Is there a more hard-working band on the planet than Paramore? The group is about to head off on yet another cross-country trek, as their headlining gig on the annual Honda Civic Tour kicks off next Friday, July 23, at the Raleigh Boutique Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina (they'll be joined by Tegan and Sara, New Found Glory and Kadawatha). And even when the group isn't in front of a horde of screaming fans, they still make an incredible effort to stay connected to their followers (especially singer Hayley Williams, who has mastered the art of Twitter jiu-jitsu).
But even the most committed artists need a day off once in a while, and for Williams, today is that day. Before she called it a night on Tuesday (July 13), she tweeted, "Tomorrow is my first real day off in so long that I'm sort of nervous about it." We know the feeling, Hayley. When you work that hard, sometimes down time can almost feel like a burden. You've got so many things you'd like to catch up on that it all seems overwhelming (we typically end up watching reruns of "The Office" and playing "UFC Undisputed 2010" on XBox, when we should really be working on book projects or re-upholstering the furniture). But there's no need for you to worry! You should enjoy your day of leisure, but if you need a little guidance or inspiration, here are a handful of things you could do to fill your time on this quiet Wednesday.
