Denver, Wyoming, Salt Lake City
OH hey….It’s been a few days!
First wanted to say thanks to everyone that reads this! You are the best!
Imma shout out esepcially to Ken G. and Penos! I’ve gotten to get to know them better over the last week and they are so cool! They teach me about New York and are both super funny!
So Denver was pretty cool. The show was at the Bluebird theatre which is right on Colfax, a...
MINNEAPOLIS! and Omaha
Minneapolis was most def. my favorite stop of the tour so far. Started off by a trip to Perkins with Kris and the family (j&k and the girls), and then a nap before Ris, Aud, Tan, and Zac arrived! It was so good to see them, I’ve missed them a ton! Once June woke up from her nap we went on a walk to the Washington Bridge, a walk that from the 400 bar should’ve taken about 5 minutes...
goooooood time in Minneapolis. More to come
Chicago
Started the day out with June dumping her entire cup of milk over her head while the bus was still moving. Super. Actually it was pretty funny. Got to Chicago and spent the day going to parks. Its kinda funny, every park was filled with kids and their either young or ethnic nannies, every family has a freakin nanny! We also watched Free Willy and ate at Fiesta Mexicanna…I thought that place...
CinCin, Ohio
Yep, not exactly sure how to spell Cinncinatti so I’m calling it CinCin.
Today June woke up at 7:00 so so did I! We had breakfast at the hotel and went for a little swim, then it was time to make the trip into CinCin. It was only about a half hour, once we got there it was storming so we all sat on the bus and watched Chronicles of Narnia. Spent the rest of the afternoon bummin’...
Mason, Ohio
Last night was my first night at merchandise sales. Or as we in the biz like to call it, “merch.” It was a late show because “Cute Is What We Aim For” did the early show. Beause I wasn’t on nanny duty that night I got to go watch the early show and was sadly very disappointed by what I saw. The opening bands sounded like they had barely come out of their garage phase,...
Pittsberg and Cleveland
Hellllllllo
Got lazy last night and watched Freaky Friday with mags instead of posting this.
So Pittsberg, it was cool. A sweet town. I walked over a cool bridge. Our first stop was a radio station where J&K played live. The girls and I went to a sprinkler park and out for pizza and Ice cream. Then we drove to the club which was an old church renovated into a club so the inside was really...
Philly!
Today was a good day! Got most of the day off from my nannying duties because J&K took the girls to a museum so I got to go out and explore Philly all day with Mark and Julia. We ate at this trendy cafe and got to see some of the less touristy parts of the city. It was so awesome. The club today was a church that lets this guy rent out their basement as a venue, and the green room (or like the...
Rochester, NY...Tomorrow Philly!
Woke up this morning in Rochester, NY to the sound of rain and smell of homemade bread cooking. The bus driver Micheal, (bigger guy, lame jokes, bass pro fishing hat, nice) always leaves bread cooking for us each morning before he goes off to his hotel bed. Since the stingy club didn’t give us anything on our list last night there was nothing for breakfast so J&K, the girls, Julia and I...
Day 3: New Hampton, MA
Heylo,
I am writing from New Hampton, MA! Its a really cute oldschool town with a ton of tall tress and old buildings and touristy type shops. Every shop is like hippie clothes and jewelry or organic food, stuff like that. It’s a super sweet town. Inside of IronHorse Music Hall Mates of State are performing right now! I can hear them in the bus! Speaking of the bus..
Early this morning I...
lesson learned: never leave home without diapers
Continnental breakfast was very good. Took June to the hotel pool, then chilled back at J&K’s house for the rest of the day. Played like 4 hours of soccer in the backyard with Maggie and went to her Karate class. During which June did quite a number 2 and we were stranded with no diapers! Luckily, Julia ran out and got some before another disaster struck. Was introduced to two more of...
Day 1
I’m posting this from the above hotel in which I am laying in a huge comfy bed in a suite. Mark (The tour Manager, very nice, music nerd, glasses, gigner, organized, skinny pants, mac), who i’m sharing this suite with, is in the living room watching Family guy/basketball on a huge flat screen tv. I’ve decided I’m really going to cherish these next two nights, as they...
Got peer pressured into starting a blog...
Hopefully something interesting comes of it!
