New Friends

After the music had finished and the buses and vans had been packed, we headed to the basement of the 9:30 Club to relax, unwind......and get drunk with everyone on tour. It was basically an end of tour party. Some of us went around with posters and had everyone sign it as a tour memento/yearbook.

You wouldn't believe how nice everyone on this tour has been. We truly became friends with each and every member of the bands and the crew. It's a bit surreal being friends with bands that you looked up to, but you learn that even though they may be rockstars, they are still normal people and music dorks, just like us.

We would like to offer a giant thanks Reel Big Fish for taking a relatively unknown band on tour with them around the country. We hope we lived up to and exceeded your expectations for us. A big thanks also goes out to Streetlight Manifesto for befriending us and teaching us how to rock.

Thanks Aaron, Scott, Dan, Ryland, John, Derek, Thomas, Chris, Jim, Matt, Mike, Mike, Tyler, Tom, Donny, Dave, Cheese, Milo, Addison, and anyone else I forgot.

This tour is only the beginning for Tip the Van.
