DAY 50: BOISE, ID

For the 50th day of tour things started to get pretty bittersweet. Homestretch, 3 shows left and then adios. Boise, Idaho is where we stopped for our first show back out of California. I caught sets from typical tour acts like The Word Alive and Mike Posner, but a big surprise was in store when I wondered by the Kevin Says stage during The Bots set. The kids, literally KIDS, were jamming so hard that I spyed a few members of The Dillenger Escape Plan and Every Time I Die lurking in the crowd. Watch the video and decide for yourself, but that's some serious backage. I also hung out with my friends Jersey from Hey Monday and Brian from The Summer Set. After a long discussion about press and interviews Jersey decided he wanted to "interview" Brian about some things... Way to be a good sport B, way to be.

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 34: Cincinnati, OH

After the Eco clean up day yesterday, those who did it were pretty tired in Cincinnati. The seven day stretch of tour dates and extra hot weather had everyone kind of on edge. The venue was cool because there were two ampitheaters and the Main stage was in one while the AP/Advent and Glamour Kills stages rotated in the other. It was really hot again, so luckily that left lots of room for kids to cool off. I caught sets from Emmure, Four Year Strong, and The Word Alive, as well as some acoustic things happening in the Kia tent and Girlz Garage. Here are a few photos from the day. Back to video tomorrow in Milwaukee!
