HEYYY THEREEE KIDDOS!!!
Yesterday was fabulous - My best friend Andria was in town on a day off from the Take Action! Tour .. so I went to meet up with her which was so much fun because I hadnt seen her since the end of January. We just went to the mall & movies (saw premonition...pretty good!! go see it) and I met a few of Andrias tour mates from A Static Lullaby and Emery at the mall and the hotel so that was cool. BUT NO DAN FURY!! pshh.
So Andria left around noon to Poughkeepsie ..It was pretty sad seeing her tour bus drive off without me haha.
Anyways, these last few days I have just been hangin with Scan, Nu Tren & Tawny .. and doing some video chats with Joey and Monet while they are in CT without us!! We will be joining them tomorrow though thankfully!! :)
Shows coming up..
3/21 - Westfield Mall in Meriden, CT @ 5:30pm
3/22 - Burlington Mall in Burlington, MA @ 5:30pm
3/23 - McKinley Mall in Buffalo, NY @ 5:30pm
After these shows a few of us will head back to Albany until the next couple of shows coming up.
I will try to keep you all posted this week in between shows and stuff. Talk to you later and SEE SOME OF YOU SOON!! :)

The Mypop8 tour has officially started. 3 shows down - many many more to go. I am currently in Nyack, NY - we just got back from the cheescake factory where our whole crew had a big dinner and everyone was getting to know eachother more. It was definitley a lot of fun and everyone is getting along just great.
So even though the first show was yesterday we had a rehearsal for the artists on tuesday night - it was Bre, Nu-Tren, Scandalez and Playback .. Joey Page couldnt make it but we saw him the next day.
The first show was in Jersey City, NJ and it went over pretty well. Not horrible for a first show.
All of the acts listed above were there along with our opener Daniel Ferrari (he's great find him on myspace!).
My good friend Meg came to visit me for a bit which was exciting because I hadnt seen her in awhile.
(lol she did not want to be in the pic but she really did come and we got some amazing gloria jeans coffee)
OVERALL - I personally think the first show went well but nothing exciting happened.
(frazier and dutch setting up)
later that night we had a show at a hookah bar, things ran a bit late ..but we got the venue it was pretty cool everyone just did a short set but it was fun I guess. After that was over I have to say I was pretty exhausted but..day one was good.
DAY TWOOOOO
Palisades mall.....HUGGGE. 4 floors .. bowling alley, imax theatre, ferris wheel, ice skating rink....crazyness. The FYE was huge too - great show. Tawny and Raposo joined us today.
Bre Performing
Joey Page performing...hes so much fun and I love his dancers (jojo and britney, brittney, brittany - i dunno how its spelled haha)
Raposo performing
tour crew hangin out..signing autographs..
Great show, everything sounded pretty good. I had to have a few energy drinks to keep myself awake. But like I said we all went out to dinner together and that was a lot of fun. :)
OH -- and I got the SK3 today! YAY :)
Off until the 14th .. Monet Joins us next week!
I will try to update again soon .. sorry this isnt the best run down of the events but I am crazy tired.
Until next time..

Its been awhile since I've used this journal but I am going to try and update it more often now. Since my last entry which was filled with Kristy Frank tour dates .. that tour never happened but I ended up going on another one in which I met some of the most amazing people.
It was called the Saints & Sinners tour - it was a promotional tour for Coed Magazine and mycollegedaily.com .. our nights consisted of events at bars or frat houses. We would have shows SOMETIMES with Collie Buddz and Displaced.
I went to a lot of different places that I had never been before - Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and of course a bunch of east coast areas like PA, NY, MA etc.
I got to experience it all with my best friend Andria - who is now out on the Take Action! tour (go see her, theres about a month left of shows). It was a crazy tour, there was a lot of money put into it for really no reason .. but throughout all of the crappy times there were mostly great times. It was also my first bus tour - pretty sweet. :)
You can check out pics here: http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/wickedfreakincool/saints%20and%20sinners%20tour/
NEXT UP:
I am heading out on a tour called MYPOP8. It features a lot of up and coming acts and the shows are primarily at malls but we do have some venue shows. I am the TOUR MANAGER for this one .. pretty darn excited. I'll be going all over the east coast, down south and out west .. I have never been to the west coast so I cant wait to get out there and see some friends and check out the area.
I leave on monday for that, I still havent packed yet ..I just hope I'm ready. I'll be gone for almost 3 months. How crazy is that? I will then be home for a month and then I head back out for Camplified this summer. I love it. :) BUSY BUSY BUSY!!

