Truth be told, Mason had missed Ryder. Not constantly, or anything, but especially right after he left - he’d been a little adrift, anchorless amongst their sea of shared friends. He’d adjusted, sure, but he’d relied on Ryder. It was nice having someone in your corner.

Now it seemed like Ryder needed to rely on him - even if it was just for a fix. After the show the night before and the partying they’d gotten up to the night before, Mason had felt it a little the next morning; one of many signs that it wasn’t the summer of 2013 anymore.

Mason was standing outside the Cuban cafe he’d Googled, waiting for Ryder to arrive; they hadn’t set a time or anything, so it wasn’t like Ryder was late, but Mason’s attention was ping-ponging from people-watching to checking his phone to debating the pros and cons of just going inside and getting them a couple of seats. He was oblivious - or at least pretending to be - to the girls across the street ‘sneakily’ snapping pictures of him: fans he had more patience with than paparazzi. Not that he had many of either...

And then he spotted Ryder approaching, so he grinned and gave him a little wave. “Hey, man,” Mason called, waving a hand over the milling people around. “Hope you’re hungry, this place smells amazing.”

San Francisco is beautiful. Enjoy it while you can. Oh man. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been here. Many, many, good memories. Did you know I used to play guitar near Fishermans Wharf back in my really young days? Good times. Granted, it did smell like fish half the time, but it was lovely seeing all the tourist. They were all so friendly.

Oh, the Ghirardelli Square is also an awesome place to check out. Who doesn’t love chocolate, am I right? Unless you’re severely lactose intolerant, then I do not recommended it.

Twin Peaks. Okay, that’s the last I’ll say about this city.

Movmnt Magazine aspires to bridge the gap between pop culture and today’s real talent, and recognize artists over fame junkies. We aim to bring fashion, dance, music and pop culture, together as a lifestyle.

The real talent Movmnt Magazine caught up with today was Mason McCarthy - we grabbed a few minutes with him backstage at the San Francisco leg of label Way Out’s national tour. McCarthy is the bassist and backup-vocalist for Jake Puckerman-led band Reflective Smoke, well known for story-songs like Let It Happen and Alter Ego.

How are you feeling? Homesick already?

“God, no, not homesick.” Mason chuckles and shakes his head. “I’ve never been very, like, tethered, so this is awesome - I love being on the move, seeing different places and so many people. It’s been totally awesome so far, but I’m sure the pace will wear on me eventually.”

Which acts have you most enjoyed watching?

“Oh, man, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I really like Wilde’s stuff, and Rachel Berry’s - solo acts are so hardcore, y’know? It’s realer somehow, just you and the music and - yeah, they’re both really awesome ladies. Uh, in terms of groups, Cool Cool Cool is really - uh, cool.” Mason laughs. “Eureka Serpant’s also way out there, I love their vibes.”

Do you have any surprises planned?

“If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it?” Mason grins impishly and raises his hands in defense. “Okay, yeah, I got some stuff in the works, but really - ‘till everything’s a little more settled it’s just that: plans.”

Who is someone you’ve been getting closer to on tour?

“Actually, Ryder, from Mercedes and the Oracle? He and I were roommates back in college. It’s been awesome to catch up with him. Everybody else is too intimidating for me still.”

Are there any rumors you want to confirm or dispute?

“I don’t...really think people are talking much about me? D’you wanna start one? I can neither confirm nor deny that I’m a member of the Illuminati. How’s that for a quote?”

Which show are you most excited for?

“Like, which place?” Mason blinks. “Honestly, man, I never know where we’re going till they tell us, and even then, I never remember for long. Sorry. I’m looking forward to all of them, though, I really am, especially the ones in cities I’ve never been to and wouldn’t go to otherwise.”

Have you made any mistakes? Have any regrets?

“Like...in life? Or in the past week?” Mason chuckles and waves a hand. “Man, next question. I don’t believe in regrets. If it’s fun, it’s fun, and if it bites you, it’s your own dang fault.”

How is this tour compared to your past tours? Or is this your first tour?

“I mean, I guess I ‘toured’ with my parents when we were kids, but...we were kids, and it doesn’t count, so basically I’m a tour virgin! Which means this is totally putting all my other tours to shame.” Mason laughs. “Really, though, it’s been totally wild. I’m pretty sure I’m heading toward ‘overwhelmed by awesomeness’ territory and I’m gonna need to crash soon, but ‘till then, I’m just trying to live it up, y’know? You only get so many firsts, and I want this to be a good one.”

What expectations did you have, and is the tour meeting up to them?

“I try not to have expectations, especially not for totally awesome once in a lifetime stuff like this tour. I mean hopefully not literally once in a lifetime, but you know what I mean. Once so far. I tried not to have any expectations so I couldn’t be disappointed, but I still hoped for awesome music and cool people, and tour’s definitely living up to that!”
