Two weeks in.

Two weeks into this and I am starting to realize just how hard this is going to be. I love it, but it can be rough. It doesnt help that most of us in the house are sick. I guess thats bound to happen when you have 57 people in one house. Most nights average 4 to 5 hours of sleep. Today I decided to take a day to myself. I spent the day downtown San Diego. 

Yesterday I spent the day in Los Angeles, I needed to expedite my passport at the federal building... why did I need a passport? SURPRISE! I am headed to Uganda on Sept 4th. My team will headed to the east coast while I am on a 26 hour plane ride... San Diego to Minneapolis to Amsterdam to Kampala. We leave here at 8:45 in the morning on the 4th, and we land in Kampala at 8:15pm on the 5th. 36 hours... I don't get it, I have a hard time putting all of this time change stuff together. I come home on Sept 15th. And by home I mean I land in Pittsburgh and jump right in to tour. No days off, its the real deal. I've been living out of a suitcase since the end of June. I kind of like it. If you feel like donating any money to help me out on this trip feel free to do so. I didn't expect to go to Uganda so I wasnt able to save for this one... $2700 dollars is what I need for this trip. I am confident it will happen. Thank you if you give, and I am super appreciative for any prayers or thoughts sent my way. 

You can make a check out to Invisible Children and put "Roadie trip, blaise vincz" on the memo line, and if thats you, you can send it to:

I am so surprised that it NEVER rains here. I have been in San Diego for two weeks, I dont know if I have even seen a cloud. I like it. 

I am going through withdrawal from my bike and my guitars. I would kill to have either of those here at the moment.

Hope all is well.

So did you not bring your guitars cuz it could easilty get stolen, or it'd be to much to lug around on tour, or it would just be a waste cuz you wouldn't have time to play it?

And surprise trip to Uganda...geez God works in mysterious ways. That's so awesome. I'm so jealous. I would ask how you came up with that large sum of money, but maybe it says in future posts...
