Breakdown!
Not just the name of one of our new tunes, but the theme of this trip...we broke down twice in one day! Well anyway, we are hanging in Cleveland tonight on a night off getting ready for next weeks gigs. We have some short drives and we have some really long drives...lets hope Aggie can make it! Go sox!

...Drive Drive Drive Drive Drive Drive
After weaving all around New York state we were getting pretty beat up driving around. So on our way to Florida we decided to stop in North Carolina to stretch our legs and blow off some steam. So after we checked into the hotel we hit Burke St. and all of the local watering holes. Cheap beers and southern hospitality, good stuff!

The next morning came very early and it was back into Aggie to finish the trip to FLA. I drank a gigantic bottle of mountian dew and preceded to drive for the next 12 hours straight. It was all worth it because the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful for our outdoor show at the University of Tampa. Everyone at the school treated us really well and we had a great show and a great time...well, tomorrow it's back on the road and off to Atlanta.

Georgia..Geooorgia!!
Well, after raising the temperature in Pennsylvania and Maryland, we took off for Georgia. On the way, we stopped off in Winston-Salem, NC and met up with some kids from the NACA tour. As we cruised through Georgia, the sun was out and it was a beautiful day. We all chilled in Agie and listened to Kris' mix of 77 love songs as we drove. We stopped in Bishop, GA for pics and went to Krismart for Q-tips before arriving in Milledgeville. When we got into town, we saw a giant poster 10 feet x 10 feet that said, "Eden Row Concert Tonite!!" We were wicked pumped to see our fans were psyched for the show and everyone in town knew it. After meeting up with our liason, Katy (you rock!), we arrived at the venue and for the first time ever, rider cop was happy. Before the show, I went outside with the camcorder and filmed the kids coming down the street. They were hungry for rock so me and the boys put on our aprons and served it up. After helping clean up broken pieces of the building that fell down when we started playing (yep, we brought the house down, well partially), we took off with Katy and Vanessa for some food and relaxation. We had a great time down south and now we're heading north. Thanks for all the southern hospitality y'all!! Later!!

Make me moan Bingo!
Wow, It has been a crazy couple of days! First I gave Donny and Josh bad directions for my pick up friday morning...whoops! Then, after playing a kick ass show for the Desales Bulldogs friday night, we had to navigate through a blizzard to get to Mt Saint Mary's in Maryland. Being the best driver of the group...ok, because I'm the new guy, I had the pleasure of piloting "Aggie the Snowmovan" through the whiteout conditions. Don was a little worried with the auto pilot set at 75, as we bombed through about 6 inches of snow. Kris was singing along to David Hasselhoff's collection of German make out songs or some sh!t in the back. I was driving with one hand, keeping a constant flow of caffeine coursing through my body (thanks Mountian Dew) with the other and I was also tasked with keeping Josh awake long enough to navigate! Well...we passed a bunch of accidents, may have caused a few but, short story long... we made it! Saturday night after more then a few technical difficulties (thanks to all the people that pulled it together for us in the clutch!) we got the show started to a couple o' hundred out of control students with mayhem on the brain! I played the show blind and deaf as once the show started the crowd engulfed Kris, Don, and Josh and all but overpowered the monitors singing along and screaming! We had some mosh pits, as well as some crowd surfing. A great night all around...that's all I got.

Pats win!! Pats win!!!
I watched the game yesterday while I was going over our itinerary for the upcoming tour leg. Brady and Co. just can't seem to lose. Feel bad for Pitt. next week. Anyway, we're really getting stoked to finally start playing again and to see a lot of you out on the road. We've got some killer new material that I know you're all gonna dig. I'll get some of the guys to throw in some entries so I'm not the only one rambling on here!! See you on the road!!

Trying to finish some lyrics...
We're working on this new song called, "Election Year". It's not political as in pro a certain party or anything, but it's cool. It kind of rags on the people who mouth their political opinions and don't really know what they're talking about. Anyway, I'm having trouble finishing the 2nd verse. I decided to take a break and watch the Real World Philadelphia. Are any of those people interesting? Why does that guy Landon seem like a serial killer-always crying and yelling. Well, I hope everyone enjoys the new website. It's taken a long time for me to finish the thing. I think it came out pretty cool though. Gotta get back to writing and finish these new songs for ya all. All of us will be throwing in journal entries here and there so check back. Take it easy!! Late!!
