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 46 & 47: San Diego, CA

Wow internet has been a nightmare this week. So many fun things have been going on and I haven't even been able to show you guys! Day 46 was an off day in Vegas. My bus and a few others stayed at the Green Valley Resort and it was awesome. My friends Jess Bowen, Joel Piper, and I hung out by the pool for a good half of the day for some much needed R&R. I caught dinner later in the evening and even played a little roulette... well tried too at least. In the end only left Vegas down about $20 and I am pretty sure I spent three quarters of it on frozen yogurt haha. Great day off though, early bus call and on to San Diego. Once we got there, it was immediatley clear that the day was going to be crazy. So many friends and family out because being back in California means being close to home for tons of people on this tour. I caught my friends Pierce The Veil's hometown set and man were you guys stoked! They always have great crowds, but seeing them at home was really crazy. After that I headed over to the Kia tent to check out Derek from Mayday Parade doing some acoustic songs for a big group of fans, and last but not least I met up with Street Sweper Social Club to chat for a few then watched their set. Definitely a tour favorite for me, their set is so much fun... I mean they do an M.I.A. cover, how can you resist? Oh and another big tour moment was on it's way that night. Micah Dean was throwing his annual dance party and it was a Saved By The Bell theme this year... More on that tomorrow.

DAY 40, 41, & 42: Edmonton, AB, Canada

How do three days get thrown into one post you ask? Well... when the first two days are spent driving to the show haha. It was a crazy trek from Kansas to Edmonton. We drove from 11:00 PM until about 5:00 PM the next day then took a break at a hotel for a while then drove overnight and into the morning of the show. It was a long way to go for one show and a lot of the bands didn't get to make it unfortunately. The show was a smaller one but the fans were stoked and it was a lot of fun. The crews, bands, and production were visibly tired but still pulled everything off. Here are some photos and a few video clips. Another full drive day ahead to get back into the US and to the Salt Lake City show.

DAY 17: Hartford, CT

Hartford, you were kind of a weird one. Day 17, first day back in the US. Tons of kids and a pretty packed venue. Lots of the stages were really close together so it made audio a bit difficult. Also, no narration from me, had zero voice yesterday and was told to rest it for the day. Sitting in a hotel near Boston right now and feeling good as new. I'm all yours again tomorrow guys! Checked out three sets from bands I had never seen, After Midnight Project, Mike Posner, and Mayday Parade. Just met Derek from Mayday Parade at lunch the other day so I decided to check out their set, he was such a sweetheart and it happened to be his birthday! So happy birthday to him, check out a few set clips and photos below. Back to full tour diaries tomorrow! See you bright and early Boston!
