In the Show Me State

Today we drove up to Missouri to play a show at a place called the Foundry...Let me just say this place is really cool. I am actually sitting "watching" one of the bands play. The lead singer has a really high voice...I dont understand it. Well anways, to what really important...this place. It has a massive skatepark...like bigger than any skate park Ive ever seen. It also has tons of 12 year olds skating at said skatepark. Many of them proved to have much bigger you know whats than yours truly. It has a huge rock climbing wall, a huge arcade, and a huge venue, which is why we came. (sorry I used huge so many times in that sentence...it just was true.) Jay challenged me to an air hockey match, which I of course accepted. Well, it was a very close game but Jay sweated. Story complete. Oh! On our way up we realized Michael had left his entire pedal board in Conway (where we naturally had last played) and after we spent about 30 minutes trying to figure ot whose fault that was (my vote was Michael) we had to stop by a music store so he could buy a couple of pedals for tonight...So if anyone has one of those rubber leash things that you put on children as your walking through the mall laying around, feel free to send it to me so I can put it on Michael.

Well pray that we can worship tonight with these people.

I'm nearly 99% sure this band just played the same song twice...uh oh...party foul.

Peace be with you.

Sean has a mic from Satan...it was a gift

I know a said I would wait until tour starts but I guess I'll go ahead and begin now since Chris, using an angry voice, told me to post something if I was going to have a blog. Alright...well traveling back in time a bit (to easter weekend.) We played a lovely show in Dallas, or I should say had a lovely time in Dallas. The show was not a good time. First it was freezing cold outside...seriously though, it snowed in Dallas in April, which was very convenient considering it had never before done that and we had an outdoor show. Second, Seans microphone from Hell shut down half of Downtown Dallas. We dont know what is wrong with it but more on that later. Anyway, the show was kinda terrible but we got to share a beautiful time with friends and my family, which made the trip completely worth it and alot of fun. Then we played in Sheridan, AR that wednesday and Marion, AR over the weekend for a thing there. We were never any less than 20 minutes late for everything we did that weekend...story of our lovely time aware band. We did get to nail kids in the face with whipped cream pies, getting it all over us and falling on the ground at the same time. Last night we played in Conway again, which should make you think that people in Conway really love us...I dont believe that they do. There werent many folks there and Seans mic started acting up again. The way he tells it, the mic treated him as though he was in the hospital and was dying and needed those pads that throw you around and get you to come back to life (my rendition of his experience.) If you didnt understand that...he got shocked alot. This is a bad problem to have when he is the lead and only singer for us. We then became a crappy instrumental band. Well we are still slowly working on the album and trying to write and rewrite songs, record and rerecord them, and talk over and over again about what no name engineer we can have record us for free...if you know any or are one, let me know and I can solve the bands problem. Pray for that...the record I mean. Also pray for Maumelle Family Fest this weekend. Its another outdoor show, which is always strange. Pray that people are healed and lives are changed.

Peace be with you.

Oh, I got a new tattoo...sorry you had to find out this way mom.
