George's Warped Tour Experience

Well, my day at warped obviously wasn't as cool as Chris's, but I'll still tell you about it. I picked up out good friend Trent and then we paid 5 bucks to get to the front of the line. Deal of the century! Then I saw Dear and the Headlights. They're a great band but I have no clue WHY they would play warped. They're like Against Me! meets Conor Oberst. WEIRD. Then I checked out Bayside with Ryan from Countless Hours and then got caught in the Anti-Flag pit, $1000 camera and all (thank god its all alright). Pretty fun tho. I've been waiting to see them for three years. Not much else. Bad religion is the best punk band in history, and the power got cut for an entire song. That was fun to watch. OH! And the Ataris got fat and bald.

Seacrest out!

Last Few Days

I can't even begin to describe how amazing the last few days were... So I won't write too much and keep it simple. Warped tour was in Pamona on Friday and in Ventura, today. Both days were absolutely amazing! I got to meet a bunch of guys in the bands at Warped, plus an incredible, random as balls run in with Mark Hoppus. MARK HOPPUS! The reason I started playing in the first place (Incase you didn't know). I met him randomly while driving down sunset with Bruno on our way to Warped. We saw him and stopped the car to say hello, and had apparently won free blink tickets because of some contest. Who knew!? Anyways... here are some pictures.

Yesterday was an amazing day

Have you ever refurbished a toilet?

As of today, I have!! Long story tho (and really not as funny as you think it would be) so if you actually care about further details, perhaps you should leave me a wall post on facebook. That's right, facebook has URLs now! The nuclear arms race for social networking power has begun! Do you know much about the cold war? If not, you probably wouldn't understand that.

Anyways. My grandma had a stroke last weekend so if you're wondering where I am/what I've been up to I've been in Michigan the past week visiting her and I'm flying home for 10 days tomorrow before I'm off to New York University for an intense month of photographic awesomeness!!!

Peace out, RIP MJ

Douche Clark: Reppin' since 1985

So right now I'm half way across the country visiting my grandparents in Michigan. I went to do some work for my grandpa today and I stumbled across this little gem. Seems like our friend Douche Clark has been here since long before any of us were born!



Peace

Prison Tycoon

So I'm sitting here in Michigan, its 4:30 AM, and for some reason, I fell asleep at 5 today. Weird right? Thats like...2:00 my time. So needless to say, I've been tired lately. But now, I'm up! I got this sweet iPhone game called prison tycoon. Check it out! Its been keeping my occupied for the last 3 hours. In the mean time, check out this video of our new song What Is Me from the Knitting Factory show on Sunday. Props to Trent for the video!

I'm Speechless

I sat on my computer for five minutes thinking of what to say about this next video... Then I realized that sitting on my computer wasn't a very good idea and I was probably damaging the hard drive. I got off my computer and sat in front of it and the thinking commenced once again. Still nothing. There's not much I can say about this video except, "Wtf, mate?"

If you can't handle the whole thing in one sitting (I can empathize... well... okay, fine... sympathize...), just watch the first twenty seconds, then fast forward to 2:45 seconds. Prepare to lawl.



If you liked that... YOU, GOOD SIR, ARE A LIAR!

-Chris

ya know...

I could be amazingly unorginal, and blog about the intense Perez Hilton vs. Will-I-Am dillema... but instead, I feel the need to blog about THIS

Watch the whole thing.. the best part is at the very end!



Okay, I know, I lied. Nothing good happens at the end, I'm an ass.


Lawl.

Blackout 101 Tonight At The Knitting Factory!

It's going to be an awesome show, so come check it out! It's fathers day... but hey, bring dad along, too!

La La Land

Haha, so I'm following Demi Lovato on twitter, and she posted a twit saying she'd love to hear a hard core version of one of her songs. Me and Skyler looked at each other and thought, "Shit, there's nothing better to do." And thus, our hardcore cover of Demi Lovato's song "La La Land" was born. Go listen to it on our myspace page at myspace.com/theblackout101

Shit's intense, I must warn you.

Guillotine of Love

Hahahahaha! I've waited so long to watch Brett Michaels get be-headed. Damn, that was satisfying.

Dancing Man of BuFest

I found this video on Youtube and decided to throw it on here because I totally remember this guy, haha. I was actually going to film his intense dances, but I couldn't find my camera (Which I later learned was in my back pocket... FAIL)

Anyways, enjoy!

BuFest

Here's a video from the show we played at BuFest on Sunday. Man, that was an odd festival! To rent out that space (Paramount Ranch) for two days, plus advertisements on radio and etc. in relation to the number of people in attendance...it most of cost somebody a fortune to put that thing on! Haha. Anyways, we had a lot of fun, got to see MxPx and Unwritten Law (We weren't able to catch Reel Big Fish :[ ) and afterwards, we went to islands. I got myself some badass, Jr Tiki Tenders. Amen, brotha.



Today we had Drive A band practice for the first time in a long time and it was weird to be back, haha. We're flying out to Dallas in two weeks to play a private event and then we hit the road again with Set Your Goals and Four Year Strong at the very end of July. That's a long ways away, and as much as I'm looking forward to it... I'm stoked to be back at home, haha.

Peace,
Chris

More Videos From The Canyon Club!

Man, that show was fun. Here are some more videos, taken by our photographer and friend, Trent Siggard.



I'm working on compiling some footage into a movie for YouTube today. Not sure when that'll go up, but you'll be the first to know if you're following me on twitter. Oh yeah, yesterday at BuFest I stumbled upon this tent, giving away free chapstick called "Shaka Laka Lip Blaka". It tastes awesome, plus it's SPF15 haha. Check it out!
