It’s been a few weeks, but I’m happy to announce that we’ve got another update from Make Do And Mend vocalist James Carroll, reporting from the trenches on bowling, burritos, and celebrating our nation’s birth.

Hey all,
I write this blog update from the bench of our bus in St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis has always been one of my favorite places to play, at places like FUBAR. California was a blast—San Francisco by the bay and an amazing charity bowling tourney in San Diego were definitely highlights. Now let me say this … I am not a great bowler. I’m not even a good bowler. I will use this blog as my formal apology to my teammates as well as the sport at large for my atrocious performance. Luckily our boys in Every Time I Die played hard and left with the trophy. After Cali it was on to Phoenix, Arizona. PHX has always held a very special place in my heart, and a burrito from my favorite burrito spot in the entire world, Las Favoritos in Tempe. Even 112-degree heat couldn’t get me down.
Slowly we made our way to and through Texas, which brings us to yesterday—the day of our nation’s birth—or more importantly, grilling, swimming, and fireworks. After spending an ignorant amount on things to blow up, I had a great night of eating. I started with veggie franks and beans, and then moved on to some portobello, red pepper, onion, and marinated tofu shish kebobs that I must say were pretty perfect. Here I am with all fingers and limbs intact, and we are on the road again.
All my best until next time,
James

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
