July.
chadsugg:
I welcome you to the first minute of what will begin the greatest year of my life. This “greatest year” won’t begin until July 14th,… however, July is already here.
I decided a long time ago, for no apparent reason, that my 23rd year on this planet was going to be one of the best I will ever see. So, to put it lightly, I’m actually super stoked for my own birthday for once.

And, close.
The Now You Know Tour has officially come to an end.
I’ve got about a 6 hour drive back to TN tomorrow, but after I’m settled back in on Wednesday I’ll be sure to post a nice update on how fun the tour was, as well as some future plans I have coming up.
Hopefully you’re all still doing well in Tumblrland. I’m looking forward to catching back up with you all!
:)
Decisions.
I can be quite undecisive. Here’s an example:
This isn’t huge amazing news at all, but I’ve decided to move my main Twitter back to twitter.com/backseatgoodbye. Having two Twitters basically became useless and a bit awkward. So, now the only Twitter I’ll be posting on from here on out is @backseatgoodbye
:)
Dear Chad Sugg (aka Backseat Goodbye),
vivalawhitney:
You have changed my life in so many ways. Thank you thank you thank you. :)
Thanks, I’m quite glad to hear that. And, you’re very welcome :)

Finally downloaded a Tumblr app for my iPhone. So now I’ll do my best to post more on here while I’m on the road :)
Heads up!
My Fort Wayne, IN and Mokena, IL shows have been moved to different venues, full info @ backseatgoodbye.com/shows.html.

This will be my main Twitter account now. So if you want my lame everyday updates on life that I usually post on the BG Twitter, then feel free to follow me at the link above :)
P.S. - I’ll still update the Backseat Goodbye Twitter regularly, but it will be for news, contest, events, etc.
Things to do before tour:
+ Get merch sorted, counted, and packed + Figure out new car arrangement for extra gear and merch + Finish recording EP (4 songs left to fully record) + Practice songs for setlist + Gather all tour info (venue addresses, load-in times, etc…) + Print off day sheets and merch sheets + Pack my bag (clothes, toothbrush, don’t forget shampoo like usual) + Enter all venue addresses for tour...

Advice.
Stay true to yourself, no matter what. At the end of the day, it’s always good to know you fought for what you truly believed in. Win or lose, the greatest reward comes from knowing you battled against the odds until the war was over.
Ha.
I was on AbsolutePunk.net (literally one of my favorite websites since 2004) reading the news page, I was scrolling down the page going through the articles, realized the flier for my June tour was flashing in a big ass ad on the side of the page, and said out loud, “Oh shit”, in a surprised tone. I then laughed to myself at my own reaction.
And now I’m just sitting here,...
Strange.
I find it strange when I realize that I get to tour with such great artists. Please check out the bands that will be supporting me each night on my upcoming June tour:
