Lets go for a brief review of my first day on the job –

I have never seen a band with so much merch! We had a brand new shipment of 3 new shirts, 1 new CD as well as girls boyshort underwear. Thats not too bad, right? well after sifting through a dozen boxes/hundreds of shirts we had to take a look at the merch from last tour and get that organized. Needless to say there wasnt enough time to get it completely organized so we ditched some older merch and stuck with new stuff for the first show. Tonight we will try to get everything up there in a much more organized fashion since the other bands came in and slapped down some amazing merch displays in minutes. It was overwhelming considering ours was so disorganized, but since we were the headlining band I dont think fans needed a fancy display to draw interest in the merch.

Tonight will be better. We WILL have a fancy looking merch booth complete with a bitchin tip jar. I def didnt have one last night annnnnnnd I prob coulda gotten some tips from some of the super nice people I helped out. A girls gotta eat—tips = food! So for all you concert goers who may have avoided the tip jar in the past ( I am guilty of it myself) now you know that the money does indeed go for day to day stuff, like being able to buy lunch.

The bus took off from Buffalo around 3am, just as we all started to crash in our bunks. The rocking sensation of the bus wasnt too distracting but it transcended into my subconscious, and I dreamt that I was in an earthquake when we hit a rough area on the road. I have a feeling these accomodations will do just nicely. We even have little dvd players in our bunks to keep us entertained when we cant sleep! Much more entertaining than my last road adventure
