it was the end

hey kids whats crankin' off? Everyone in our camp is doing very well. Sorry we havent been keeping up with the journals we have been keeping extremely busy playing crazy shows every day. Now that i have a minuete i will tell you whats been going on with us!
well, we just ended the jim beam tour with trapt and 3 days grace. i already miss hanging out with everyone. we were really fortunate to tour with 2 great bands that ended up being really cool people. if you didnt know 3days grace is a kick ass band from toronto and they are great friends of ours. it was a privlage touring with them for 6 weeks it made me want to practice and play extra hard! we played the norvo theatre in norfolk va. It was our last show with trapt and we toured with those motherfuckers for fucking ever(4 1/2 months
) usually when bands tour for a while on the last show they usually play practical jokes on each other. So when we were on stage about to play bottom of a bottle trapt and their crew came on stage and silly stringed the fuck out of us. it was the second biggest mess( the biggest was later...)i had ever seen in my life. Multi colored string everywhere all over dereks drums, my bass, my hair, seans guitar. it was a pain to clean up but we got them back even better. when they(trapt) started playing headstrong we threw wads of wet toilet paper from side stage at the band. after that we each went on stage wih 1 pound of flour. we antiqued the shit out of trapt on stage
i threw flour all over pete the bass player and simon the guitarist. it was fucking money...so money. anywho, it was great touring with trapt for that long. we all got to know each other really well and they are some the coolest guys i have met on the road. That goes for the 3 other bands we toured with Seether, steriogram, and 3days grace. well i gotta go do a sound check. i will try and do more journal entries. and i will try to read all your responses but its really hard cause there are alot.

Posted by: Cristina on September 21, 2003 05:16 PM

[hey guys, this is kinda long =)]Well to start off..i am a really big fan of your group..me and my best friend actually.. it all started when we were listenin to the radio trying to find some kick ass rock songs to listen to and write down to check out..and we heard "bottom of a bottle" and we just loved it.. we sang it the whole night and downloaded it the next day at my house. We listened to it over and over and over. That was like our "theme" song because it hit us so deeply, like it was written about us. You guys know how to write truthful lyrics. SO after that, we looked to see if you had anymore songs, which we didnt want to rip you guys off and dl all your songs and not buy the album.(which i do have the album now and it is like my music bible, hehe) But we found songs, dl them all, and let me tell you they are the best songs i have ever heard, truthfully. They are like so true, it's like everyone can relate to them. So we heard in August, a couple days before i had to go home to SC (i was visitin my dad in Ohio) that you were playing at the Agora staduim and i swear we could not stop talking about it. We printed out the flyer and we like carried it everywhere, bragging about gettin to go to yalls concert. Well somethin fucked up happened.. i had to leave Ohio early because of my damn school ID crisis (turns out i didnt NEED to come home early, my school was just being difficult like always) so i had to miss the concert, and i was truly heartbroken because we really wanted to see it along with trapt and 3 days grace (yall are all my fav bands) so now i still have that empty feeling of me missing out on the best day of my life..seeing yall, my all time fav band. But HOPEFULLY i will get to sneak to Myrtle Beach on the 18th of October to see yall play with Fuel. I love you guys(as possible as it is to "love" someone you don't know)..i feel almost like i know all of you. Well good luck with all of the tours and everything and KICK SOME ASS!! I would love it if i could be a "roadie" and be one of those girls that travel with yall and stuff like that, but you prolly have millions of girls with those kinda requests, so what makes me any diff? =) Well i will be reading the journal everyday now, and ill be religiously adding notes =) --Jessie--

Posted by: Jessica on September 21, 2003 06:08 PM

hey...u guys r so freakin awesome...and i was wonderin when u r coming back to Louisville, Ky...i know u were here with staind and cold for the Walrus Fest...but we couldn't get enough of u guys...u all rocked!!!!! take care, be safe on the road, and come see us in Kentucky!!!!

