Post Tofurky Day Update

Dave Melillo: "How many of you ate lots of turkey today?" Crowd: "Yeah!!!!!!!!" DM: "Well I'm a vegetarian so I think that sucks."  What an awesome way to open a set on thanksgiving.
The rumors of the venue cooking for us yesterday turned out to be a farse, the truth was that they wanted load-in to be later so THEY could eat. Bummer. At least they gave me some bread to make a peanut butter sandwich.

Bury Your Dead stopped by to spread the holiday cheer. They loaded up on some Cute merch for their next photo shoot, admitted that Cartel rocks their socks and jumped in some costumes for Hellogoodbye’s “Touchdown Turnaround” finale.

This morning I woke up to what I thought was the bus losing control and me dying but after I didn’t hear anyone else screaming I fell back asleep for 4 more hours until Justin woke us all up to tell us that the trailer had fallen off hours ago and that we’d been sitting in the lot of a repair shop trying to get it fixed. The steel hitch on the back of the bus snapped and ripped all the wiring from the trailer (way to go Pittsburgh). Only the chains kept it attached.


There’s no way it was going to get fixed in time to make it the 6 hours from Rancho Cordova to LA so a Suburban was rented to get the band to the show and Magann and I were left with a broken trailer and a tour bus all to ourselves. We decided the best thing to do was to go back to bed for another 3 hours, waking up at 3pm Pacific time (6pm real world time). I’m effed when I have to go back to work on Tuesday morning.
