![]() It’s a job I enjoy (most of the time) which is always a plus.”įun fact about Josh is that they filmed “The Wonder Years” at his junior high school and they were occasionally used as extras. I work a normal 9-5 type job doing final quality control for labels for medical trials. It was the easiest and at the same time one of the hardest decisions to make…and as much as I miss my family and friends back home, it is the best decision I ever made. ![]() “I moved back to Long Island and have been here about 9 years now. “That led to some cool encounters with actors at my school and stumbling across many different sets of things shooting in my neighborhood.” Once Kristen and Josh decided to not be long distance anymore he made the move back to Long Island. So he grew up in Burbank where all the movie & T.V. Long Island, New York, is where Josh was born but his family moved to Los Angeles, California, when he was just 2 years old. Another lyric I love that I see everyday is “I’d say you hung the moon if they ask me.” Over the years a couple things have made them even more meaningful, and after Kristen’s Runt Rant last week we can add another reason why I love that song and those lyrics. “I’ve always loved being in, on, or near the ocean. Josh said he has always been bad at learning song lyrics, but from the first time he heard the lyrics to “Speak Easy” they’ve always been special to him. That’s also probably my favorite album and a shame that it’s basically been ignored since the year after it came out.” “ Stereolithic is another one because 2014 is the summer Kristen and I went Facebook official and possibly the tour that I went to the most shows on. He said “Universal Pulse” will always be important to him because when it was released in 2011 he started traveling a lot to follow 311 and meet up with friends he had made the previous year. ![]() Picking a favorite song for Josh he said would be impossible. I felt bad for anyone that hadn’t seen 311 before but for me it was an interesting and in a strange way enjoyable set.” ![]() When everyone heard SA’s voice for the first time that day the crowd erupted. On one of the switches he almost didn’t get it back to Nick on time. His mic never worked but by the time they closed with Down he figured it out and started sharing with Nick. Whenever it was his time to shine, half the crowd was booing the Warped sound crew, and the other half were singing what we should have been hearing SA sing. SA’s mic was out the entire set which really sucked, but at the same time ended up a great memory. It was the last year for Warped and they did a few two day events around the country. Another one I enjoyed, not necessarily because it was a great show but very different one was Warped Tour 2019 in Atlantic City. 311 Day 04 & 14 for the length of show and setlist, and Pow Wow just for the experience of it all (and Transistor of course). “The first sail away show had an energy that I don’t know will ever be topped. There are some others that also mean a lot to him. He said the most important to him is without a doubt the Red Rocks show in 2010, because that is where he met the love of his life, Kristen. Overall I’ve been to probably like 600-700 concerts in my life, maybe one day I’ll figure out that exact count.”įavorite show for Josh, it’s hard to narrow down because there are so many that mean a lot for different reasons. “That includes all 7 cruises, every 311 Day since 04 except 06 (new job kept me from going), Pow Wow, and a couple Halloween shows (2001 & 2017). His first show was December 12th, 1999, at the Las Vegas House of Blues. “By the time KROQ started playing All Mixed Up and Don’t Stay Home I was hooked and went and bought every album they had at the time.”Ĭurrent show count for Josh is 138. He wasn’t a fan at first but the more he heard it, the more it grew on him. The song “Down” was the first song that Josh ever heard when it was played on KROQ. Let’s finish up the year and meet Josh Callan! Hello again my friends in 311 nation! It’s time for the last fan spotlight of 2023 (Yes I’m taking a break for the holidays).
