END OF NIGHT 9

Leaving the studio again. I showed Luis some of my songs. He said we should do some acoustic work together...maybe... if I made an album, Id call it "The Bi-polar diaries"....Tear her wrist.... Eleonora's song called Kevin Run gets its name from Home alone.

DAY 10

- morning... Last night we went to a restaurant called Sweet Tomatoes. its like Fresh Choice around here. They let us take all the bakery goods. finally a break. We didnt even them either, they just offered. Out in the parking lot we prayed and thanked god. I'm not one for god but i was just as thankful. I thanked Erin the manager also. Squidward slept in the drivers seat last night. he looked so uncomfortable cause he's the tallest one here. On the end of night one, Luis was joking around and said in the video blog that La circa and the Subtle way doesnt' sleep in vans. which they have though. I thought to myself... who among my filmmaking peers does this? or better yet who can do this? I'm willing to bet that if you took all them and put them in a room and asked them if they've ever got into the shit, did real fieldwork, eat crappy food and sleep in shitty conditions, all while filming and editing all day, you'd get a room full of pockets.

DAY 7

waking up this morning was extremely bad cause we got kicked out of 2 wal-marts so we ended up staying at a park near the Ryan the Producer's apartment. Chris and Squidward are watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall on my computer right now. I'm all caught up on editing right now so it wasn't a problem for them to watch it. They kinda needed it. I had a text conversation with Amber today. I told her that I honestly can't imagine how my life would be if I had never met her. I really belive my life started in '09. Alfie is finishing tracking guitars today. I'm sleepy but I can't take a nap cause my ipod is charging, and sometimes I feel that in oregon, thats the only way I can really fall asleep.

DAY 8

I didnt write much for this day. Except that I'm editing and day 7 is loading onto youtube.

End of Night 5

Lisening to Identity Crisis by Thrice. Download innerpartysystem. I'm seriously on music overload. Everyone is super tired. I'm getting tired also. Crankiness is going up also. I feel like I've connected with everyone on certain levels, maybe cause its just that I'm a new face. A little refresher from the norm. I just poked myself in the eye with my eyeglasses. ouch.

END of Day 6

I'm almost caught up on my editing. I'm almost excited about that. Squidward (Greg) did some stop motion today. That was funny. Alfie is tracking guitars today. I took a shower. Talked to Amber a little. I miss her. So I guess our last day will be on the 26th cause the 27th is a show in Ceres, CA. I think its the 21st today. Right now, as I'm writing this, we're trying to get to the Wal-mart in Vancouver, Washington. The one that we were staying at put a sticket (sticker/ticket) on the van saying that we'll get towed if we don't leave. Its only a 24 hour parking lot and we've been there for a couple of days.

end of night 4:

Another night in the van. This time I have a blanket. No repeats of last night. We played a

prank on Chris tonight. Alfie drank a bottle of tea and we convinced Chris that it was piss. Alfie

vomited and we dared Derek to drink it also. Chris is so gullible.

Today was weird. I took a nap from 12:45 to about 2:00. I told them to wake me up around

1:30 but no one did. what a good idea. Tomorrow I'll sleep in the vocal booth cause its a bit more

sound proof.

Spending 24/7 with five other guys is definitely an experience. There are a lot of pros and cons.

You'll trade privacy for honest opinions and laughs. You'll get lots of gay banter among men .We're

all straight though but its a form of playfulness, like a comfort zone reached only by the most

trusting and committed relationships. A band can hardly function without the pieces working together.

everyone gets along. They depend on each other. For everything. Away from home they are each

other's family, (in this case 2 of them are actual brothers) girlfriends, co-workers, shoulders to lean

and cry on. and of course an open ear, and not just in the musical sense.

I feel like a young kid in a store looking for a family member. A small panicked feeling rushes

over me when I think of Amber. I wonder what she's doing and where she is. I hope she's safe

and happy. I think about her all the time. I think about the first time I'll see her when I come home.

We've spoken on the phone everyday since I've been gone. She watches the videos online of us

hanging out. She is fucking awesome.
