This is beautiful-- absolutely beautiful. It almost makes my insomnia seem worth it at the moment ;)
You never cease to amaze me, Mr. de Torres-- you have more talent than you'll ever know <3

How is it possible that you've managed to make light of an otherwise bittersweet situation? Yet ANOTHER reason for why I'm STILL convinced you are an amazing individual in more ways than you'll ever know.

One of my biggest regrets is that I never got the chance to get out and see Fall Out Boy perform live but I absolutely LOVE hearing about all the great memories you had at FOB shows throughout the years in this blog.

Off to read/comment on the rest of your blogs that I've missed!

I love this because it's SO similar to the way I think sometimes- thoughts swirling around left and right, one thing leading to another. Almost like organized chaos even though I'm sure a lot more thought went into writing this than that. <3

Absolutely beautiful- I don't care if you wrote this at 3AM!
My favourite part is "on thursday i sing silence in a room filled with screams. i am a needle nightmare in a haystack full of diamond shaped dreams."

Excited to hear that you'll be posting on here more often from now on!

Truer words were never spoken- heck, I'm 22 years old and I STILL don't think I've reached the age where I've stopped growing up. You think you have everything figured out and then life comes at you again with another giant curve ball that makes you wonder if you'll ever be 'grown-up' enough to...well...understand everything. But that's sort of getting off topic.

I kept a journal when I was in high school, too. They're definitely fun to read from time to time now that I'm older but I catch myself cringing at some of the stuff I wrote about.- I'm sure you probably cringe at some of your old entries, too though, right?

Rambling is good. I like to ramble, too- which is probably why I feel like I always leave you comments that are WAY too long. Oh well, I figure as a fellow rambler, you'll be able to deal. ;)

I feel like we go through life as kids thinking that someday everything will just click and we'll know the answers to everything and then, as you get older, you realize that day's probably never going to get here.
Perhaps the answer to understanding incomprehensible things that we can't seem to grasp our heads around is to come to terms with the fact that sometimes there ARE no set answers... or maybe this is just me rambling and pulling things out of thin air.

Either way, thanks for the food for thought. :)

Kelly has a point, sex hair IS pretty essential and damn...well... sexxy. haha!

Looking forward to your post about Bryan-- I'm sure I'm not the only one who's more than a little interested to know a bit more about him before you guys kick off your tour!

Can't wait to see you guys play live this Sunday at Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco!- hopefully I'll get the chance to talk to you a bit before or after your set. :)

lots of love,
Pamela

Dear Cash--

I have absolutely NO idea if you read the comments made to your blog but I figured I'd take a shot and post this on here anyway...
I promise there is a point to this rather long letter but I would first like to take the time to introduce myself.

Hello, my name is Pamela and I'm a 21-year-old student currently in my third year in the Journalism program at San Francisco State University.

I've been thinking a lot lately about what aspect of journalism I'd like to go into after I graduate. The truth of the matter is, I’m not exactly sure exactly what I want to do with journalism or where I’d like to work once I graduate but I DO know that my dream is to someday say that I’ve talked with all the people who have inspired or affected my life in some form or another.

As a band, you and the rest of the guys of The Cab are most definitely on that list.
It’s harder than you know to put into words exactly how your band has affected my life, but here is a feeble attempt at doing so:

I remember the first time I listened to ‘Whisper War’ in my car right after my brother picked it up at Best Buy and told me I HAD to listen to this band he’d heard on myspace awhile back with killer vocals and guitar riffs. I was instantly blown away by a band I’d never heard of from Las Vegas who had managed to create a debut album with a sound that was all their own and where no one song on the CD sounded the same. – I found myself making excuses to drive around aimlessly in my car just so I could crank up the volume and be completely absorbed in songs like ‘Bounce’, ‘Take My Hand’ or ‘Can You Keep A Secret?’
This brings me to the reason I’m writing this letter to all of you:

I’m writing to you to ask if there is any possible way you could spare a bit of your time while you’re here in San Francisco for the June 21st ‘What Happens In Vegas…’ show date at Café Du Nord and allow me the chance to interview you.

