ALRIGHT! here it is :) as promised. hope everyone has had (or is having - if you're in the US) a great day. so last night was a great show!!! thanks to everyone who came out and had a good time with us. it was a really special night. no reason in particular other than it just felt really awesome. we did play an outro to "Miracle" which i noticed you guys were talking about in the community. we started writing that right before the Jimmy tour. in fact, we spent an entire day of supposed practice just jamming on that song and improvising. it feels good, you know? we don't ever play it live but after playing "Miracle" last night, i guess josh just felt like doing it so he started and we sorta chimed in :) it's always fun to do that sorta thing in shows. it keeps us from getting stuck in a certain way of doing things. keeps us fresh. glad to hear you guys liked it! the whole show was so much fun. i took my in-ears out for "Misery Business" just so i could hear everyone and i swear i thought i was gonna go deaf. the crowd was so intense and so loud. we had a blast. also, thanks to everyone who waited around after the show to hang for what few seconds we got to talk and sign. backtracking just a little bit, Dublin ruled. our first trip to Ireland couldn't have been any better. 6,000 people? are you kidding me? it was huge for us. we also were presented with gold records for RIOT! YES! we went gold in Ireland! definitely a really cool night for the guys and i. can't wait to go back! alright, cologne, germany i gorgeous. you can see a few pictures that i took on our mobile stream on paramore.net of the cathedral. it was so crazy... we walked all the way up the spiral-y steep steps to the top by the bell tower. we basically walked to the clouds, if you're wondering how high it was. my legs started hurting pretty bad but it was so worth it! when we got to the top i started thinking about how 5 years from now, i won't even remember the climb up as being anything but amazing because it got me to the view at the top... and that's how life can be. any struggle or pain you experience just gets you to the top. and you can't get there without making the climb. a few years later, you won't remember exactly the way the pain felt or how long it took, you'll just remember the view from the top. in fact, you might smile at the fact that you had to work to get there. so yeah, my tourist experience today was pretty enlightening. and again, you can check out a couple pics on paramore.net - in fact, you better! those picture emails are gonna cost me so much from overseas haha. what was i thinking!?!? oh and by the way, for those of you wondering why i'm the only one that's been posting... the guys don't have their regular phones and their Europe phones aren't set up to make the mobile posts. they'll be back! see you at Rock Am Ring!!!
