aolmusic: When you travel
aolmusic: do you bring home-stuff, like scented candles?
CanadaSk8trGrl: No, I don't really like the smell of scented candles. They are too dangerous on the tour bus.

CanadaSk8trGrl: I don't get homesick
aolmusic: is there a city on this tour you're particularly psyched to play in?
