Show Timeeee

It's almost time for Cartel the break out of their bubble that they've been stuck in for the past 20 days and I think they're starting to get a little nervous. To get pumped up they started running around in circles hah.



THAT WAS SO COOL! haha



The show ended so... they went back in the bubble?




It was an amazing night, I copied all four episodes onto a dvd haha. And the concert went awesome too if you missed it you can either watch it on drpepperbubble.com or here http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1562402&vid=156637

2 Hours And Counting...

SOUNDCHECK!! WHOOO YEAHHH.
I'm so excited for this!



And now they get to just hang out until it's bubble bursting timee.



The Colonel stopped by the give the guys some more chicken.




Joseph, Jeff, and Will resort to lying on the floor after the furniture in the bubble is taken away.




Tonights plans might have to be changed around a bit since it's been pouring down rain for the past hour. The boys watching their dedicated fans standing outside in the rain.



Nic and Jeff get the crowd up and cheering



The webcams are slowly de-activating... =[
I'm starting to get somewhat emotional haha. I've already said this a billion times but this has honestly been an awesome experience for me. I feel like I've really gotten to know all of the guys individually and I feel like I've been part of their experience and It's going to be hard to just all of a sudden let go.


Discussing the weather patterns hah

Well, this is it.

If you haven't already be sure to download Cartel's first single "Lose It" off of iTunes!

Today is officially Cartel's last day in the bubble. Tonight at 8pm they will burst out of the bubble and perform a live concert which will be broadcast as the final episode of Band In A Bubble so tune into MTV and watch! This is making me sad, I've felt like such a part of this process for the past 20 days. Tomorrow I'm going to be like where's my boys?? Hah I'll miss stalking them but I've loved being able to watch them record this album, as I said before it's been real hah.

Theyre talking about what's going to happen if it starts to rain hah.
Jeff- "As long as we can get drunk afterwards, I'm good."
"It's definatly going to rain..."
"We've got a bunch of Debbie-downers here"


This is all that's visible to me as of what the stage looks like.






They've got all their stuff ready and packed and they're moving everything out.





And now they're just waiting around.
Joseph's model pose?



Some of Will's family just arrived, aww there's too little girls they're adorable! hah



Joseph and Nic claim their self portraits.


Jeff- "Man I have nothing to do until 830"
Some guy- "What are you gonna do?"
Jeff- "I don't know... I'm just getting drunk somewhere."

CARTEL'S LAST NIGHT!!!

Tonight is Cartel's last night in the bubble! I can tell they're all excited about the big day tomorrow, they probably would love to just bust out right now. I can barely see anyone because they're setting up the lights for tomorrows show, which looks spectacular by the way.

Joseph- "It's like the last day of school, you want to leave early but you have to stay."

The boys are currently walking around singing "Umbrella" by Rihanna haha.
I guess I can play where's Cartel right now......

I spy WILL AND KEVIN!



I spy Joseph? Soundcheck at 9:50... that's cool? Him and Jeff are playing the "I name a song, you play it" game.... "SILVERCHAIR! SABBATH! WEEZER! ZEPPELIN! JOSEPH, LED ZEPPELIN! JOSEPH, BEETLES! JOSEPH, LED ZEPPELIN! JOSEPH, NOVEMBER RAIN! RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE! GREEN DAY! SMASH MOUTH!!" ok i'll stop now they might do this for awhile... haha. it's very amusing.



Well after playing that game for about 20 minutes, they started to practice for tomorrow night! They just played Lose It, and I already know almost all of the lyrics to that song haha.



Cool lighting




SET LIST FOR TOMORROW NIGHT!

Lose It
Runaway
Burn This City
New Song- the one that starts off with a gang verse that Kevin and Jeff recorded.

Goodnight boys- it's been real. I'm going to miss stalking you for the past 20 days of my life. It really has been a great experience being able to see how a record is made. I feel like I'm more connected to you guys and that I've really gotten to know you even though you don't know me haha. Can't wait for the new album, I'm waiting till 12:01 so I can download Lose It off of iTunes!

Victory!

The webcams are working again, well all but 4 are working. Someone stopped by this morning to interview Cartel. I couldn't hear it too well but i got out a couple things here and there.

Will- "We haven't felt any pressure on this album, it's just been sort of just come naturally." "We're almost redefining ourselves you could say, I mean we're still the same Cartel but the album is definatly different from Chroma."

Joseph- "If we were under pressure I think the new album would've sounded like Chroma."

One of the questions was what are they doing for the third album. They said they were just going to go back to the home studio and record there, Jeff had another idea "ON THE MOON!"

Jeff- "I love it when people are good at their job, I hate stupid people..... JOSEPH."

And then they just sat around for awhile and read, Kevin attempted to play the guitar.


Then they found their Monopoly.


Quick lunch break.


Back to the game.



Then someone came to interview them... it was interesting hah. When the person left one of the guys just goes "god damn." And back tooooo MONOPOLY!

Technical Difficulties

Sorry guys but the webcams haven't been working at all for the past day and a half for me, i've tried getting on about every hour and they're not even loading its just all black. It's pretty annoying because this is basically all I do and now I have nothing to do. All I know is that they have officially finished the record and are now celebrating for the last two days so hopefully they won't get too bored in there.

Peter Malkinnnn

Hah i love the way they say his name every single time he walks in.

They're talking about the album. Jeff says that it gives off an early 90's vibe haha. Peter said Wasted was his favorite. That's about all I could understand the sound keeps going in and out.

Now they're listening to a song in the producer room that I actually haven't heard yet and it sounds so good. Peter loves it too which is great.



HAHA. This is adorable they all love dogs. Jeff was like "LOOK AT THAT PUPPY I WANT IT IN HERE! Come onn get that puppy in here pleaseee!" and they're all like "It's so cuteee! I want it in heree" hahha Joseph "It's so stoked on being alive." hah I love these boys. Finally the dog came in and they were all happy.




"It's big full grown chuck sammons!"
"KIZZLE THE WIZARDD"

Kevins brother Kyle Sanders aka "kizzle" hah


Cartel's Tour Manager Chuck Sammons



Jeff was giving himself a back massage on the hover board thing. And then Nic body surfed ontop of him. Then Kevin and Jeff did that superman thing.




Jeff- "JOSEPH..... you're so stupid."

Brotherly Love


Will and Kizzle's Battle


Will practicing his golf swing with a life saber.

A Bit Confused

Last night all the guys were saying "Yeahhhh it's the last night!" and talking about packing their stuff and everything, which confused me because they still have about 4 days left in the bubble. So maybe they finished to album early and get to leave? Or not I really have no idea, or maybe it's the last night with the camera men around haha i really don't know it was confusing.

I always seem to catch Joseph doing something. I heard part of his interview this morning and then the sound went out and hasn't been on since

The interviewer asked him if he had recorded anything yesturday and he said he had been putting off recording his solo for one song and that he was having trouble coming up with something. He usually just goes in and plays it on the spot but he said he had to actually sit down and write something this time because he had so much freedom in this song.




And I'm assuming he's recording it right now, but I don't know because the sound isn't working.



And then Nic went in to finish recording.



There's so many people out today and there's not even a special event going on, people are just there. Joseph was like "I looked earlier and there was only about 7 people and I look up now and there's like 60."

Now Will is recording some backup vocals.

School's Out For The Summerrr

Finally, yesturday was my last day of school! I'm going to be a little buisy for the rest of the week so sorry if there is a lack of posts.

The many faces of Joseph Pepper.





And his sweet headband.
