ok, here is my real update
Alrighty, Dec. 15 - 16...
We started off our tour in Little Rock, Arkansas. Little Rock is an odd place. On Friday we played a house show at a place called The Treehouse with Antichrist Spermdonor, Tha Fucking Transmissions, and The C.U.N.T.S. The Treehouse reminded me a lot of the Fort except it was next to a crack hotel. Also, alcohol is different in Arkansas. Bud Ice comes in 22 oz. bottles instead of 40s, but Budweiser comes in 40s. They have Stag malt liquor, whatever that is. And everyone drinks those little half pints of liquor over there. Also, it seemed like there were a ton of drugs over there. It was odd, but the people were nice and supportive, so whatever.
Saturday we played a show at a skate park in front of basically the same audience with the guitarist from The C.U.N.T.S. other band The STDs. J. had really good stage presence and apparently likes GG Allin. He was cutting himself and masturbating, which would have been awesome, except Holli came back to the show with her kid. Oops. I kind of got his blood and my blood on me as well, but some hand sanitizer cleaned that up pretty well.
We stayed with J. Gray and Holli Rockitt. J. made the world's most awesome sausage and eggs and Holli and Paul made some really good chili. They also had 4 really cute cats. The only problem was the toilet didn't work so well.

Dec. 17 - 22
It took longer than we expected to get to Georgia so we were a little late to our show at Swayze's in Marietta. It was ok though since no one was really there on account of it being a Sunday. Lee from Treephort/Lazer Attack/Nightmare Pizza owns Swayze's, btw. The opening band was called 40 Lashes, then we played, then I think it was the Crumsy Pirates, then 50:50 Shot. (Sidenote: The guitarist/singer from 50:50 Shot may be the coolest person in the universe.) Afterwards, we went back to James's house in downtown Atlanta. 40 Lashes was supposed to stay with James, too, but for some reason they left when we were at the grocery store. Meh. We had a lot of fun at James's. We got our asses kicked at kickball. We hung out at malls and sold tons of cds (mostly due to Fred's hitting on little kids skills). We shopped at Publix. We went through a lot of Gentleman Jack because it was on sale. We had Atlanta's best burgers at Vortex and awesome pizza at Fellini's. Really the only downside of that segment of the trip was the fact that everyone got sick, we all slept on the floor, and there was no hot water.
The people in Georgia were extremely nice. James is cool, his mom is cool, Chex is cool, Matt is cool, Kyle/Emotron is cool. Kyle gave me a ton of music off his external hard drive which I will have to share with you guys when I get back.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, we got a lot of shows there. We played at a jazz club called Little 5 Spot. (Little 5 Points is basically the same as Deep Ellum except not lame.) We even snagged a show at The Masquerade where Lil Jon shot his first video. We also played a house show in Kennesaw, which was a lot of fun. We should go back there sometime.
