Long awaited update!!!!!

Hey guys!!!

Well, its being a crazy couple of days.....I havent been able to post anything because we have not found wireless.

Well after our 9 hour drive from PA to Joliet, IL we got a room at a days inn. Wow.....bad choice on our part. There was one window about 3 feet by 6 feet, our bathroom tub had a hole in it beside the drainage hole, and to top it off, it had an old bar of soap in it. ONLY $40.00!!!!! WOOT. haha.....

Joliet was awesome, it was snowy and we had lots of snowball fights.

Then we hit the road for another long drive to Nebraska. It was about 7 hours or so. I drove and it was one of the worst drives of my life. It was WINDY and SNOWY. The wind was so bad that it would shake the van. As we were driving we counted upwards of 40-50 cars/trucks/semi's in the median or side of the road. THey had lost control because of the wind and were stuck in the snow. It was scary to say the least.

We got to Nebraska and didnt play a show. Corey had eaten some bad food and was throwing up and couldnt sing. So that sucked a lot. We still sold merch though, even though we didnt play, which was cool.

So then we had a host home that night. We got to shack up with the guys from Dizmas.....they are cool bunch of guys and really have a heart for the Lord.

Then today we played a show in Pella, Iowa. Proably one of the worst shows ive ever played in my life. BUT it wasnt our fault. The sound guys were TERRIBLE!!!! We played our first song and heard some feedback. Then once we started Move, it just went down hill. Feedback so loud we couldnt hear, then Corey's mic stopped working, then Chris's guitar amp started feeding back, and it was just terrible. We actually had to stop in the middle of the song. That sucks. It ended up being ok becuase the kids were cool and rolled with it and we finised out the set.

So now we are at a holiday inn (cHLLin At tHe HolIdaY iN...haha) anyways and we are leaving at about 3.a.m to drive to Denver to fly down to Orlando, FL to play. So yea.....craziness

Well I dont really have to time to upload pictures so I will do that later....Hope everyone is doing good and ill post something soon....

The Noteworthy - Bedford, Pennsylvania

Sitting here in a Comfort Inn, what is up?

We played a show tonight in Bedford, PA at the Noteworthy. The venue was interesting, it was half music venue, half skateboard place. It was very cool and very different. The show was good...crowd was a little hard but it was alright. Not the best show we have done but it will do I guess. A few musical mistakes by everyone but nothing to major. I am loving being able to be the first band.....it has its positives and negatives.

Positive: We get a soundcheck, I get to set up the kit how I like it, no rushing to get stuff on stage
Negative: Not everyone is there always in the beginning, Sound quality in audience is never the best

Also got to meet Craig Sanners dad, sister, and other people (sorry not sure who the others were). Very nice people and I am so glad they came out to see us.

On a lighter note, my neck hurts because I went too crazy behind the kit tonight, kinda funny I think.... One really great thing that has come from the tour thus far is the change in my stage presence....playing with rock/hardcore/metal bands you have to step up ur stage show. I've been watching a lot of youtube to see how other well known bands rock it on stage and I think im getting to a good stage show.....

Well here are some pictures from tonights venue....



have a good one...

Brookville, PA

YO YO YO,

well we just finished another show in PA. Proably our best one to date. Crowd was awesome, energy was there, and we all played very well. I am totally loving playing out live. Once I sit down behind the kit I just love it. There is nothing better than palying music to an audience that is into it, its like a natural high almost. It is so fun and I cant wait for it every day. I think the worst part of touring that I see right now is the driving. It's hard to stay awake while im in a car and so i usually end up sleeping, which gets old. It's also hard for me to stay awake when I am driving....So I love everything else about touring so far except the driving....

Well, here are some pictures from tonight......the venue was called The Scarlet Chord -





Tomorrow night we are in Bedford PA and then we are of to Nebraska!!! woooot!!! haha......only a 16 hour drive! We are actually going to stop half-way in Chicago, then finish up driving the next day. Have a good one!

