I’ve known about Evernote for a long time, but just now decided to give it a whirl. Anyone else using it?

Virb →
I’ve shouted it’s praises before. So here it is again. Virb, is what every other “Social Networking” site aspires to be. It is the best things from all other sites, in a sexier package. I will be moving this site over to Virb in the coming weeks. Tumblr is fantastic, and haven’t totally committed to abandoning it…yet.
Everyone should go set-up a Virb...

Off to a bad start on the road to McAllen.
Driving back from Waco last night, we noticed the engine getting really really hot. Hot to the point where we could feel it on our legs in the front seat. It had gotten warm before, but this was bad.
We checked into our hotel with Ben planning on taking the van to a mechanic in the morning.
The next morning, Ben calls from the shop. A cooling system problem. Leaks in several places. Almost...

So much to deal with:
I’ve got so much video and so many photos. I’m falling behind with posting because we’ve been too busy having an insanley good time. I haven’t been on the computer much, and it’s pretty awesome. Here’s some hilights from our adventures:
We threw an after party at a Dennys after the Orlando Park, IL show.

Best show so far.
Chicago was, without question, the best show so far. The venue and the crowd definitely lived up to the hype. I had AJ from Forgive Durden record a bit with my camera, but the batteries died in the middle of the first song. :-/
I’ve got some more vids ready for upload. Just gotta get a decent Internet connection and some time to upload them. I also have a ton of pictures stocked up. I...

Chicago today
The whole time on this tour, the dudes have been hyping up the Chicago show. Supposedly this is going to be a blast of a show. I’m really looking forward to it.
This tour so far has been incredible. The bands are all full of hilarious dudes.
We’re at Rico’s again right now. We drove overnight from Akron, OH. 6 hours. I don’t sleep well in moving vehicles anymore, so...

Grand Rapids.
Another super fun show. We were brought silk roses by 2 sweet girls. Tons of friendly folks again.
We met up with my friend CJ and partied at his place. A sweet condo only a few minutes from the venue. It was so good to see him. It has been a looong time. I lucked out with the sleeping situation. A super comfy sofa. Noel, however…did not. (See my photo post 2 entries ago.)
Heading to...

Philly was sweet.
The Barbary in Philly was a packed crowd. Lots of audience participation and super nice people hanging out with us at the merch area. We had to cut the set short. Which sucked. We were the early show, and there was a later, 21+ show happening after ours, so we had to be done by a specific time.
All in all tho, a great nite. We were close to home, so we had a few friends show up. Auggies folks,...

Bahston, and on to Philly.
We played The Red Room in Boston last night. Sweet crowd. Odd venue tho. Decent size stage and sound, but totally inadequate room for gear. The venue didnt want us bringing in all of our equipment. So, I wound up playing Anarbors kit, reversed. I’m a lefty drummer, so I had to invert the layout of his kit in order for me to play. He was totally fine with it. They are good dudes.
Were in...
