"Fuck San Francisco"
seems to be the phrase of the week lately...so we just got back in town from probably the worst weekend/show i've ever had.
1) leave LA at around 11pm. After some stops we get to SF at 10am. -cruise control goes out?? My foot is asleep and dead
2) Arrive at the hotel and find out we can't check in yet so we drove to a friends house but they gave us wrong directions so we drove 20 minutes in the wrong direction
3) go back to the hotel and finally get a room
4) no room to park van and trailor (still no sleep yet)
5) park in loading docks and go upstairs to sleep but cant cause everyone is to loud
6) get a phonecall saying we have to move the van and trailor and upload the stuff (still no sleep)
7) we upload and put it in the ballroom where we're playin and set up merch
8) finally find parking then went to eat
9) go back to the room and take a nap for an hour
10) go downstairs to watch some bands
11) go back upstairs and TRY to sleep but still cant so i went back downstairs
12) it's 7:30pm now and we're supposed to play "we're sorry, other bands showed up and now you're playing at 11:30pm" WTF??
13) got our money and was shorted $100
14) its 11pm now, we're all pist off and ready to play...WHERE IS RYANS BASS AMP? oops...somebody STOLE IT
15) I lost my cables and had no extension chords for my guitar
16) Ryan finds a bass amp to borrow, i borrowed cables
17) we get on stage and another band is setting up?!?! get in a fight on stage with the sound guy
18) got bumped back again...
19) FINALLY got to play..worst set we've ever played. we were pist off, my gutiar kept going out..NOT OUR NIGHT
20) go back to the hotel room after a horrible show and found out the room wasn't in our name and that the organization that put on that hellfest owned the rooms. we ordered everything to the room, ate all the food outta the mini bar and destroyed the fucking place
21) morning finally comes and we get to go home...TICKET on the van AFTER they told us we wouldn't get one
22) Chris gets phonecall cause his little little brother had a seizure outta nowhere and hes in the hospital
23) finally get home THANK YOU FUCKING GOD
This was the WORST weekend of my life but thank god its over. For anyone that watched us play, we're so very sorry for everything. We were in horrible moods, ryan got his amp stolen. A lot of the bands were missing things that night (guitars, cables, amps, etc..) our set got bumped back 4 hours and we lost a lot of money on the trip. Nothing was going right for us. I hope the next time we come up there it'll be amazing. I know some of you paid $25 at the door to watch us but ended up leaving before we played cause it was so late. I dunno how we'll ever make it up to you but we had no control over anything that night. Well, i think i've written enough! i'm going to get some rest...
