TORONTO. Tonight is the first night of tour with the Cold War Kids and Ra Ra Riot. I’m so excited for all the adventures that the next five weeks on the road will bring and being able to see both these bands play every night will be the icing on the cake. I’m a lucky boy for sure…

You know what makes me even more thrilled than all the headlines and coverups about the impending economic apocalypse? When corporations sell it all back to us with food. YUM! Don’t think critically, don’t ask questions, and for god’s sake, don’t eat critically either. It’s fine! We’re all totally fine. Totally. Fine. Shhhhhh, there, there, have another buttermilk biscuit.

talk about a Fuck It Bucket...

Mmm, my taste buds AND my wallet are watering...

I did an interview the other day with a journalist that asked me, “So how does it feel traveling so much?” And I really didn’t have a succinct answer for him. It can be fine. It can be a hassle. It can be easy. It can be stressful. Depends. So on my last weekend home before I head out on tour again, I thought I would attempt to answer this question in the form of a short photo essay. This is how flying feels:

Thanks to the folks over at Playmobil for making a toy out of one of the more hellish things about modern travel. Best part about this playset: The shoes don’t come off. But the guns do. Hey kids, Let’s learn about travel!

I could do this forever, I really hope these aren’t getting old…

Someone murdered a printer in Osaka. I’m going to solve this case come hell or high water, dammit, I’ve got to.

More fun with Mark D. in the gold suit I bought at Tokyu Hands.

As you wish, I bring you the Return of the Gold Suit. Thanks to Mark D. for being a good sport about all of this and for being a fun, posable model. I can barely keep the camera still I’m laughing so hard.
