My Life In Two

Tour and Gore

The first week of tour has absolutely flown by, and has been so amazing. Everyone from In This Moment and Ice Nine Kills are incredible and such hard workers. Especially Spencer and Maria. We are the only supports on the tour so it is kind of fun to have a more intimate experience with the headliners. Something about Ice Nine Kills really interests me, maybe because they are just so different. Then again so is In This Moment. It has been amazing seeing the support of their huge fan bases enjoying our set.

I have spent a lot of time with Maria and Spencer with warmup ideas and they have really helped up my game. Our band is theatrical as well, but nowhere near them. They take it to a higher, amazing level. Spencer is enticing, always having a sense of mystery to him but a very sweet and smart guy. He knows his shit. Maria is just beyond words, also knowing what she's doing. Both geniuses and I am so thrilled to work with them. The rest of the band members are just as great and I have been bonding especially with all of INK. The guys in our band are really bonding with others too, becoming "bros," as they say.

"What the fuck is up?" My thin 5' 6" frame jumping on Ice Nine Kill's bus. "What up?" Patrick replied. "I'm bored." I groaned, plopping on top of Patrick, and not gently. "Get of of me!" He whined. "Oh suck it up sweets, I'm not even that heavy." Laughing at him, he pushed me off onto the other side of the comfy black couch. We did not have a show for the next two days, so we were hanging around Nashville today. "Want to go get coffee?" Ricky asked. "Say no more."

  Ricky and I have very much bonded over our love for dogs and coffee. Ricky and I shuffled off the bus and headed towards a coffee shop that was about a 10 minute walk. It was a really nice spring day and Nashville was beautiful. The coffee shop was small and enchanting. There was a coffee bar with stools and a couple of small booths and tables, with lots of windows for the view. It definitely had a local vibe to it and I loved that. Ricky and I got our usuals, for Ricky a hot latte with sugar free vanilla and for me a hot macchiato with soy milk. Our walk back was rather chatty, Ricky is just as enticing and charming as Spencer, but slightly more quiet and reserved.

As we returned, everyone had showered and was ready for the day, I knew they would want to go walk Broadway. We had a lot of fun on Broadway and goddamn those guys can drink me under the table, I couldn't keep up. We got an uber back to the buses where Jason and Lenny were chatting up a storm having a beer of their own. I took a nap and my phone buzzed.

Ricky: Thanks for getting coffee with me this morning! :) Let's do that again soon.
Me: Any time!

Spencer: Broadway was so fun! We should hang out again! Maybe just us to work on some vocals?

I am becoming a favorite of both of them, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing quite yet. If they are both are going to flirt, that's going to be a very large problem. I shook it off, maybe they are just being friendly. I'm not looking anyway. I put my phone away, said goodnight to the guys, and went to sleep not excited for the hangover that awaits.

I woke up feeling like shit realizing the bus was already moving. 11:00AM. I walked out into the shared space with my hair in the messiest bun you can think of, a oversized tshirt and shorts. "Morning sleeping beauty. Don't you look beautiful this morning." Coby said with a cheeky grin. "Shut the fuck up, Colby. Coffee. Where?" I muttered. "Ricky walked up to the shop before we left and brought you back your macchiato. It's sitting in the microwave ready to be warmed up." Jason replied, Colby not daring to open his mouth again.

I checked my phone.

Ricky: Thought you might want some coffee this morning!
Me: Thanks, Richard
Ricky: Any time! :)

After a long bus ride bullshitting with the guys we made it to Atlanta, Georgia for the show tomorrow. We got to work right away and unloaded our equipment into the venue before we did anything else. "So what is the plan for tonight guys?" I asked. "Maria suggested we all go for a dinner tonight." Mark said. "I love that." I was so excited to have everyone together.