Posted by: Tiffany on September 21, 2003 09:10 PM

DAMN I FuCkING MISSED THAT. Lucky you...got to play with flour. Plus...it was with TRAPT! Damn, I enjoy being covered in Flour. It's damn fun when you know how to play. WELL I HOPE TO SEE YOU AS SOON AS YOU COME BACK TO MA. And next time...it's not on a Tuesday...so no damn Stripper girls...which was fun to listen to.

Your cd is fuckin more than I can say on this little screen. I love the sound and the lyrics. I hardly find a cd that I can sit and listen to over time and time again. I'm from Idaho and I know Boise isn't much compared to most cities out there, but we love our music and the bands that produce it. I would love to see you guys in concert because I read what you tell us and I would love to experience you people and your music right in front of my eyes. The way I put that sounds really stupid, but hey thats how I feel. So come check out our little spot!

Posted by: Stephanie on September 22, 2003 05:38 AM

Hi guys. I'm not trying to be like anybody else and tell you that your cd rocked, but I really do think that it is great. The second I heard your song "Bottom of a Bottle", I was hooked and bought your cd immediately. Usually, I'm not one to become a proud supporter of the bands that I like, but you guys are different. Your music hits a spot because it is so true. I really do wish you guys the best of luck and hope to meet and see you guys in concert one day. If i had've known that you guys were performing at point fest in St. Louis, I definitely would've gone to it. But I will make sure i'm at the next one. I really do think you guys are great and that you are going to go somewhere. I've never called myself a fan, but in your case I am. Your music hit home with me and I really support you guys. All of your songs are true and wise. Keep it up and come back with some more songs. I'll definitely be on the look out for your next cd. I'm also going to try and see if i can go to your concert with fuel in chicago,IL just how since i'm in St. Louis will see. But I really do think you guys are great. I've became a member of your street team and hope to see you guys soon. Now I can say it......You guys rock. ~Your True Fan~ **Ijeoma**
p.s. If you guys get a chance could you e-mail me. I'm not sure if you'll get to this, but if so it would mean a lot to me.

Posted by: Ijeoma (Sweetness4ses) on September 22, 2003 07:58 AM

SEAN DANIELSEN YOU ARE FUCKING HOT AS HELL...... I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Amber Kieck on September 22, 2003 01:35 PM

Hey I saw you guys at Buzzfest in TN and ever since, you have been my favorite band. You all should tour with Trust Company because that would be probly one of the most kick ass concerts. Also, PLEASE come back to Nashville or Franklin, TN. Also, try to play somewhere INdoors bc the Ampitheater sucks and indoor concert... The crowd goes apeshit!

If you write me I'll tell you about some REALLY cool shit I have seen here, it would probly make you want to play here.

Posted by: Kyle King on September 22, 2003 06:22 PM

Hey! you guys rock! I saw you guys in Dayton at X-Fest 2k3! Crazy shit....I had never been to a concert like that before so, I got the shit kicked out of me, but it was worth it. And the few hour line wait at the autograph booth was worth it meet all of you. And, Derek is hott! ;-)

Posted by: Janelle on September 22, 2003 07:15 PM

Hey i love u guys i think u r the best band ever my friends have never heard of u but i got them hooked on u to when u were in michigan i didnt get to cmoe c u I wante to so bad but i didnt know about the concert until the day of but i hope to c ya the next time u come around ne ways i love u guys & ur the best [=

Posted by: ShyTears2Cry on September 22, 2003 08:45 PM

Your tour with 3DG was SOOOO Money to put it in Ryan's words. Just saw you guys at EdgeFest in Phoenix, AZ. You rock my world! Thanks for a great set, and sorry you were so early on the show...right were it was a billion degrees on stage. Can't wait till Oct. 5th when you guys come again with Fuel to Nita's Hideaway! Thanks for signing my shirt and giving me bragging rights over all my SES-fan friends!

I just recently got your CD... i hadnt heard of you guys before i picked it up, but you guys rock hardcore. I've been playing your CD non stop for three days now. I love "On the other side"... as well as the rest of your songs... and i've had "I want my life" on repeat for the last hour or so.

