Convicted: Syracuse

This is the first time I've ever written something twice in a day but I'm sitting in our hotel room bored and bummed so here you go.

We stayed and this guy Jakes house in a swank area in Pittsburgh, and until yesterday I would have never guessed such a thing existed. We left nice and early and went to get the van an oil change.






Charlie and Hofacker thought they were hot shit with my FTC hat, whatever.





I downloaded a sweet app on my phone that takes black and white pictures:






Yeah it got nice and quiet and we all started falling asleep. 7 people sleeping in our "cargo" van hasn't been a problem until today...




Whatever.

We got there on time.

This venue fucking sucks. It's a giant open hardwood room with a stage that has power outlets ONLY on the front of the stage so people often unplug amps during the set. They had everyone play on the floor but it still sounded like absolute shit.




Have heart is absolutely the biggest band I have ever watched in a hardcore setting. Unbelievable.

After the show the van wouldn't start.

Yeah it APPEARED dead. So we decided to rent a van the next morning, stay in a hotel that night, and just drive back to Chicago a day early and not play the Boston show.

Big bummer.

We got to the hotel only to find out that the AAA dude who came to tow the van to the room fixed the van by connecting something that had come loose. (possibly during the oil change)

Playing it safe, we decided to not play Boston regardless of the apparent change of luck and just go back to Chicago a day early.

Things that break are fucking dumb.

Andrew and I fell asleep quick enough and that was the end of that night. Home tomorrow.

PS: Chris went out of his way to steal hofacker a pair of very nice navy blue male bikini underwear. I obviously took a picture of this and put it on here but SOMEONE didn't appreciate it, so at his request I took it down. But I can show you what it was similar to:
