David's Diary

July 12th, 2009 (The Casbah, San Diego)


We started driving around 9:30 in the morning. The ride was really pretty, with tons of open fields and rolling hills. We stopped somewhere to eat food and it was a toss up between Quiznos, Subway and Jack and the Box. I’ve had too many bad experiences with Subway on the road to ever want to eat it again so I got Quiznos (which was still not that good). There’s something about being out on tour that makes it so much worse to eat at fast food places cause you know that sometimes it's your only option. At least when you’re at home you can choose if you want to eat there or not. Anyway, we moved on to the second disc of The O.C. and let me tell you, this shit gets intense! The best part about it all was that we were watching it while we were driving through the O.C. Now here's my question, while The O.C. was on, did people in the O.C. (the place, not the show) watch it? I guess it’s the same thing as people in New York watching Gossip Girl. I know people in Seattle that watched Grey’s Anatomy but that was about a hospital, not the social lifestyle of angst-ridden teenagers. These are serious questions that you guys should help me out with.

We rolled up to the Casbah early so we drove to a coffee shop to meet up with one of Liam’s friends and our friend Jasmine who helped us do merch while we were in Cali. The Casbah is a really cool club, it has an outdoor area right outside the main room, which is really nice cause it was hot as hell on stage. After the show the bar tender called Liam and I out for recently turning 21 because I ordered a shot of whiskey and a rum and coke and he order a shot of whiskey and a vodka tonic, all to be consumed at once. I guess those things don’t go well together.

We drove back up to LA that night to this absolutely stunning hotel. There were two areas in each room, a living room with a kitchen, a fold out couch and a small balcony, and then an area that was two beds with a curtain separating it from the living room. We passed out as soon as we got there.
