The last couple days have been quite an adventure.
On Sunday, the 24th, it was Brian's birthday and we played at club rock'n roll in Nagoya. It turned out that we had a lot of technichal difficulties and we were quite embarressed, but people said we still sounded good. Anyways, Kono got brian the funniest gifts and Marcus was a big hit.

Yesterday we had a very long drive back to Toyko and we lost our dear friend Shun. He, unfortunately had to go back to school and be with is family. He was a great tour manager and friend.

We finally got some REAL pizza last night and for the first time i felt full.

We are starting to feel the effects of being on tour and being apart from the ones we love. This is the only part about tour that is no fun. This expereice has been so amazing and I am really going to cherish the last two days with all of my new friends, Japanese and Swedish.

Hopefully I will write at least once more.

Please check the Scraps of Tape blog for a more day to day synopsis of tour.
