Myrtle Beach (minus the beach)

Yesterday was an off day for the tour, and our bus decided to camp out in Myrtle Beach for the day/night. Originally All Time Low were also going to MB, but at the last minute decided to go all the way to Charlotte (where tonight's show is), and the Rocket Summer bus stayed in Norfolk because they all had tee times. Sonny and his crew headed to a family member's cabin somewhere in the vicinity, and to be honest, I'm not totally sure where Forever The Sickest Kids hung out. The point is, yesterday, the AP Tour was scattered about the mid-Atlantic coastal area. 

We were all pretty excited about being in Myrtle Beach, as it sounds rather exotic. However, the weather was crummy, so we didn't see too much outside the hotel parking lot. No worries, though, as we all relaxed, spent time off the bus in our hotel room, and got some serious non-tour work done (or watched the entire final season of Arrested Development, whatever came first). 

However, last night we all decided to bust out of the hotel area, and cabbed it to a great little sushi place. Eight of us from the bus went, along with a friend of Ben (Matches guitar tech) and Monica's (Matches merch distributor) who lives in the area. It was a really great night, as sushi was shared and non-tour conversation was had. (We'll overlook the fact that the Indians/Red Sox game was playing in the background and I had to watch the Tribe blow a three-run lead.)

I called it a pretty early night last night after the sushi dinner (otherwise known as sushi coma). I also wanted to get enough rest to gear up for my last stretch of dates.... Four-and-a-half more shows, then I'll be on my way back to Cleveland, home of the country's worst weather (I've decided). I think we're getting close to the venue, which is a good thing because I seriously need some coffee/breakfast. So, if you're coming to the show tonight, stop by the AP Table and say hello!
