Warped tour update

Kris just said out loud "We sell lots of shirts," which if you haven't seen us at any of the warped dates in the past week, we're out of everything!!! We went a whole few days without Jorge :( just Kris and I on the road battling trucks and deer. Seriously, driving has been the hardest part about all of this touring. Bus calls are usually around 1:30ish and we can only stay till 8 because there's only 2 of us driving a 6 hour trip to the next stop. Next year will be da bomb. We're getting a bus and filling it up with us Stereo Bears, Ali Villella, Jac Vanek and friends, and hopefully another band. It will be sick!
We've slept at almost every rest stop on the east side of the country. I've been enjoying the passenger seat and having my feet fall asleep as they're up on the dashboard for hours.
After we load in every night, Kris and I drive off and write songs about life. We wrote some about Detroit and one about a man named Dan. So sad.

We got SUPER lost in Detroit (just the place to be lost). There were detours everywhere that ended when you followed them, then you were down a street you didnt belong. So far that was our worst. We had a 13 hour trip between Michigan and Boston the other day. I don't know how we did it but we're safe in Bean Town now just hanging at the new Apple store that is finally open!!!! They were the first place we went because the "X" key seemed to have popped off my computer in North Carolina and decided to stay.

Kris and I took a walk by the Charles river yesterday and I got really tired so we went and laid on a dock and fell asleep. I woke up 30 min later on the edge of the dock and was so glad I didnt turn over because I would have been swimming. We went and got pastries and cookies this morning for breakfast. It was a fun adventure. Hopefully we'll get cupcakes tomorrow.
Omg I hate myself so much for not updating sooner but I had limited free time after each stop between driving, sleep, and my online class. Blah.
                     





Everyone is wearing these fug glasses and I dont know why
                    



                             Every Avenue=My love
                    



                        The 12 hour drive from Miami to Charlotte. Lots of fruit stands along the way
                    



                     My purse every day. I walk around to my favorite merchies and bands to deliver goods.
                    



                            Charlotte, NC. Our tent was in a tree. it kinda ruled
                    



                       Exciting day because Settings jumped on the tour. We were their neighbors.
                    



This day was pretty much one of our best days! We met so many amazing people too
                    



Our limited edition warped necklaces. They are laser engraved on the headphone to say "stereo bear" on one side and "summer 2008" on the other. Love them!
                    



                 Oh Kristopher. Stop stealing the "Kris" in "Kristen"
                    



One of the many people to wear the head. At least he had the body
                    



                           We the kings crowd at Charlotte. INTENSE!
                   



Every Avenue. I had to leave half way through because I got really dizzy and sick but they were wonderful
                     



Virginia Beach. The longest day, the day we had an awesome location, the day none of the vendors sold anything.
                    




                    



                         At least we had a good time
                   



So it says "free" but I have at least 30 people a day ask me if they can take one. WTF
                    



We were close to a military base...and passion brand clothing apparently. They're sweethearts!
                   



                       Someone fell asleep on the job. Touring is exhausting, even for strong men!
                    



                              New mascot
                   



                                    look at my nasty bruise
                   



                          Oh and someone tried calling us "stereo puppy" ummm no?
                     



                  I hope they have someone else driving the van tonight besides him
                    



                       This picture couldnt scream "CUTE" anymore than it already does!
                   



                     Where waz u when i needzed u most
                    



                         Stereo Bear WILL increase your record sales
                    



                          Dinner, you're so good!
                   



                         then we got ice cream
                   



                      Much deserved
                    



Actually, Virginia was great for ice cream and peeing, which is what we did at that rest stop.
                    



Columbia, MD. HOT HOT HOT and I felt like we were on a camping trip
                    



                           doing a little inventory
                    




                    




                    



Haha I dont even know what to say about this stupid thing except I'm a moron
                    



This security guy is seriously my favorite. He comes by every day to wear the head. What a cutie
                   



                       Batman and AJ
                   



The dudes at Invisible Children took me to see Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. HOLY CRAP
                    



                       Somehow Jon ended up playing guitar
                    



                           And I ended up sitting by the drum kit. Awkward
                   



                            Cleveland, Ohio
                     



                        We had the best stages behind our tent that day!
                    




                   



We met up with Tiffany from hopeless_trash. She was so much fun! I hope we cross paths in Orlando soon!
                    




                    



                         I cant express to you how proud I am of this band
                    



                          Sup nasty face
                   



                         Our view all day
                    



                            This venue was pretty awesome. It was a little tight though
                    



Detroit! The day spent on a slant inside a baseball stadium. I got free starbucks though
                   




                    



                      A day I didnt have to sweat
                    



                           More like "take me out to the concert"
                    



                        This is what my feet usually look like (actually, theyre always a bit worse)
                    



                          If your babys ass ever looks this dirty, call for help
                    



                            9 capri suns later I turned into a monster
                   




                    




                    



                    Helping settings take nothing to canada so they dont get taxed
                   



              We went to 3 baseball stadiums within one week. RAD
                    



                   Yes that's guac. Appreciate
                 



                      Oh the life of luxury ....
                   


                      On average, we've been spending $100 on gas.
                    



enjoy me driving in ny making a rap

I TOTALLY agree with you on those ugly sunglasses! It looks like you've had the BEST summer EVER girl, I'm hella jealous! Are you going to be on the tour next summer? I'm going to bust my ass to get a job on it and if you're there it'll be even MORE awesome!

ps- I love the pic of your starbucks cup...weird I know but it just looks so neat.
