We couldnt pick a better city or venue to end a tour on. I love the Showcase and all the kids that come to the shows there.
The show was packed!!! All the bands played amazing. Oblige and Sinai Beachs girlfriends/friends came out. It is neat to see your friends happy and in their environment. All of the other bands friends seem so supportive.
Our friend Lauren was at the show and it was her birthday. I am glad she could share it with us.
After the show, all the bands went to In and Out on Ontario to spend a few more moments together. I hate saying goodbye when tour is over, so I made mine short and sweet and went to the van. I do not handle ends very well and all the bands on this tour have been so cool. Nodes and Sinai have long history together and it was cool to be able to go out with them. I hope Oblige gets a break. They deserve it more than anyone. August Burns Red has a 20 hour drive ahead of them. Those kids are going nowhere but up. They get more popular with every day. I am glad we got to spend time with them.
The kids that come to our shows always make me feel so special. It is overwhelming at points. Talking to each kid and getting to know them every show is my favorite thing in the world. They have no idea how important they are to me. Each one will always be in my heart. No matter what I do with myself. No matter if I someday leave music and continue with the next stage of my life, I will never forget these kids, the bands we have toured with, & the times I have had being in a band.
Now we are on our 30 hour drive to SD, then another 6 hour drive to KS for me.
