It's time to publicly admit it. I fuckin' HATE snow!! Who the fuck invented this shit??? I know it's great for snowboarding, christmas etc. etc. but to be honest it just fuckin sucks as a 'lifestyle' option. I don't even know what most of these cities look like becasue they're smothered in the shit and I'm tired of being cold and wet - FUCK SNOW. As for the rock - well we're in milwaulkee and spend most of the day on the bus hiding from the cold, eating bad food and not talking (Not in a bad way - just a 'So what have you been up to........?' kind of thing.)

The venue tonight is enormous - - Apparently it's design is based on a building in Hamburg and was built by the National socialist Party in the US for when hitler won WWII - Obviously things didn't quite pan out for them and now it's a venue - Weird thing was that while I was showering today I thought it looked like a gas chamber. It has about 4 different clubs ranging from huge to micro - we're in the big one - Fat Joe is upstairs in the huge one befitting his enormous girth.

Show was great - big concrete rooms make drums sound awesome - people drove down from Chicago and they helped get the crowd going hard etc.

Tonight was also the last night with Blindside - I'm going to miss those guys - Of course we have to haze them onstage just to say goodbye and because otherwise people would get the impression that touring is in fact NOT one big frat party on wheels - And that would be very bad.

I'm really digging that 50 cent song 'In tha club' at the moment - it runs 'round me head all day.
