AP readers!




Went to bed at 2 in the morning and woke up at around 3:30 with the worst back pain I’ve ever had in my life. The mattress to my bunk is awful. I then couldn’t go back to sleep. We had to catch a ferry at 6:40 a.m., so i stayed up till we got on the ferry. Three hours later, they were departing all the vehicles from the ferry, and I ended up missing my bus, so I had to walk across this huge bridge. Long story short: I’m exhausted.



But as I write this, we’re in Munster, Germany, at a venue called Skate Palace. It’s one of the sweetest venues I’ve ever seen.



FIrst off, there is no wall that hasn’t been tainted by someone’s sick graffiti!





You walk into this place and, of course, there is your bar and the smell of old beer and liquors, but they actually have a skate park inside!





The stage is a great size, and the capacity is 1,200. So you can imagine how big this place is.





America, YOU GOT NOTHING ON GERMANY as far as the spread they gave us for catering. There was bread, cheeses, meats, butter, coffee, apples, bananas, apple juice, orange juice, grapes, pears, Coke, etc. A huge table for eats!








Internet, washer and dryers…





Bathrooms with showers…





And they have three doors which if opened contain bunk beds.





I’m not sure if i’m in Germany or if God’s given me a little taste of heaven. But this place is pretty sweet for a venue.



Enjoy these pics i took with my new Nikon D3000. I know nothing of cameras and never cared about photography until i purchased this beast from the east. But I could take a picture of my own feces and you’d think it was cool. Go get you one of these cameras. They’re sick!



AP, you guys are great! One of my favorite magazines! I’ve been a personal fan since i was 16. I’m 24, almost 25. Ugh, i don’t want to think about it!



Lates, AP!!!


P.S. — This tour with A Day To Remember and Bring Me the Horizon is great! Wish it was in the States!
