Joe, you were wrong again!

So i know its been awhile, and i'm gonna try and get it all in.

We went around New York, and i'm in love with the place. My favorite city is a place called Tonawanda. Couldn't belive how much it reminded me of Logan, 15 years ago. I'm gonna be taking my wife back there soon so she can fall in love with it too and we can move there.

Its right by Buffalo, and really close to Niagra Falls.

WE went to the falls. Slept in left field of a baseball field, and were woken up by the mowers, and luckily not the sprinklers.

We finished up the shows with Will Dailey in NYC. Boston was killer, and Will's crew was amazing. if you haven't checked out Will Dailey's music, please do asap. he's an amazing musician and an amazing person, along with Matt Joe and Dave. We're gonna miss those dudes.

Corey Chisel and his crew are now on with us. Amber Rubarth has been with us for a few weeks and we're really excited to hit the road towards home.

We played in Buffalo at a music festival with Blood Sweat and Tears. that was fun....

BUT i was asked to be a judge for a local american idol type thing, and i was nice. it was hard to be nice. i was nice. maybe too nice. it was scary because i couldn't be mean for fear their parents would find me and beat me.

Played Grand Rapids MI, great fun. Met up with Jensie and Tyrell. Good seeing them again. We stayed with some great GREAT people, the Nutkins, in Grand Rapids, and they really took care of us. We have really stayed with some amazing people on tour.

-little story that needs to be told. (and it wouldn't need to be if Joe had just owned up to his mistake.....)

So, Court used to run a lot in high school. i did too. when we were in the kitchen on the Nutkins, i was explaining that even though i might not look like it, i'm a decent athlete. Joe, in his wrongness, patted my stomach and laughed and said i wasn't. so we decided to put Joes ridiculous statement to a little test. Court and I would run a mile, and if I won, Joe would have to AGAIN admit that he was wrong and i was an athlete. If Court won, i'd buy him a pack of cigarettes, cus that's all that really motivates him.

Joe really should have known that smokers don't win distance races, but....

So we ran it, and of course i won. Court almost didn't make it to the finish line, and i felt bad cos the smoking has really taken its toll....but in all fairness, i could tell that he used to run. He said it almost motivated him to quit.

SO I come to Joe, ready for his apology again, and he STILL won't say it. THEREFORE, now we will list out the bets in which Joe has been simply wrong, and i've proven it. ( YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST ADMITTED IT JOE, AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO THIS!)

1. that i couldn't beat Josh in a game of basketball, to fifteen points, without Josh scoring one.

RESULT: NATE WINS THE BET!

2. joe says that i'm not in near good enough shape to swim that leg of the mississippi river.

RESULT: NATE WINS BET BY SWIMMING IT, IN JEANS!

3. joe says that nate isn't an athlete, and can't win a footrace against Court in a mile run.

RESULT: YEP, YOU GUESSED IT! NATE WINS AGAIN!

now joe, if you're reading this, know that all you have to do is admit you were wrong, and that i'm an athlete, and this will all go away. until then.......... : )

So now we're in Chicago.

Saw Chris Rock today outside of a hotel. Its funny because i saw a dude that looked like Chris, and he was wearing headphones and all, so to be funny, i yell out my window, "CHRIS!! CHRIS!!!" then the other dudes in the band look, and we're like. WOW that dude REALLY looks like Chris Rock. So we all start yelling CHRIS!!!!! CHRIS ROCK!!!! CHRIS!!!!

the dude ignores us, and has headphones on so its easy to ignore us.

So then we are like, wow, that dude REALLY looks EXACTLY like Chris.

Joes goes into the hotel, and says, "that dude has an entourage..." we're still like, No way, it can't be him.

We get to the club, and Courts friends tells us that Chris IS playing Chicago tonight, and that was his hotel.....

Crazy huh. We were harassing Chris Rock, thinking it wasn't him.

my beard is crazy.

peace.

joe, you were wrong about the race, BUT you were right about the ROCK, and i gotta give you props for that.
