Should I get these?

Uh oh!

I lost my camera! The other night I went to see the opera house here in Sydney and I left my camera in a cab. My girlfriend yelled at me. I know I am pretty irresponsible. I've lost ipods, cell phones, and now my camera!! What is my probem!? Maybe I need someone to carry all my stuff for me because I don't do a good job at holding on to it. Anyways the blog will be down for a little while. I'll have to steal someone else's camera or something. We will be back in effect before you know it. This isn't going anywhere. Hopefully I can get the camera back from the cab company. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Australia has been awesome. Been in Sydney for the past 4 days now. Ready to move on and see more of this beautiful country. However I did do a lot of shopping. Got 3 pairs of my favorite jeans. Also I've been hanging out with my friends in Motion City Soundtrack and The Matches. The Matches gave me a copy of their new record. It's awesome. Really happy those guys are still making it happen.

Eventhough I lost my camera I still have some pics I haven't posted yet. I'll get to that soon. No opera house pics though! Oh well.

Brisbane

After 20 something hrs of flying from London we made it to Australia. It feels like Britain but a mix with America. It's super weird to me. Anyways we will be out here for a couple weeks playing the Soundwave Festival. Today I rented a car and drove to see some koalas and kangaroos, and then drove to the Gold Coast beach area which pretty much felt like being in Miami without the Cubans. I hate Miami. I didn't want to touch, hold, or feed the animals though. Guess I'm weird like that. You can't get this kind of stuff in America though so it was pretty amazing to get chance to explore.



Mike Babcock. A new edition to our crew. (why do I always make that face?)


Roundhouse

These are from our last show in London. Our entire tour was sold out. It was pretty unreal. Probably the most fun we've ever had on tour. t was crazy. It's amazing that we can play 3 sold out shows in London. Anyways check it out.

Grammy Day

This was Grammy Day. These are pretty much the only pictures I was able to get he entire day. Most of the day was spent being really hungry because things were so busy we weren't able to eat. Anyways these are pictures from us leaving the hotel. On our way to the Grammys. Our good friend Mike Venezia was there to capture the madness.





Grammy Weekend Pt. 2

The second night we attend some parties. One of them being the Grammy nominee celebration. There we were able to get our medals and also take the nominee picture. This is the moment when it hit us that we were really nominated for 2 Grammies. I kinda got a little mad but then Tom and I hugged it out. I love these guys.




Grammy Weekend Pt. 1

The first night we got to LA we went to a Grammy gifting. At the gifting Dave met his idol Jason Bateman. Dave loves Arrested Development so I think he was pretty psyched. Anyways we played some Rockband which I am horrible at and then we went to dinner. It was a good night. It was nice to be in America.

Babyshambles

One cool thing I got to do in Paris was go to the Babyshambles show. Got there kinda late and missed the songs I really like but it was still an experience. I've just always wanted to see how crazy Pete Doherty is in person. It was pretty much everything I expected. He held it together pretty much but he was still crazy. We are on the same label as them in the UK and got a chance to go backstage. It sucked. So I left. I hoped to meet the Doherty. But I found out the next day that he was way out of his mind after the show. Good times in Paris.

Paris

Here are some assorted pics of us in Paris. Usually i put them in order but I am too lazy.

Anyways Paris was good. Glad to have left though. We had been there for many days. I got to go to this store called Colette everyone talks about. It was a pretty cool store. Didn't get anything though. Simple Plan came to Paris the day we were leaving but we got to hang and go to dinner. Good dudes. Good times.

Devonte Hynes

One day while reading NME magazine I stumble across this interesting looking guy. I though who the hell is this and why is he holding a rabbit!? He kinda looks retarded. Anwyays Tom bought the record. Its a pretty good record. Not OMG the best thing since "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" but it's what I've been listening to lately. I like it. One day I hope to meet this guy.

Amsterdam

This is probably the coolest city I've ever been to. Everyone rides a bike everywhere. The streets are cool. People live in weird house boats. Craziness. Didn't get to see too much of it though because we had so much press to do. NO! I did not go to the red light district! Tried to but it was too annoying. Plus don't really wanna go there.
