PropertyOfZack is extremely happy to bring you Automatic Loveletter’s first Road Blog during their run of holiday shows with Valencia, Mercy Mercedes, and Terrible Things. Check out the first entry below!

From Juliet Simms:

Day 1: Florida to TN. Because of the snow and stops it was about 14 hours of travel time. Laying in the back of the van, aka my layer in the south western hemisphere of the home on wheels, I nursed a dog bite which O had received a few hours prior by our tour manager’s dog. Effing Cujo.

 Our first show was 2 days later in Detroit, I knew we had arrived when I stepped out of the van and all feeling in my face ceased. Walking up to our friend’s apartment for sleep we were all laughing at how much we were slip sliding around like a bunch of clumsy idiots. 2:30 a.m we walk up the stoop, beyond tired and ready to pass out the door opens and sure as shit, there’s a house party going on. Situations like this is the reason I can sleep anywhere anytime. Moving people over and off the couch…I sleep.

Detroit show was awesome! Tons of kids and did some great interviews and acoustic performance before hand. Fun filled day of snow, music and some good friends. Onward to play Cleveland the next night!

We arrived at The Grog shop in Cleveland Heights a little early, so we got some Chipotle and then had a snow ball fight. The crowd was so loud and great it made my night. After we played I hung with some of the fans and then went back stage for a few interviews and then got ready to go back on stage to guest sing with Valencia. End of the night, we packed up and drove half way to Altoona, PA. Got to the hotel at 2.a.m and left at 10:30 a.m this morning. Now I’m sitting yet again in my little layer writing this diary. My butt is asleep from the way I’ve been sitting for the last 2 hours..good thing were pulling over..gotta shake it off and tinky;)

Till next diary entry<3
