confide's set, and then it was time for rollercoasters! I was such a little kid hahah I hit the park with Josh and Trevor from Confide, it was also Trevor's birthday (bonus) as well as Tay from We Are The In Crowd, Jess from The Summer Set, and Marshall, Joey, and Deleon from The Cab. The Cab's tour manager Sonny did an excellent job of managing the situation and keeping us all together hahah BIG job. We had a blast though and we managed to sneak a flip cam on one of the roller coasters to video shhh! take a peek:

DAY 15: Toronto, Canada

Today was my first experience in Canada and I have to say, you fans are crazzzy. I spent most of the day bouncing around with my buds The Cab, while they played, signed, and watched some of our friends sets. I also caught Andrew WK, Pierce The Veil and the end of NeverShoutNever. Even though the border crossing, rain, and exchange rate seemed to get everyone off to a rough start spirits were really high today and everyone got time away from all the technology and just hung out. No phones and internet can sometimes be a beautiful thing. So glad I have met some of the best people in the world on this tour, it makes days like today so much fun. Check out a few photos below and my video recap, see you in the morning Montreal.
