Wow the last week and a half was great!!
I went from Doylestown, PA to Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, NYC, Montclair and Philadelphia!
The main reason for this road trip was to see the band 30 Seconds to Mars play in random different cities!! Of course seeing the different cities and meeting/ catching up with mates was a major reason for going also!!
I must say though going 'on tour' you RARELY sleep!! so anyone wanting to do that as a career should really get used to the long car journeys and the MAX 5hrs per night sleep!
i LOVED every bit of it!!
in 10 days i honestly had about 20hrs sleep!
Managed to function quite bloody well too!!
Coming back to the normal everyday run of the mill life was a sucky blow!
reality bites! haha
MARS had 3 head lining bands for their tour, they were Neon Trees, MuteMath and Street Drum Corps.
Who are all fantastic i must say but i def liked SDC and Neon Trees the best!!
Its weird, when you follow a band around you come to see familiar faces, and those faces tell you stories about the bands - some of them u don't really need to know or hear.
But it is rather interesting how hearing what these people who you admire so much are really like in life can affect the way you listen to their music...
Though its also a humbling experience if that makes sense, because you see these people as real human beings, they arn't Gods, nor anything else like that, they are just people who love giving others a sense of belonging and whatever else through their music (or whatever else they may do)
I met some really cool people...
Met all the band members from Street Drum Corp, Neon Trees, MARS and MuteMath.
The peeps from Neon Trees rock(the band plus their team of helpers!), they're very down to earth - almost as if the 'we've made it' hasn't hit them yet, they are very humble and it was a breath of fresh air!!
No one really likes an arrogant person.
Street Drum Corp were also extremely down to Earth, my friend Korey and i were doing an interview with Tyler (the guitarist) when Adam Alt casually walked out of his bus with his Aunt and gave us all cookies.
Really genuine people - all of them.
As usual when your with a bunch of girls 24/7 shit goes down!!
the stupid stuff, that in a weeks time might actually be amusing but at the time of the 'incident' is fairly annoying!!
You know like crazy family fights in the car....
People name dropping others....
people leaving others out...
etc etc, all the shit you thought got left behind when you finished school, but didn't!
But for the most part it was an AMAZING experience!!
I got to go to Toronto Canada!! and its so beautiful there!
i got to participate in a Habitat For Humanity build in Toronto with a GREAT bunch of girls.
I laughed so hard i had tears on MANY occasions through-out the sweet adventure!
Got to get pictures with people i look up too, plus get lots with my new/old mates!
Saw some Crazy cities! some i love, others i was itching to get out of!!
it was just a great time!
loved every second of it. and would do it all again in a heart beat!
Until the next post Adios!
Bek xoxo
