DAY 27: Virginia Beach, VA

I'd venture to say that this was the hottest day of the tour so far, but since I'm delayed in writing this and already experienced yesterday, it's getting worse each day now. In Virginia Beach we had some super soaker fights, tried to hide from the sun in tents, checked in on Dillinger Escape Plan and Cerebral Ballzy's sets, said hello to Attack Attack at their signing, and watched my busmate Matt play drums with Ace Enders. It was awesome because we had talked about that song and our mutual love for Ace's previous band The Early November many, many times. The weather started wearing everyone down and it will only get worse as we venture back down South and into Florida. I also shot a few stills at my good friends The Cab's set. 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 23: Uniondale, NY

Press, press, press, managers, managers, managers, labels, labels, labels... If I didn't know any better I would have said that we were at some sort of crazy music buisness convention. The Uniondale show was the closest stop we make to New York City where so many of these people live, so the show was bombarded by industry folks. The crowds in general were pretty huge, but that was nothing compared to backstage and sidestage. The venue had some crazy shooting rules and basically I wasn't allowed to video at all, so for today I'll leave you guys with some never before seen footage from Of Mice and Men. Even vocalist Jerry Roush took time out to weigh in on how the tour has been going so far, including what bands you should be watching, besides theirs of course. Check it out:

DAY 22: Camden, NJ

Day 21... It's my birthdayyyy! Well, it was my birthday. Now it is two days later and I just now got internet again! Our internet on the road is always so sketchy but the last few days it has just been miserable. We were in Camden, NJ (really close to Philly) and it was my birthday so I took the day off... sort of. I hung out with my amazing tour friends and watched all of their sets. It was also my bud Cameron's birthday who techs for The Summer Set and The Cab. The Cab gave both of us a sweet birthday shout out on stage, my busmates surprised me with an adorable cake, I got some birthday cards from you guys (THANKS!), and The Summer Set and We Are The In Crowd surprised Cameron and I with another huge cake on their bus. After all that we got five taxis and piled in to head into Philly to go see a movie. Had a blast with members and crew from The Summer Set, The Cab, and VersaEmerge. Everyone was so awesome and I had a great day. I am going to be super bummed when this tour is over and I won't be seeing each of them every day. Check out some video clips and photos below, no real sets for today just some birthday shenanigans.

DAY 21: Scranton, PA

I think I lost my mind in Scranton, PA. Well, maybe not entirely but at least halfway. Day 20 consisted of catching sets, catching up, and catching rattlesnakes. No, unfortunately I am not kidding. The venue apparently is home to several of them and had built in cages to collect them in when they are found too close to people or in the attached waterpark. Check out the video below if you don't believe me. You should also check out the video to see VersaEmerge, Set Your Goals, some fun in the Girlz Garage, and a few clips from the late night BBQ. Sorry for being behind, intenret has been scarce the last 2 days. Catching up as quickly as possible.

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!

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.

DAY 14: Cleveland, OH

Well I am actually in Canada as I write this because on our way out of Cleveland last night we had to go through border patrol and I didn't have time to upload anything for you guys! But here it is, Day 14: Cleveland, Ohio. The venue was crazy and right in the middle of downtown, there were some pretty cool buildings and bridges all around to check out, but parking was crazy! Also, on a non-tour related note, when we were trying to get out of there last night Lebron made his little announcement and people in the streets went crazy. Wrong place at the right time? Anyways... fun day, I caught Every Time I Die first thing in the morning and the day rolled on from there. Check it out in my recap below:

DAY 13: Pittsburg, PA

So today was a technical problem hell really.... My mic went out as well as at least 3 bands had to stop sets for major issues. If I didn't know any better I'd guess we were in the Bermuda Triangle or something. Regardless, everyone made it through and the crowds were pretty amped anyways. I caught an early set from The Rocket Summer, checked out the water slide, watched my girl Sierra sing in VersaEmerge, melted about 10 times in the crazy heat, then gave away two signed tank tops from The Cab and The Summer Set during their sets to people who were paying attention to my tweets! If you are coming out to Warped Tour make sure you are following @vansgirls on twitter for your updates. Here is a quick video and some shots from the day.
