Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 11/19/07 @ 4:20 PM - altpress.com

One of the most anticipated tours of this fall is the return of From First To Last, and we're so excited about it that we asked FFTL to keep a weekly diary of the experience. Part two is below; you can read part one here. Enjoy!

Hello again!

last time I checked in we were out on the "rather be slayin' n00bz tour" with our good friends bless the fall, vanna and a skylit drive. We finished up the first half of the tour the other day in pennsylvania at Mr. Smalls. Bless the Fall had a sick final show for the tour, and craig was his usual monkey-like self climbing whatever he could reach.. also at the end of their set the kids all rushed the stage it was pandemonium.. good times.. Bless the fall is a sick live band and like every night he was always getting into some stage craziness..

We had a great set that night and as usual Mr. Smalls was a great show all around.. After the set was over we gathered all the bands (except for vanna who had to go home early for family reasons) and we took a picture of the bands and I'm gonna make sure they put it in my blog so you can see our beautiful faces.

We have had a great time playing all the cities in the north east, it's been so cold and our crew has been fighting colds and random ailments, but the band has luckily stayed healthy and our voices are feeling great.

Currently we are heading to Kentucky to play the Mad Hatter... Tonight is the last show for our friends Mia Medusa! we are sad to see them leave.. everyone go check them out and give them a listen they are VERY gifted musicians.

Also today is the first show Pierce the Veil is playing so its good bye to one band and hello to another, and on the 27th we will be welcoming Vanna back to the tour, so the fun is just getting started! Its exciting seeing everyone singing along to our new song, "two as one".. I can already see a difference in the shows and I'm stoked to see that everything is settling into its place and we are continuing on where we left off..

I'm extremely thankful to everyone who has been coming to the shows and supporting the bands, we would probably be dead on the streets of valdosta if it weren't for you guys...
