Everyone's day was much better. Not that the Phoenix crowd wasn't great, but the weather in New Mexico breathed life back into all of us. Pit blog update is ready to go.

After yesterday's heat, we needed a day like today. Nice breeze, good tunes- everyone was in a much better mood. I was worried considering New Mexico is basically a desert, but there was grass! The entire venue was actually green. Very nice change after Phoenix. The water I drank I actually peed! It wasn't completely absorbed by my body like yesterday.

Hot hot hot hot hot hot. What an understatement. 110 degree weather? All on asphalt? I know those pits got unbearable, but Phoenix did a good job at keeping it together. There weren't many sunburns either. I could think that maybe it's because you are used to this crazy weather, but I'm going to pretend that my survival guide got through to you.

At the Tri-City Bowl outside of Phoenix, Warped Tour teamed up with the T. J. Martell Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises money towards cancer research, to present a charity bowling event where fans could play with bands.

Still getting a game plan worked out for the rest of the tour. Today has been going a little smoother. Found out of you go to the Vans tent when doors open, for only $2 you can buy a schedule with the set times, signing times and a map of the venue. They'll hook me up in the morning so I can get a head start on giving you guys the DL on signings.

I survived my first bus ride- after getting way too car sick for my own good. At one point a Sumner, a bus buddy closed my laptop and made me lay down. I'm going to work out a better system to get info to you every night. Though I can't make promises, that's the goal.
