AP Exclusive: From First To Last tour diary (part four)

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 four is below; you can read part one here, part two here and part three here. Enjoy!


Hey, this is Derek and I have hijacked the tour diary this week. Let’s see, where to begin…



Ricky kicked off Hanukkah by giving our tour manager Stuart a chocolate "Star of David" on a stick from a candy apple store at the mall in Medford, Oregon. At the same mall I walked into a store and something said, "You’re a fucking idiot!" I looked over and it was a talking middle finger toy only two inches away from my face.



In other news:

  • Matt Good almost landed a 360 flip in the parking lot of the exit in Fresno. Travis and Manning have broken the world record for how many times in a week you can watch The Fugitive.


  • All of the bands on tour got together on our bus the other night to have a few beers and watch Zeitgeist, The Movie.


  • Dan from Four Year Strong gave Matt Good a drawing of bacon and eggs?!


  • The back lounge has been completely dominated by Guitar Hero 3.


  • Finally, Brandon from Vanna loves rack toms.
