THE GOOD STUFF

What was your first music trip?

I drove 7 hours to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to see Bad Suns, and right after that show was over, I drove 5 hours to Memphis, Tennessee to see The Band CAMINO.

What’s the craziest trip you’ve ever taken for a band?

Probably my 16 hour drive to Indianapolis, Indiana to see The Wldlfe and The Band CAMINO, because on my way home, I decided to make a “pit stop” in Memphis and see The Band CAMINO the next night.

What do you love about traveling for music?

I love traveling to see artists because I know that I love the artists wholeheartedly, and I want to support them in any way I can. Gotta fly to Las Vegas because LANY is opening for John Mayer?? So be it.

Fav city to visit for tours?

BOSTON!!! a lot of fun memories in that city.

Fav venue you’ve traveled to?

The Echo in Los Angeles because they had FREAKING COUCHES to sit on and a DOPE Mexican food place across the street.

Tell us about one of your fav tour memories.

I will literally never forget when my sister Briatni and I were in Boston surprising our pals in The Band CAMINO. We were scoping out the venue and the guitar player, Spencer, walked out of the venue when we were right by the door, so we SLAMMED against the wall trying to camouflage/act normal (like he didn’t walk right by us??). I had green hair at the time so I definitely stood out. Then we ran away so he wouldn’t see us and tell the rest of the boys we were there. We asked him later that night if he saw us and he said he thought it was my twin LOL

What are your bucket list venue destinations?

THE FONDA THEATRE IN LOS ANGELES

Bucket list artists/bands to see?

I’ll literally never get to see them because they aren’t a band anymore, but Balance and Composure.

Any words of wisdom for your fellow traveling fangirls?

Pack sensible walking shoes! You never know when you’ll have to walk 8 miles because the tRaIn Is ClOsEd FoR mAiNtEnAnCe.
