Canada, Air Horns, and the Beermuda Triangle: #MerchMaddieGetsGooey Week 2

Canada, Air Horns, and the Beermuda Triangle: #MerchMaddieGetsGooey Week 2

When I last left you, we were headed across the border to Toronto, our first of two shows in Canada. If you’ve ever traveled, you understand that border crossings can be tedious and exaggerated, but let me tell you, crossing a border with a band is a whole ‘nother animal.

#MerchMaddieGetsGooey: On The Road With Glass Animals

It’s Saturday night in a drizzly Ithaca, NY, and I’m the only person sitting on our Prevost bus, waiting for the rest of the crew to return from a bar before we make our way north into Canada for a show in Toronto. Today marks show 7 of the Glass Animals Fall North American Tour, and what a whirlwind seven days it’s been! It feels like we’ve been out forever, but it’s hardly been a week.

A Day in the Life of Warped: Mini Update #7

A Day in the Life of Warped: Mini Update #7

I thought it might be time for me to do a small "Day In the Life" so that during this 10-day run without a day off (read: blogging). Every person's day runs a little differently than the next out at Warped Tour. The way I see it, there are five different basic groups of people on Warped: Production team, stage crew, artist team/merchies, non-profits, and artists themselves.

Mid-WARPED in the Midwest: Warped Update #6

Mid-WARPED in the Midwest: Warped Update #6

Hey friends, happy Monday! Today I write you from a bottom bunk on the bus of Denver friends Air Dubai. I've known (and occasionally worked for) this band over the past 7 years, so having them out on warped as well has been a true joy. Today is our second to last off-day of tour, and the IFD crew has chosen to head back to Chicago to enjoy a bit more downtime at home. Since I wouldn't have the same luxury of going home or spending time with friends and family like they all do, I chose to jump ship for the day to spend some time with these guys in Indianapolis, IN instead.
