So I knew it'd be weird getting back on stage in front of people. Weird in a good way but still. December seems like a complete lifetime ago when we were actually on tour. We were all exhausted and probably would've exploded into one big ball of hair dye and tattoos if we had to be on the road any longer. I know people thought after December that we'd just be done with it all for good and I can see why! But the weekend of NXNE and going to the MMVA's was an absolute blast. It reminded me (idk about anyone else but maybe them too) how much fun we all have together and how much fun it is to be around each other and on stage together.
Playing NXNE hasn't stopped me from being horribly nervous about playing a week on Warped. We should just face facts: I hadn't picked up a guitar since December before NXNE rolled around. A beach ball in your abdomen doesn't exactly make it easy to play. Granted, it all came back pretty easy so I guess that's a good thing? I have no idea. But I look forward to being on a bus and sweating a whole bunch and hanging with a lot of people and...you know, play some music inbetween all that. I think Blake will be coming along because the thought of leaving him home for a week sort of makes me want to cry (hahaha happens a lot still oh man :-x). We're still...sort of deciding but I think that's what we may do. Because while I know either set of parents are awesome and managed to raise us (and our siblings) pretty darn well and I know Kyle could take care of the munchkin just fine on his own, I still have panic attacks thinking about leaving him behind even if it's for a week. I don't know if that's weird or wrong or what. I know he's still super little but...yeah. Be prepared for a Peanut invasion on Warped Tour I suppose. Do they make infant/newborn (idk what he's considered to be) sized headphones? He might need them, although he can sleep through just about anything. It's just that he doesn't always want to sleep when we want him to.
Speaking of the Peanut, he is a whole month old as of last week or something. I have a hard time believing that though because it seems like just yesterday he was born. But he's gained like...2438904 pounds or not really but it feels like it since he seems so much heavier all of a sudden. I like to think we're sort of getting a schedule down but I know that's just going to go out the window tomorrow if I jinx it. We have learned to sleep when he does, although Kyle and I pigged out on cupcakes and icing one night just because it sounded good and well you can't go wrong with cupcakes. It was really fun although I think we still have cupcakes to eat. One day I might get sick of cupcakes and icing. Today is not that day!
Anyway. I will be at Arrow Hall on Friday for the Warped Tour because I can't just not go. I have a feeling it will be hot but it won't really matter because everyone else will be hot and gross while we check out some bands. YAY. So tell me who should I check out this year?
