One minute we\u2019re counting cables and cords before we put them in the trailer on our way out of New Orleans, and the next we\u2019re coming home at 6:30am from raging all night in New York City. House parties like the one in Charlottesville instantly conjure sights and smells so vivid you\u2019d think you were still there.\x3cspan\x3e\u00a0 \x3c/span\x3eHow do we still have 3 weeks of this left? How did we even pull this off? \x3cem\x3eAre \x3c/em\x3ewe pulling this off? How does George sleep so fucking much? The answers to these questions may be brought to fruition when we play our last show on the rooftop of the Redmont hotel in Birmingham, but if they don\u2019t I don\u2019t really care. The memories of my entire band plus about 20 people streaking on the lawn of UVA, George bringing the entire club\u2019s attention to him after he makes an obscene comment when the other band breaks after playing a song, and being shocked by the sheer unadulterated hotness of every other co-ed in Charleston remind me daily of why I love doing this so much. That is all.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x0a\x3cp class=\x22MsoNormal\x22\x3e- T.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3c!--EndFragment--\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                \x3c/div\x3e\x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_photo_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x3cimg src=\x22http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1723patHt1qzscjdo1_400.jpg\x22 alt=\x22Charleston, SC.