I’m sure you guys probably get requests like this all the time, and I understand that you guys are probably on a tight schedule, but even if all you could spare was 5 minutes to meet with me, I would be eternally grateful.
The opportunity to interview one, a few, or all of you regarding your music would mean the world to me both as an aspiring journalist and someone who admires you all for all your talent and the dedication you put into your music.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for considering to meet with me.

Looking forward to possibly speaking with you guys on or around June 21st and of course, I can’t wait to watch you all perform live in a few weeks!

Take care and I hope to hear back from you soon!

Sincerely,

Pamela Gocobachi
pgocobachi@gmail.com

PS: I apologize in advance if you’ve read this somewhere else before—I figured the best way to ensure at least one of you read this before June 21st would be to post/send it to as many places as I could think of in the hopes that one of you would see it and respond!

Dear Alex--

I've heard you mention countless times that you read each and every reply written to you so I'm hoping that by some miracle, even though this entry is 10 days old, you'll read this and hopefully respond back...

Re: TUESDAY @TWEETS V - That "V" is Roman numerals for the number five. You already knew that, but I was simply amusing myself with the unnecessary (and also rather obnoxious) length of this ...

I read my brother the bald man question and he looked at me for a moment before going, "Duh, Pam!- they'd just use the color of his eyebrows which, I guess would technically be the color his hair was naturally before he went bald..."
I gotta say though, getting a logical answer to an absurd question kind of takes away from its hilarity, don't you think? :/

Seriously though, how long can you really stay mad at Mr. Charlie with a face as adorable as that?

By the way... Is Charlie a Boston terrier?
Strange coincidence if he is since a friend of mine has a Boston terrier also named Charlie...

I think it's cool your school offered Japanese-- they didn't offer anything but Spanish and French back when I was in high scool.

Too bad you don't remember much-- perhaps I should start responding to your blog posts in Spanish in the spirit of giving you a refresher...?

Espero que estes pasando buen tiempo en Seattle con tus amigos y familia !

(Ok, maybe the Spanish was a bad idea-- I can speak it fluently but I've forgotten that I'm shit at writing it!)
Take care!

Hmm... Now I'm wondering if you would speak french with an australian accent, you know, if you ever learned how... Might be an interesting combination, haha!

DO you speak any other languages?

Really wish I could watch this but the internet's down at my house and I guess the video isn't compatible with my iPhone because all I see is a blue cube that looks strangely like a Lego with a question mark on all sides-- so sad! :(

Ah well, guess I'll have to come back and watch on my computer later- from what I see in the comments, your dog sounds adorable!

Take care!

Touring the country means you guys get the opportunity to visit dozens of amazing and interesting cities-- what's the one city you thoroughly enjoyed stopping in on any of the tours you guys have done but wished you'd had more time to explore and why?

Re: MARTIN SAYS - Pre-sale information coming tomorrow.

Ruby_Slippers — Tue, 12 May 2009 03:12:25 -0000

OHMYGOD. You're going to make me get up super early and get in line at Marine World on July 2nd and pray to GOD I get there early enough to get one of those special wrist bands so I can go in and see you play, aren't you??

I'm going to start praying to the powers that be now that this all works out and I end up getting in...

Re: home is what you make it.

Ruby_Slippers — Tue, 12 May 2009 03:00:37 -0000

Reading this blog post from you makes me all the more excited to be seeing you guys on the 'What Happens In Vegas' tour when you finally make it to San Francisco.

You and the rest of the Cab are easily over a thousand different kinds of amazing and you deserve all the success that comes both with headlining your first tour AND with whatever projects, musical or not you all endeavor to be apart of.

Take care, lots of love, and here's hoping I'll get to meet you in person at Cafe Du Nord on June 21st! :)

Re: The Gavin Phillips Blog - …just desert!!! been driving for soooo...

Ruby_Slippers — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:52:50 -0000

Ok, I have been copy editing my OWN article for so long that when I finally took a break to come read your new blog post, I read 'desert' as 'dessert' -- like, in my head I was going "Well, maybe they stopped to grab something to eat and Gavin ended up ordering dessert instead of actual food...?"