Are you guys ever coming out to Colorado... the denver/boulder area... because i would love to see you guys live. Just curious, where did you come up with the band name? It's fucking brilliant!! Keep rocking it hard!!

I went to see Seether and Trapt at Bogarts in cinci and when we got there you guys had just started playing. I looked over at my buddy Mike and was like who the fuck are these guys? You totally blew me away. I am a very picky person and i thought your sound was totally unique. I really felt the music and the intensity. You have become one of my new fav bands along with your friends 3 Days Grace. I also got the luxury of seeing your show at X-fest in Dayton Ohio. So glad they added you guys to the list there. That show was the bomb. Please email me if you get a chance i would love to know that you guys do keep it real and enjoy fans because i am a huge one!! Later guys

Hey whats up. This goes out to sean and ryan. Right when your album came out like near June, you guys played at Springfield, IL. You guys opened for seether and Trapt as newcomers. No one knew your lyrics except two kids wild up and ready for ya. One with long blonde hair who yelled your lyrics and names & talked to ya after the concert. THis is that kid if you remember man. You guys still kick ass and i love ya. Im going to your show any time you come back in illinois.

Posted by: Ashlie on September 27, 2003 07:37 PM

Hey you guys rock!! I love you so much! I have your CD, and you have a great voice, now I wish I could see you in concert. I bought tickets for one where you came to Chicago with Trapt and Seether at the Metro, but they wouldn't let me in because I wasn't 18 and I had my mom with me!!!! So that sucked. Now I just turned 17. Can't wait till you guys come again. Holler at me when you do!! <3<3<3

Whats up boys? Hope you are all doing good. Ry Ry you missed it last night @ the casa. Mary looked so cute all crashed out on my bed. I think we partied like rock stars last night... HA HA HA yeah right. Well I plan to come to some shows this week just cant figure out which ones yet. Ya know I gots ta b working. Tell Sean Sean to get with the times and write some ish on the web site. Come on Ry Ry teach him like you did for Der. ****Whats up Der I miss you kiddo, Hope you are having lots of fun. I miss you man. & you should call B if you get a chance...Ya know fat boy....Well its about that time to call it a night. I got the pictures back from the Vegas show they are pretty cute. I have black mail pictures of the guys from trapt...some of the guys from Trapt. NIGHT NIGHT love you guyz. BE GOOD>>>>>HO!

Posted by: Kristynn C on September 29, 2003 07:05 AM

hey guyz, i was stoked to catch you at the sick locobazooka show in the boston area yesterday. i was right up front, which was a lively battle in itself. thought i'd catch you backstage to say hi, but didn't get around to it. you and every band there rocked it hard in the rain. your lyrics definitely intrigue me. i haven't had a chance to read through the whole site, but WHO WRITES THE LYRICS?

it was sad to hear the green young, young boys next to me screaming "f--k the church" (with a hesitance in their voice waiting for the approval of the crowd) when you were talking about "every sunday" and calling girls ugly -- thinking they were cool. wish i opened my mouth, but i let the kids be kids (and i respect my children's wishes and right to be free -- but i also teach them respect and love for people as hard as that may be today) -- maybe too many parents are letting their kids do their own thing and no one seems to have respect for each other anymore. ironically, being insulting makes them feel good about themselves :( --

i definitely could relate to your feelings on lyrics for 'every sunday' and the hypocracy of it all -- but all us catholics aren't bad people... that's exactly the way it was planned to be.. a breakdown in the church and everyone turns to the evil side. it's sad watching it happen.

your presence and words strongly influence everyone. young and old. i'm obviously old and have been there / done that. and i'm done with the false sense of security of the evil drugs of the world haha. music is still my drug. your songs make me realize how hard it is for you guys these days and all i have to say now is God bless you all! Fans and bands! Feel free to write me hate mail now... or for any other reason. Sorry so long!

