Back from Hiatus

It’s been a while since I’ve posted last.  The inital intention of the blog was to talk about shit that was going on while I was in Europe, but I didn’t have a computer, internet costs too much there, and there was too much to write about. 

In sum:

london - expensive as shit, i had some expensive fun times

the rest of england - badass really down to earth people made my trip amazing, this part of the trip cost almost no money.  we got some meals for free, and got places to sleep for free.  (although most of those places i shared a twin bed with 2-3 people)

amsterdam - exactly how you think it would be

brussels - shit.  dirty. ugly.  some badass beer.  some throwing up on the street.

paris - beautiful.  I turned 21 there and zachs parents dropped 650 euro on dinner that night.  lots of drinks. 

now i am back in new york.

the shows were awesome and i’m glad some of my friends came along for the ride.  i think i would have gone insane if it wasnt for zach being there and remaining chill as fuck throughout all of the craziness.

Oh YEA.  the band broke up though.  time to regroup.

I need to regroup my entire life right now.  I dont have a job, my big ass tv broke, and i dont have a band.  We’ll see how tihs turns out.

Apologies, I have none. Regrets, I have a few. Fun, I've had a bunch.

Tonight we saw apologies, i have none play in london and it was sick.  it was pretty damn rowdy.  and they even gave a shout out to digit dealer during their set and people here totally know who we are! its so rad.  

Also, I finally met Alf and Nikola today.  They are the coolest people in the world.  I would like to take both of them home and make them my new best friends.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every single person here that I’ve met.  This dude spilled a bunch of beer on me tonight and then said ,”oh! you’re austin from digit dealer!” god i love london so much.

valri: This is where i am right now. The place is too big to fit in the frame. Outside my friends saw a fox run into the parking lot.It’s a little past 3 AM now & the city is dead but the New Yorkers are still up.We hit up a 24 hour deli down the street & the cashier said we couldn’t buy liquor because it was too late.  Things like that make me miss NYC a lot. Last night the bar we were at closed at 2 AM. What!? We met some incredible people from Manchester there. Mad-chester! has mad cool kids. i miss them already. Everyone in this new place is really lame. It’s a fuckin’ douchebro-deo in the Victorian mansion.

valri: Dear Officers,We totally noticed that unmarked van you were in observing my band mates (who you almost deported) & writing down notes. Like you didn’t want us to see you clad in your important uniforms! Was today not casual Fridays? If you guys get bored on the job don’t be afraid to hang out to drink some beers with us. We’re pretty chill like that. If you want to bring some weed that’d be rad too. Just don’t suddenly disappear like you did tonight. WHAT IS THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN!?
