We are travelling back to Los Angeles on Saturday the 18th after just finishing the show on Wednesday. We got the chance to travel home for about 48 hours if we wanted to and about half the group decided to get back to see friends before another 8 weeks away from home. Being back in Blacksburg was awesome since we got our flights changed to watch the Hokies beat ECU at home (49-27) our first win of a rough season thus far. Ryan Williams suffered an unknown injury during the first half which added to the poor playing the team had been showing up to that point. Hopefully this will get the team back on their feet to finish out the remainder of the season.
It has been amazing seeing the amount of support from people in Blacksburg and those back in each of our hometowns. Many people wanted to know about the show, our future plans and what we felt about the results. Overall the experience was better than anything I could’ve asked for or assumed I would ever be a part of. Out of 100,000 acts that auditioned we placed third, and though we received some tough judging comments in the last show we came out happy and thrilled at how far we had made it. The time I got to spend with 12 of my favorite fraternity brothers, as well as the constant support from those back home is something I know I could never get anywhere else and solidified my faith in the fraternity system as a whole.
Our plans now are to practice for our act that will be performed on tour while in LA for two weeks before beginning the nationwide tour. It will be about 6 weeks long as we travel to 25 cities across America. Starting in Oakland, California we will be snaking our way through the mid-west and making it to the east coast near the end of October. After the tour our plans are up in the air and where we will be living depends on offers as well as any other contracts with the tour or show. I’m hoping that I get to update this frequently enough to keep people interested in what’s going on out here, how shows are going, and life on the road.
Sweet dude. Live it up!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, Brian! I am looking forward to hearing about your travels and experiences.
ReplyDeleteWho all went back to Blackburg? Why didn't all the guys go?
Brian --- SO Glad that you are keeping this blog. Wish that we were out on tour with ya'll, but I guess it wasn't to be. Post regularly, my man, I want to know what we are missing LOL! AIRPOCALYPSE LOVES YOU!
ReplyDelete@sonristas - Well some of the guys didn't think it was worth the 2 days of travel for one day of relaxing after how much time we had spent working hard seeing as we would be coming right back to the same area.
ReplyDelete@Airpocalyspe!! Please just come and join us. We don't need all of the beds on the bus and they may not even notice if you just hop on too. haha.
