So I just back home from my Tour I was on with my band. Now this tour started out like any other little tour a small band would go on. Then became much much more. I say this because at the end of tour we got to be part of a Competition called Hollywood's Next best Talent. It was a very cool event that involved many talented people from singers in every genre and Actors in every style and dancers, and Bands. The Band Category was the one we were in. We had to play one of our songs in two minutes which involved re-writing that song, then we were to perform it in front of only for a panel of judges that consist of record Companies Like Hollywood Records, Columbia Records, producers for some of these companies and some management companies that were connected to these bigger companies...I think I used that word enough now..good thing this isn't being graded.
(Sorry old High school English Teacher Ms. Rod)
So after all that stress and nerves and being done throwing up, which I did by the way. We headed to our room in the Hotel and then enjoyed Denny's with some new friends we met through this event. The next day we found out that we won the Band category, and also found out that we would be performing the next night at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre. That was an amazing experience, we also received a trophy from two model gals...and I was also interviewed by a lady after our performance from MTV on the stage, not in front of a camera, but it was still cool.
A lot of great stuff has been happening with me and the band, and I give it all to my Lord and Savior. I would also like to thank all my family, and close friends who have been there through it all. You guys are awesome.
I can't wait to see where the rest of my story goes.

Tour....updates
August,5
Long drive to Arcadia with a few stops here and there. Then we finally arrived at our destination. My aunt and Uncles house. It was some fun in the sun. We went swimming and then had some spaghetti. Watched a show called Wiped Out, I must say that was pretty funny. Finally got some real sleep in a bed, with Erik....no gay jokes please.
August,6
Woke up to Ryan coming in our room saying "wow this bed is way better than the one in my room" then enjoying a wonderful Brunch with some COFFEE. Found out that we MADE WARPED TOUR!!!!!! for Aug 15( you must go)
Anyway we left the house to go to our show at The Whisky A Go Go. We had a long sound check. Took my Mom out to a nice Restaurant in Hollywood. I also got surprised by a certain someone who knows how to make me :).Played a great show, but I would have to give us a B- on lack of sweat. I know weird its a thing we do, well more like competition. We got to meet some new fans, and see some family of ours, that was fun. Chris Ryan, and I later on got lost going to Cisco's house cause that's where we're staying right now. Then ten minutes after our arrival I decided to get some Taco Bell with Aku, but they were closed so we drove to a McDonald's, oh ya we took Austins car and it smelled funny...I wonder why?
Now I'm about to go to bed for our big day tomorrow. I think we may stop by a beach. I hope we do, cause I need to surf.
Peace love and never start a Band.
Just kidding it's a blast
