European Tour

Last week I returned home from a European tour with Taking Back Sunday. I’ve been touring for about ten years now and for the first time in a long while I got to go to some cities that I’ve never been to. Seeing some new places brought back the feeling of touring in the early days. The days when I wasn’t sure what to expect and the excitement of traveling made me feel free. Most afternoons I would wander around for hours between soundcheck and the start of the show. I usually had no idea where to go, but would always end up finding something interesting. I took a lot of pictures during those walks and I’ve posted a lot of them online. I was looking back through them today though and thought there were a few more that might be worth sharing…
