Post-Tourdum Decompression

When you are gone on a trip for a solid month of go go go and constant new stimulus everyday it can be hard wind back down into the everyday "toil" of regular life. Tour was that go go go for me, and it was a blast. But I am glad to be home. I was gone for a solid month! Thats never happened before! The month was one week of Royal Family Kids Camp (which needs a blog of its own), and then three weeks of touring and convention craziness, with a dash of comic con in the middle. Oh man did I have a wonderful time! Seeing new places, meeting TONS of people. Most of which were nice, and if you read my blog and I met you I can say YOU were oh so nice. Having had never seen the East Coast I was in wide-eyed astonishment of almost every detail, which amused my fellow travelers. Speaking of my fellow travelers, that is just the segway I needed to introduce my fellow travelers. They happened to be my favorite part about the trip. I had such a wonderful time with everyone! "Everyone" being my fellow PodCasters; John, Melissa, and Sue. Some cool merch girls; Bre and Sam. Some cool cats who know ancient ruins (aka my new fun way of saying web coding) Nick and Alex, along with a whole suite full of Leaky staffers. And probably the coolest kids of all, b/c they can make instruments make beautiful sounds, the bands; The Remus Lupins, The Womping Willows, and The Mudbloods. This was my first time hanging out with these kids for more than a few hours, and I gotta say that I am glad that I was able to. They are pretty cool :) and kinda talented ;). And all the silly jokes made a memorable tour into an unforgettable tour. Below are some inside jokes, doodles and pictures. ENJOY!

I was at one tour stop and your getting my insides all in a knot. Really can we give up our daily lives and follow you guys touring everyday? Every state. Even Alaska.