Can't wait to see the new video for LetDown! :)

Re: Dan Young's Blog

Ruby_Slippers — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:02:14 -0000

I know you've basically just said it's sort of boring but I've always sort of wanted to drive cross country just to say I have-- you know, do the whole Route 66 thing?

Anyway, looks like it's a pretty nice day wherever you were when this picture was taken-- actually, this kind of looks like parts of I-5 when you're driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Have fun in the Q&A section-- I'm sure that'll keep you entertained for a couple of hours!

Re: Interesting Question.

Ruby_Slippers — Tue, 12 May 2009 01:38:51 -0000

Good question and a good answer as well!

By the way, we're learning to use flash in order to make some fancy slide show type things for journalism class and I'm totally using 'Keeping On Without You' for my final project.
This means if I get an A, I am totally accrediting all my success to you guys! ;-)

Oh, and by the way, sort-of in response to the comment of whether or not 'Who Are You Now' is selling well... because I stupidly didn't buy the CD at your Cafe du Nord concert, I ended up having to go to 5 different stores (all of whom had had copies but sold out) before FINALLY finding a copy at Borders. I don't know if that's a good sign or just bad luck on my part but I figured it'd be kind of fun to share anyway!

Ruby_Slippers — Mon, 11 May 2009 03:06:40 -0000

The first band that ever made me feel passionate about every part of music from the way it sounded coming through my headphones to the lyrics that were being sung would have to be Brand New.

I remember getting their first CD from a friend for my 15th birthday back in '02 who said I just HAD to listen to them. I remember being mesmerized both by Jesse Lacey's vocals and by lyrics like "cuz her lips taste like a loaded gun and I'm the number one chalk outline on the floor."
I remember being amazed at the fact that there were artists out there who wrote, produced and performed their own songs. That is the first recollection I have of being thoroughly impressed by an artist, if that makes any sense at all.

First band I saw live was *Nsync when I was in middle school-- remember, you promised not to judge!
What can I say? I'm a child of the days when TRL was hosted by Carson Daly and boy bands/ Britney/ Christina topped the top 10 countdowns-- going through that teeny bopper phase was practically inevitable, haha! ;-)

Re: Q & A

Ruby_Slippers — Sun, 10 May 2009 03:03:00 -0000

Oh, WOW! You remember! :)

Honestly, that whole night is embarrassingly fuzzier than I wish it were due to the fact that it was St Patrick's day-- I remember TELLING you you shouldn't use that phrase and you thinking that it was a pretty stupid rule but in my er...state, I think I did a shit job at explaining the reasoning behind it. Oh well!

It IS kind of one of those stupid rules that's just stuck around for ages but even so, it MIGHT end up being useful knowledge SOMEDAY, haha!

In any case, I hope you DO get to spend some more time here in San Francisco next time around and hey, if you and the guys are ever in need of someone to show you around... ;)

Ok, I'll stop taking up space in your comments section now-- see you on August 20th for Warped!

Ruby_Slippers — Sun, 10 May 2009 01:06:45 -0000

Hey Dan!

Loved the answer you posted to my first question-- especially the part about San Francisco! ;-)
And SPEAKING of San Francisco... do you by any chance remember me telling you about what a majority of San Franciscans think of the use of the name 'San Fran' at Cafe Du Nord...?
(By the way, the only reason I ask is because I'm genuinely curious about whether or not you remember having that conversation at all-- I promise I'm in NO WAY bringing this up as a roundabout way of trying to correct your use of the name!)

The fact that your favorite word is dude makes me laugh in a good way because I use that word along with 'awesome' arguably way too much. I hear that's pretty normal considering I was born and raised in California but I don't know if I buy that, haha!-- honestly I like your reasoning better-- 'dude!' IS a pretty fun word to say!

Take care and thanks for the answers to my questions! :)

~Pamela

Re: Q & A

Ruby_Slippers — Fri, 08 May 2009 22:15:08 -0000

Can I ask you two questions...?

Touring means you guys get the opportunity to visit tons of different and amazing cities-- what's the one city you thoroughly enjoyed stopping in on tour but wished you'd had more time to explore? Why?

What's your favorite word in the English language and why?

Look forward to hearing your response!