Posted by: Ally on September 30, 2003 09:20 PM

So it wsa COLD and Rainy at LOCOBAZOOKA. But you know that chick said I was cold and that's why I was shaking. My friend behind me knew I wasn't shaking of coldness. She pretty much dragged me in line to meet you guys. GOD you all are sooooo nice. I was gunna ask you to sign my pants but you signed my white shirt anyways. I wish I had a camera and could get a hug *I really needed one, I was shaking of scaredness* I was gunna faint in line. I also wanted to give you my Madi Gras (Fat Tuesday *French Class helped*) beads. But I was sooooo scared I couldn't do it. You rocked the place, and it was a night/day I will (Hopefull) will never FORGET.

Thanks for being there and at least playing more than THREE SONGS, still could've played "Eraser" and stuff lol. I am lookin' foward to BEING ABLE TO SEE YOU ON THE 23. I'LL MISS YOU GUYS, You ALLL LOOOOKED VERY HOTT. I HATE TO FAVOR PEOPLE. If I make a comment about a band memeber and forget the others, MIGHT AS WELL HATE THE WHOLE BAND. I mean THANKS again, I hope I was no trouble being that damn shaking kidd

God it was a horrible day, but you made the best of it, thanks again.

My love to you, my Blessings your heart,
Love,
The Violently shaking girl with the LOCOBAZOOKA SHIRT on. Her name is ANDREA or ANDI

Hey guys it's Carina and Nicole the one's with the custom made wifebeaters at SF show. The show was awsome - you guys did great - as always!It was cool hanging with you guys after the show on your new tour bus. Hey Ryan and Cody don't forget to visit Applebee's on your way to Juice Stop! How are the new shoes Derek? - hopefully they're good for when you run. Can't wait to see you guys again either in Frisco or SCV. Hopefully we can hang out again soon - good luck with the rest of the tour and in New Orleans! If you get the chance e-mail us sometime and let us know how you guys are doing. =)

I know there's already a zillion of these messages..... BUT... I love your music. Your lyrics hit home and make a lot of valid points about major issues that are ignored by society. You have a great sound that can't be compared to anything else. I hope you guys stick around and keep making music. I recommend your music to everyone. Thanks for making my world a better sounding place. :)

Posted by: Nicole Brown on October 2, 2003 09:08 PM

Posted by: cassie on October 3, 2003 04:20 PM

First off, you guys are cool as shit for having your site done the way it is...ie the journals are cool cuz you seem like you really care about your fans. If you answer them, you are very unique, which is a major plus. You all seem very cool and down-to-earth. Secondly, your music is great. I love Silhouettes...that song really hits a chord with me partly because that's a lot of how my family is. Anyways, great site, great music, cool people...you guys rock ass. Keep it up! *hugznkisses* from your Texas sweetheart! (Yeah, I know, corny, but that's what everyone else calls me. LOL!)

Posted by: Tiffany on October 3, 2003 04:59 PM

I love you guys!!You are awesome! I got a pic with you guys and your autographs. Thank you soooo much.I got them hung and framed on my wall!!Whats up with Sean? How come he doesnt write in the diary or anything?? He doesnt seem to enjoy touring and all that.I think you guys are awesome.I can really relate to almost all your lyrics.I cant wait for another cd to come out.I hope you guys read this. Your band is the shit!!WE LOVE U!!

hey all! ehe yah hosers! you guys kick big fat arse. we're going to your concert in minneapolis with fuel. we are soooooooo excited, can not wait. you guys should get us backstage, that would rock. we'd luv you even more than we do now! don't take us for some creepy fans that stalk you and stuff though...thats not really our scene. yah, i have a question (its okay if you don't get back to us a.s.a.p., you guys have alot of emails!) first of all, do you really read all of these emails, that would get pretty boring after awhile? second of all, are you guys playing alot of songs, cause we're basically going to that concert for you guys, and on the tickets it says "with speacial guests smile empty soul." what does that mean? anyways, well bye!

Posted by: lora and emma! on October 4, 2003 06:07 PM

I am definitely looking forward to seeing you in detroit on the 26th. See ya then.

Posted by: Ryan on October 4, 2003 08:07 PM

Hey... I have been trying to figure out how to contact Derek... i dunno if he would even remember me, my name is Julie Etie and i haven't talked to him since i moved to Texas 2 years ago. I found out through Rob Emmons when you guys got signed... anyway... Congrats on everything... and I say Hey to Derek and I miss him and hope he remembers me... BUHBYESIES!

