No sleep til Brooklyn

Alright, so sorry for not posting in a while, but we have been really really on the move, with not internet access anywhere. This has been a really long, eventful few days, starting in Corpus Christi, TX. We played a great show with our buddies, Avion at a beautiful amphitheater to a huge crowd. From there, we played the Wildflower Festival in Richardson, TX, and took the stage after Cowboy Mouth. Went out that night and pulled back up to my hotel as the sun was coming up. Got some of my favorite barbeque in Dallas, and saw Star Wars III the next day. As a fan of the older movies, I wasn't too thrilled with this one, although it was much better than I and II.
Things really started to get hectic on Monday though. We had to wake up at 4 for our flight to Miami. Got into Miami and went right to sleep for a few hours. Got some dinner and drinks and didn't make it home again til about 4:30. Just a big ol' party.
The next day we played the Y100 Summer Splash at the Office Depot Center in Miami, FL. Lindsay Lohan, and Tyler Hilton hosted, and we played with Gwen Stefani, Mario, Gavin DeGraw, Ciara, Backstreet Boys, our friends Simple Plan, and Jesse McCartney. Had a great time hanging out backstage, where we saw Dan Marino, met The Pussycat Dolls, and just made new friends in some of the bands.
Had a sick afterparty that I set up (I'm proud to say). Got Simple Plan, Jesse McCartney, and some of the Backstreet Boys to attend, which I'm pretty psyched about! Had a great time, stayed awake until our 7:20 flight to Houston for an afternoon show at Deer Park High School, as a promotion for the Sonic burger chain. Then, we flew again that day into Fayetville, AR, where we are right now for our show tonight. More to come soon hopefully.

  • Wow. That is an insane amount of flying. I could never do it. Glad your having a good time. And I agree, Episode III was much better than I and II, but the original trilogy just can't be beaten.

  • Hey Jordan,

    Ur an awesome drummer and gagger. Where's the pause button for life when you're desecrating a plosky by plugging all holes. Oh, and I agree Episode III is def better than I & II.