helloooooo...
i am at camp echo right now, in the nice air conditioned office.
the tour is going amazingly -- everyone is great and we all work really well together.
danny is back, he's had his surgery and is now crutching around with us. what a guy!
all of the bands are awesome, everyone loves violet nine .. they are definitley the collective favorite. such cool guys too. they are actually done with the tour on thursday -- so that will be pretty sad to see them go! but they are boston boys so i know i will be seeing them around..
jesse labelle joined us last week ..he's playing acoustic on the tour but his voice is amazing and he always puts on a good show. he's always got some great cover songs to keep the crowd into it. add him on myspace .. check out his sweet tunes :)
http://www.myspace.com/jesselabelle
yesterday at camp tioga kristy (frank) shot the rest of her music video for "girls like me" .. i think its going to come out awesome! they have pretty much been shooting a lot of performance scenes, and other random stuff since thursday but they brought in a stand in band for the real band performance shots.
also kristys debut album entitled FREEDOM came out last week .. july 18 .. so go buy it! its availible on itunes, amazon.com and most local music stores .. but if you dont see it in there make sure you ask them to order it. it really is a great cd! we went out the night of the release date which was really fun .. had a great dinner and watched superman returns at the theatre (verrrry small too) next to our motel.
it was a really weird town (hancock, ny) .. we got great cell service but no internet or sidekick service. it felt like a week or more without being connected but it was actually only a couple of days. i actually think we are going back to that town soon too.
last week we went to a couple of GREAT camps! Hilltop was on wednesday .. they had tons of signs for al of the artists and even knew the words to some of the songs! they really outdid every other camp we have been to ... an their staff was great. they definitley took care of us .. and there were ALPACAS, cant leave those out!!
thursday we went to indian head, another camp we visited last yr ..they had this really cool movie room that was airconditioned and i got to see the beginnings of 3 movies. it was nice to relax a bit because it was really hot out! (well, when has it not?).
we've got a day off tomorrow ..we might go bowling or to a movie. who knows. oh yeah - i finally got BAJA BLAST today! YESS :)

So after a crazy weekend in NY with some friends I hadnt seen in a long time .. I headed out last night for the first show of the Camlified Tour (which was today). We stayed in NJ .. we met up with Scarletts Web for dinner and that was pretty much it for the night.
Today was a verryyyy early day .. The shiw went OK though. I am in love with Faces Without Names .. I just love their music.
http://www.myspace.com/faceswithoutnames
The other bands were definitley great as well in their own ways, and the kids were awesome today ... atlough it was really hot everyone stayed happy throughout the day. We have a sponsor called VERB .. Sandy and Warren are on that team and theyre pretty cool. They do a great job with the kids and have some cool prizes so its good we've got that with us.
Tomorrow Violet Nine joins the tour, im excited to see them because they're from Boston aka my 2nd home.
Well .. I dont often get internet but Ill check back soon!

Andria heads out for the warped tour next week - she'll be the one with ramen noodle hair at the TAKE ACTION booth. Make sure to say hello!
Hot Vibes will still be online this summer, so make sure to keep visiting. http://www.hotvibes.com
Just found out about this book called Rising Star, definitley worth checking out ..
At 16 years old, Cari Gelber got her start promoting rock bands and shows in NYC. Ten years later, after co-founding Decent Xposure, a music promotion company, and managing Cincinnati-based band Oval Opus, Cari has written a teen fiction novel loosely based on her experience as a woman in the male-dominated music industry. The result Rising Star, the story of 16-year-old Manhattanite Nikki Bellinger who wants it all, and doesn't want to wait until after school lets out to have it.
www.risingstarbook.com
it's out now .. buy it!

I'm so excited! I'm going to be seeing my good friend Nikki and her mom next month! YAYY - Not sure what they're doing over this way yet but they wanna meet up! Can't wait :)
You can check out Nikki's tunes at her myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/nikkiflores
:)
Last week I finally got to see Jason Mraz LIVE! It was awesome, and he is amazing. I dont know how I went so long without seeing him, but I'm glad it finally happened. He had some great stories, that always makes the show that much more enjoyable. Big City Rock opened, we were supposed to do photos with them .. but that ended up not exactly working out. But we did end up getting one good one - so if you wanna see it head on over to the hot vibes myspace - http://www.myspace.com/hotvibesmagazine
It was really cool seeing those guys again, I'm glad we went. And it was at the Foxwoods Casino .. it was pretty cool, I'd never been there before.
It was announced a couple days ago that their tour manager dave (tastic) will no longer be with them, it sucks .. he's such a cool guy but hopefully he'll continue touring and stuff. :)
It was also KISS CONCERT WEEKEND last weekend, although I didn't go to the actual show it was still a lot of fun. I went to the pre part with Ashley, Andria and Ashley's friend Aimee .. it was definitley interesting. We saw Beth - love her! And randomly David from Fricken A', he remebered us which was really cool, so it was fun seeing him again. He was with the band Saving Jane - they used to be on the same label, he introduced us to the lead singer which was cool. Mario Vazquez was also there, we met him that morning (very early) at the matty idol event ..he was so nice, and was just the same when we met him that night. Ashley Parker Angel was there, he performed 2 songs .. it was cool meeting him as well. A professional photographer took our photo so hopefully I'll be getting a copy soon.
The next night we headed back into Boston to see David and the saving jane band, they were pretty cool .. and handsome joe is outta control! ahaa.
It's almost summer, which means time for TOURING! woooo I'm pretty pumped
I'll be gone from July 2 to about August 20 - and I'll be on Camplified again (http://www.myspace.com/camplified or http://www.camplified.com)
I'll post the dates soon, I want some visitors!! It will be lonely without a friend, I know one person on the tour this year .. not sure who else will be on it with me yet.
OHHHH yeah and if anyone wants to see pix from my weekend head on over to my myspace :) http://www.myspace.com/wickedawesome

Crazy! After 5 years .. Andria & I decided to open Hot Vibes to others. We really do need some help with interviews & such since we're both involved in other things but I want HV to keep going for as long as we can make it! We got an overwhelming amount of entries, so it's going to be hard to narrow down.
Also, I won tix to see Fefe Dobson tomorrow. She's def one of my fav singers .. so I can't wait! It's at a radio station so it's probably going to be a short performance and meet and greet. Should be fun. I'll definitley post pics & such from that .. along with stuff from the show i'm going to on saturday with Jillian Wheeler and B5 at six flags!
