We got on the road today at 8:30 in the morning and spent 14 hours getting from the far North-East of France to the Far South-east. We took the route Nationale in order to avoid 100 euros in tolls and was totally worth it. Jon and I have this theory that France is sort of like the Ergs of Europe. It's like how the Ergs had the nerve to keep writing more and more songs and putting out more records. It was sort of like "ok, the Ergs, we get it, you're really good at pop-punk." Well France is sort of like that...every city is 20 times nicer than the last and the scenery keeps getting prettier and prettier; It's like; "Ok France, we get it, you're fucking beautiful."

I am slowly mastering the Frech Keyboard. Tomorrow we play Toulouse, which begins a week of shows every night. Usually I hate off days on tour, but when you are in France, they arent that bad.

I miss my dog.
