So a quick recap of the weekend. The boys absolutely crushed it. There are so many special moments with so many special people. Had a chance to help out the @jkylxhyde team with a little bit of media support. They are so gracious and welcoming. It was certainly a highlight for me. @reapernoises brought the boys up to play their Collab. Special thanks to them for doing that it really made our weekend. Got to hang out with @molliejameson which is always an adventure. We met so many amazing people along the way let me now get to call friends. Finished the weekend off spending the day at epic universe. Then it was back home.
So I’ve really been enjoying the opportunity to handle the media duties shooting and editing the Crumb Pit shows. Here are some highlights from last weekend’s show in Austin. Unfortunately these didn’t make the cut as the standards for these things are much higher on the Crumb Pit channel. So I decided to throw them onto my channel here so at least somebody will see them. Enjoy
18 Hours in Atlanta
so the second part of our weekend was spent in Atlanta where we took an early morning flight from New York. Checked into our hotel by 10 o’clock and the boys were asleep for seven hours while I iced my ankle ankles and watched college football.
And it was time to hit up the venue which was a very cool theater
Did some Fan meet and greets and made sure the merch table was set up
Atlanta was off the charts. We hung out after the set to have more fan interaction hanging out with the crew in the green room before heading out to the airport for our 7 AM flight.
The boys headed off to LA while I’m going back to Toronto for a week of work.
18 Hours in NY
so back to New York where we quickly met with Debby who was there on business and to see Matt’s show tonight.
We went to her favorite place for lunch.
Then it was Showtime where we did a quick sound check I went through my managerial checklist and applied my newly acquired striking tape so the boys don’t fall off the stage.
New York was a great show lots of friends and family there and it was a special night for the boys
Then four hours after the show we were on our way to Atlanta
Well Toronto was a blast!
It was the first time that Josh has ever been there so it was fun to show him around. We hit the ground running by attending game seven of the ALCS. Captured some great moments and had a great time. The Blue Jays have always been my second team so it was good to see them win it is now time to switch back to the correct side.
Matthew came in so we had a boys week in Toronto. Took in a leafs game needless to say it was not as remotely as interesting as the Blue Jays game was.
Basically the rest of the week was just working. The interesting thing about having two adult children is that they actually have to work so we had a nice dinner at 416 played some darts and now we’re off to New York.
Weekend update
since we had a weekend off from the tour, Josh and I spent the weekend in NY to see a show, go to the Oregon vs Rutgers game and for unfortunately take in a Jets game. The Jets game was one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen in person of anything in my entire life
Got to catch up with friends and family. Got to go to brunch in the park with baby Aidan. Caught up with Gary O and cousin Stuart.
Now off to Toronto for work and game 7 of the ALCS
Days 10-14
Since we had some time off from the tour, Debby and I took advantage of the time and went out to the desert for four days with the Capeloto’s. It was a great time playing golf eating lots of food and hanging out. Back to LA for two days and then we hit the road again starting Friday.
Day 8
A few days back at home.
Been working on editing video from the past weekend and took the night off for some culture.
A night out with the family at the opera.
Day 7
A continuation of our Chicago Toronto weekend as we leave right from the show in Chicago to the airport for Toronto
after dropping our bags off and rest for a bit at the hotel we’re off to the venue for Soundcheck and a photo session
Then it is time for one of the most insane shows yet. Toronto was by far the most energetic crowd yet
after the show we had a quick burger slept for about two hours and then headed for the airport for our trip home
I can’t begin to tell you how much we appreciate @reapernoises for giving the boys this opportunity. It’s been such an awesome experience not only to perform in front of great crowds but to hang out with really awesome people.
We have two weeks off from shows but still more travel to come as I’ll be taking this weekend to actually go to the desert for a little bit. More to follow

Day 6
Took in some sites and walked the city. It was Joe’s first time in Chicago. We walked the miracle mile part of the loop we ended up at Portillo‘s for lunch and then at the museum of contemporary art for a little bit of culture. Met family friends for dinner and then headed to the show which was an absolute blast. Chicago really turned up for this one. Up at the crack of dawn and at the airport ready to go to the next one tonight in Toronto