My sister saw you guys in concert in Chicago and she said it was amazing. We just went out and bought your CD and it is the best CD I own. My favorite song has got to be "This is War" because my best friend is in Iraq right now and everything you said in the song was true. I sent him the song and he loves it just as much as I do. His whole troop listens to it all the time now.

Posted by: Kristine on October 8, 2003 12:12 AM

I seriously LOVE your music! I DO IT FOR THE DRUGS!!! lol, no, I serioulsy love it. You guys aren't like many bands, I mean, your music can either make people really happy, or really angry. And its not the kind of music where you can like some songs and not others. its either you love it or you don't. personally, I tell my friends to listen to you guys CUZ YOU ALL ROCK! rock on 4 ever, and always! I love you guys!

Posted by: Rachael on October 8, 2003 12:33 AM

It's too bad I can't see any of your guys' concerts. You see, my mother is a huge saftey freak, and won't let me go to Chicago, which is like the only city near here that has bands playing there (I live in Cedar Lake, Indiana). I bet you guys totally rock on stage. Stay cool.

Posted by: Tenshi on October 8, 2003 02:17 AM

Hey guys,
I saw you play the Culture Room in Ft.Lauderdale and the next day bought your CD. It is kickass, your lyrics are so beautiful. I will be seeing you again Oct 17 here in Miami(Holloweenie Roast)I Can't wait, hopefully I'll be able to get up close to the stage, but you know us crazy Miamians,it will be a battle for a petite 5'3 girl to get to the front,but I will try my very best.Anyways I love you guys, I listen to your CD while I work out-keeps me focused somehow. You guys are so cute, you are all sexier in person and most of all talented. I'll see you soon-maybe this time I can get Sean's autograph on a CD cover or shirt instead of on an advertisement for the Culture room.(thats what happens when you spend all your cash on drinks and can't buy the shirt or a CD)
love ya,
Abby (your best fan in MIAMI)

Posted by: jessica on October 9, 2003 10:08 PM

It sickens me to see so many people say one guy is hott. It really disses the band. That's why I "DON'T LIKE" people in one way. I can't dream of one, you must have the whole band. And one of them posts says "They will never Email you" Which is true. Unless they do read this and prove me wrong cause I am a retarded DUMBASS who has no life and could disappear from earth, and unlike anyone would care:D.

Ok, it is nearly impossible to find a decent amount of bass tabs for smile empty soul... There needs to be a book or something...

Heyas. Just got back from seeing you guys at the Gypsy Tea Room Ballroom in Dallas, Texas. I just wanted you to know what an amazing honor and priveledge it was to be able to see you. I drove 3 hours just to stay for your 8 song set, and I was thrilled that you guys were back at the merch counter giving autographs. Thanks to Ryan for making the George Washington on my dollar bill look like Adolph Hitler. I'll definitely be making the trip to see you guys again the next time you're in Dallas, and I;m hoping you guys get a headlining tour soon because 8 songs just isn't enough.

Hi. Ijust saw you play in dallas with Fuel. You guys kicked so much ass. I stole one of your posters off the wall so I could check out your site.

You guys kick fucking ass. i saw you at xfest. you rocked. i love your cd . im a pastors kid. so i gotta ask. do you have some weird beef with god. i mean. so what he or it might not might really
be. ill be the first to admit that, but is it really fair to down on him because the wierd whatever that is god has helped so many people get themselves out of bad problems just because they had something to believe in. so why wreck that. why tell them there wrong. just something to think i guess

alrighty, so i already posted a comment, but i wanted to say that "this is war" is a brilliant song. There is so much to it... and i love the violin! The lyrics are... wow. i've been trying to get everyone i know to listen to that song and get them to fully comprehend it's meaning. You guys are awsome. all of your songs have so much emotion in them. this is real...

I was fortunate enough to be there as an intern for our local rock station...and remember the dj talking to you all before the show. Ryan, you are one awesom
