On Wednesday, Fear Before spent their day off in Albany at the office. It was a good time as usual but things got a little out of hand with our belly-band fight. In between getting attacked, I snapped a few photos:
Glenn (A&R/Marketing/Merch) wearing some eye protection in the fight. He’s a sharp-shooter.
David (Fear Before vox) hiding from Glenn.
Today, Chiodos are in town. We just went out to eat and I’m currently sitting at my desk trying to digest my sesame tofu. The guys, on the other hand, are a bit more active:
Pat, Matt, Derrick, and Brad playing basketball in the gym.
As you’re probably already aware, two of our artists, Pierce The Veil and The Color Fred, spent their summer on the entire Warped Tour. Sky Eats Airplane joined later on (Jul 27) to stay on the the remainder of the tour.
I had the distinct pleasure of spending 3 whole days on the tour. Compared to my previous stay on Warped Tour (6 weeks) this was nothing, but for some reason I felt more tired and sore than I ever have in my entire touring life.
Anyway, I happened to snap some photos:
Uniondale, NY
Pierce The Veil during a photo shoot
Jaime from Pierce The Veil with the most adorable puppy! (it belongs to one of the guys in The Devil Wears Prada)
Scranton, PA
Pierce The Veil, killing it! That security guard is not amused, though.
The MASSIVE crowd that came to see Pierce The Veil that day.
Beautiful Scranton, PA. If only you hadn’t rained hailed in the middle of the day!
The hilarious boys of Dr. Manhattan were our lunch-ladies for the day in catering.
Englishtown, NJ
Pierce The Veil got bumped up to MAIN STAGE for the day!!
Sky Eats Airplane on the Smartpunk Stage. Great turnout & the band absolutely SLAYED.
So we just started this blog and already haven’t posted anything for 6 days! tsk on us. With the holiday on Monday we’re busy trying to squeeze 5 days worth of work into 4 days (well, 3 days for me because I’m going to Florida on Friday!). Has anyone seen the Jim Norton HBO special where he talks about how much he hates the word “blog”? The way he says it is hysterical, but there’s no good way to type it out. Go look it up on youtube or something. Point being, I hate the word blog too. But we’ll try to be good about keeping it up-to-date anyway….
EDIT: ok, it’s not from the HBO special. i guess it was on the opie and anthony show one day?
A common misconception for over-50-retail-sales-persons, P.F. Changs is a place (a restaurant to be exact), not a person.
So, we went to P.F. Changs for lunch with the CinSun guys & crew:
Dakotah (guitar tech) & Katie (assistant) sat across from me. Katie made quite a mess and almost got us kicked out of this classy joint.
I asked Bryan (Beeler) to make a face, but apparently it was a very serious time for Bryan and this is what he gave me.
Vic (from Pierce The Veil) and Brad sat next to me. Brad was sporting a sweet Myspace hoodie - which we all then felt compelled to make tag lines for the hoodie such as “a hoodie for friends” or suggest that Brad was “in a place for friends”… ahh the little things in life that amuse us…
Craig was wearing a red shirt and ordered a red drink. Marcus was wearing a green hoodie and ordered a green drink. I still don’t believe them when they say the didn’t do it on purpose, but we’ll let them slide.
After sound check, Craig felt the urge to blow up balloons, but with our new balloon pump thing (pictured here, looks like a ketchup bottle) it’s hard to stop! Eventually we covered the whole table and had a bunch on the floor too. So what did we do with all these balloons? Watch the videos to find out!
We’ve got some videos from the show that Laura will be posting soon!!!
Show tonight at Revolution Hall in Troy, NY, if you live in the area you need to be there. Everyone and their mom from EVR will be there. You and your mom should come too.
The boys stopped by the office today and we had an awesome lunch that I’m still way overstuffed from and trying to not fall into a food coma. It was the first time I’d met everyone since I’m still pretty new here, and they are all super nice and funny. Expect an update tomorrow with plenty of pictures and video from the show!
You can read the band’s tour diary here, it’s pretty fantastic.
In conclusion, I need to choose a new movie to get from Netflix- any suggestions? I’m thinking Margot at the Wedding or The Namesake….
