Sarah Dope

Okay, I know, I know. It took me forever to do this... but I've been a bit busy (obviously). Here are the highlights from the KH tour...

March 8, 2007. Las Vegas, NV to Los Angeles, CA to San Jose, CA.
    Miss E and Meghan Mayhem picked me up from the airport once I flew back from Vegas antics. We stopped at E's to have dinner and so I could see Jeffree for a bit, as well. From there, I took off with my Strata boys and crew (and Sonny) to San Jose. Eventually get there.... to not sleep for a while. Whoops.

March 9, 2007. San Jose, CA. Tour kick-off show @ The Blank Club.
    Hrag, Sonny, and I wandered San Jose for breakfast and coffee before heading to Hrag's for showering and nap time. Later in the night was the official "tour kick-off show" for Strata. The kids in Endless Hallway joined us, and afterwards, we all went out to a late post-show dinner.

March 10 - 12, 2007. San Jose, CA to Port St. Lucie, FL.
    We left San Jose from their usual 'launchpad.' We didn't stop for a few days other than to get gas.... Talk about an intense VAN ride. 63 hours.

March 13, 2007. Port St. Lucie, FL @ Mojo Room.
    The first official show of our tour with Kill Hannah. Elias and I had been texting and calling each other nonstop weeks before the tour even started, counting down the days, hours, and minutes. Needless to say, once we got to the venue, I immediately hop out of the van and tackle my partner in crime in a thousand hugs, leaving Mat staring at me asking, "Hey, where are MINE?" I eventually say hello to everyone else in the camp, and am quite surprised (and pleased) to see Wooter was back with them.
    The show itself was... odd. Dancers on the bars... and somewhere in there, some guy tried oh so hard to get my number. Too bad he got denied. Repeatedly.
    Oh, and p.s. girls... If you're going to try to score with some of my boys, fake IDs are NOT the way to go. We sniff those things out like there's no tomorrow.

March 15, 2007. Winston-Salem, NC @ Ziggy's.
    Uh... Why did we even play there? It reminded me of a Long John Silver's on the outside. The cool thing about this show was that two girls had approached me. One of them spoke up, thanking me for the recommendation because they hadn't heard of either of the bands. As I looked confused, she explained that she was on my MySpace and had seen my nonstop bullitens about the show.. and decided to come check it out. It was pretty rad.
    After the show, we tried to shoot off fireworks with the KH boys. The rain shut us down, though. Bummer.
    Hearing someone start singing "My Love" by Justin Timberlake... Only to turn around and see Mat doing it behind me? = weird. Just plain weird.

March 16, 2007. Cincinnati, OH @ 20th Century Theatre.
    Really nice club. Marble floors and shit.
    "Everyone be sure to stop by our merch and see Sarah Dope!" -- Eric, onstage.
    Ridiculous, I know.
    Joanna (an old friend I hadn't seen in years) came out. It was a pleasant surprise. Almost got kidnapped by Greg after the show and load out.

March 18, 2007. Grand Rapids, MI @ The Intersection.
    "Go see our good friend Sarah Dope at merch! She's a cute girl." -- Eric's nightly shoutout.
    Had an intense conversation with Elias about my impact with certain professional decisions in the industry.  That boy flatters me too much.
    Eventually hit up a superstore only to get kicked out for cart racing.

March 21, 2007. Hartford, CT @ Webster Theatre. w/ 30 Seconds to Mars.
    We arrive for load-in. Tomo immediately attacks me in hugs. Enter everyone else from that camp following suit. It was soooo good to see them again. During 30's soundcheck, they played some new material they have been working on. Uh... hello, excited. It's gonna be sooooo goooood....
    Steph came out to see me (well, 30, too, but me, as well. hahaha).
    Afterwards was some damn good hang time, that's all I gotta say. Ah, like old times...

March 22, 2007. Portland, ME @ The Station.
    A pool hall. with LOCAL OPENERS. Yeah, I definately wasn't feeling this show at all. I loaded out as soon as possible then hung out with Elias while he was finishing his load out time.

March 23, 2007. Poughkeepsie, NY @ The Chance.
    Elias' birthday. Went to dinner with Kill Hannah and crew. Surf and turf.

March 24, 2007. Providence, RI @ The Living Room.
    The show was small... again. But the club had a cool vibe. It was a bit run down... but.. much like a notorious dive bar. Usual coffee time with Elias... Mat and I beat each other up (in a joking manner, don't worry). Ended up at the same hotel as KH... And party time ensued after that.
    Well, for everyone else, anyway. Elias, Greg, and I paaaaassssed the fuck out before anyone else. So tired.

March 25, 2007. Brooklyn, NY @ Studio B.
    John Rivera, Matt, and Alicia came out to see me! After show dinner occured afterwards at the Lyric Diner.

March 26, 2007. Vienna, VA @ Jammin Java.
    Uh. This was one of those clubs/coffee houses... but you know, Elias and I couldn't bitch this day about not being around anywhere with coffee. hahahahaha. Soooo we were happy campers.

March 28, 2007. Struthers, OH @ The Cellar.
    Boring. Very boring. I don't think I have any highlights from this show, to be honest.

March 29, 2007. Columbus, OH @ Newport Music Hall.
    Nicci and Anita came out to visit!
    Sushi and Starbucks with Elias.
    The venue itself was really nice. Lighting was fucking amazing. Good sound. Great show all around.

March 30, 2007. Urbana, IL @ Canopy Club.
    My mother came out to visit for a little bit. It's been a while since I've seen her... We grabbed dinner and some coffee with Elias, hung around a bit before she'd head back out.
    The show was really small... We're talking about 20 or 30 people there. BUT, it was still pretty cool. KH decided to have the fans stand onstage during their last song while the boys played from the floor. Video coming soon.

March 31, 2007. Milwaukee, WI @ The Rave.
    Sooo.. I'm obsessed with haunted things. The Rave is super haunted. We tried to break into the pool room, but with no success. We did dig around the boiling room and a bunch of other creepy little rooms throughout the venue for a while.
    The show was great. Great turnout, and a lot of fun. I helped KH with their merch again, especially during the rush, which, in turn, resulted in Greg oweing me a lot of drinks for the future as a pay back. haha.
    Sammy stripped down to his underwear during KH's encore. Yes, I have video of this, and yes, it will be posted soon.
    Afterwards, there were so many hugs and goodbyes, it was ridiculous.
