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

Shoes...

I dont really care that much about shoes until I became in love with Macbeth Shoes. I normally just wear my plain black converse's or plain white ones, but I felt like I needed some change to my footwear.

I will be purchasing the following






peace love and getting new socks

Almost there

So As of today I have about one week until, I embark on a dream I have had ever since I played my first song on a guitar, and that was to go on a tour with a band I loved playing music with. That dream is finally going to become my reality. I will be leaving on August 4 at nine in the morning, and will be heading home the 12th of August. While we're touring we will be hitting up youth groups venues such as The A Whiskey A GO GO and the Kodak Theater. We also may have some run ins with some big name companies to talk about a full time music career. I hope this blog doesn't seem like I'm bragging, I'm just up late and wanted to tell people about it so that they would keep Dice in the Icebox in their prayers as we go on this tour. We would greatly appreciate that.


While I'm on the road living from host home to Hotel room. I will try to blog everyday to let you guys know how things are going and what we did on our free time. I'm so excited I feel like a little kid going to summer camp for the first time. I don't even know what to pack.


You can also keep checking out www.myspace.com/diceintheicebox

To see how things are going for the band as a whole and listen to some of our tunes and maybe purchase a new shirt.



Thanks to the ones who believed

Stressed, but impressed

Life has ways of turning you upside down like a huge wave would do to a rookie surfer. It's been pretty rocky as well, I'm not writting this to gain any pitty from anyone, just to type it out in some anger and happiness. I say HAPPINESS because we as people need to take all the things that are bad in life, and use them as stepping stones instead of walls. These past few days have been hard on me and some others in my life, but I couldn't be happier that I have a a lord and savoir to go to through these times. Life is to short to dwell and we as people just need to move up and move on.

*Sweet Darts

So this will be a short easy read. I have been pretty busy making some dough from my daytime job, so I'm not that poor when I go on tour/ I still owe band founds like the rest of the guys. TIP don't ever start a band... I've been playing some Darts with a twist to it. Me and my buddy Matt started to get into the dart scene but we mostly play the backside with the baseball game on it cause it's more fun to us. Other than all that Dice in the Icebox will be having a couple more pre-tour shows in June and July so go and try to make it to one or two.

Just use Cover Up

Well not really, cause I have no clue about using make up. Since were on the topic or key word COVER!!! Dice in the Icebox made the Cover of the A&E setion of the Contra costa Times. We were so thrilled to find ourselves on there thank you guys for all your support, and letting us get on there, cause without your views and liking our tunes this wouldn't have happen.

If I could see you face to face I would give you all a HUG.

Miley Cyrus....or.... Hannah Montana

So today the band recieved a friend request from Miley Cyrus, who plays Hannah Montana. I didn't think it was the real thing, cause how lame people are sometimes with creating phony Myspace's, But it seem pretty real since she had like 1,000,000 friends...