Peace out,

Morgantown, West Virginia...

Hey hey,

What is up, its about 2 a.m. and we are in our hotel room. We just finished playing at The Metropolitian Theater in Morgantown, WV. Awesome venue! It was big too. There are actually have the High School Musical 2 tour production come there. Crazy cool building, it was a little rustic/old/falling apart, but sooo very cool. The stage was big and the lighting was supurb. Sound Check was a little rough because it went way to fast. There were 7 BANDS ON THE BILL!!!! HOLY COW it was crazy.....A little to much I thought. We all had about 15 minutes which sucked(of course Dizmas had there regular 35 minutes). Our set went well though, I had no monitor again which stunk, but I thought I did fine. Man, putting on a good show is tiring!!! We are all wiped out because we give it all we have in those 15 minutes.

It was a good night and it seems like our sets have been going really well. I still get nervous using tracks every night because If something gets off, its over, haha. But i am getting a little better at it. Clicks dont bother me at all anymore.....I actually never waant to play without one again. Its just using tracks scares me a little, but its all good

Ill put somepictures up from the venue and the very cool city we are in later

everyone have a good weekend!!! Much love!

yo yo yo...

hey all,

Its about 11:15 in Raleigh, NC. We played a show last night at Vintage 21. The crowd was great and our set was awesome. Our set was bumped from a 20 min to 17 min so we had to cut out Rep 1 :( (my favorite song) but its all good. They are just trying to figure out logistics and hopefully we will be bumped back to our regular 20 min. But everying thing else was good, I thought I played well.

Before last nights show we decided that we needed to bump up our stage presence a little bit. So consciously(sp?) we all tried to give more and boy we were all tired. It was 17 minutes of crazy, thats for sure. I thought we looked and sounded really good. We had a good reaction from fans and the crowd seemed to love it.


Well, I will be posting more later about my bible study stuff, we are running late as it is, hopefully we will find internet somewhere. I will be reading and writing about it in the van.

Ill also post some pictures from last night and some other pictures...


Awesome!

Radio Interview

This morning we had a radio interview on 88.5 THE EDGE in Wilmington, NC. Scott and Earl were the radio DJ's. They were really nice guys. The radio station itself was awesome,they play a lot of rock/rap/hard rock stuff. It's a really good ministry that is listener supported and im sure it will continue to gain momentum. Check out their website - http://www.edgeonover.com/

Here are some pictures from this morning...

Reading today - FEB 18

These vereses list out 6 different doctrines that I am going to research throughout scripture and gain a better understanding of throughout the next few weeks.
1. Repentance
2. Faith (in God)
3. Instruction of Baptism
4. Laying on of hands
5. Resurrection of the dead
6. Eternal Judgement


Also while im out on the road I will be reading: What is a Healthy Church?, Every Man's Battle and Biblical Eldership.

Just wanted to give you a little insight on what I am reading/learning while im gone....

just a thought....

God's Awesome....I love him. yea.

reading thoughts...

I've been reading a lot in Proverbs the last few weeks. I was reading and meditating over Proverbs 19:11 -
"A man's wisdom gives him patience, it is to his glory to overlook an offense"

I really like this because I have been praying a lot recently for patience and for wisdom. This kind of puts the two together so it was really cool to read and meditate over this verse because it was a big encouragement.

Also I have been meditating over Romans 10:14-15 for a while. It has been a big encoragement to me the last few weeks as I have been praying for this tour and my life in the future.
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

That really to me sums up the call on my life........especially the " how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" To me, our jobs as Christian men and women is to spread the word of our creator, lover, and savior, Jesus Christ. I think music is a universal language that can reach millions upon millions. God has blessed me and many others to spread his word. I think that we need to remember sometimes that God has blessed us all with gifts that can bless others and that can shine God's light to the world......

Well I think im off to bed!! No scheduled playing tomorrow = sleep = awesome. Haha

good night

1st Show

Good afternoon....

Well last night was great! It was our first show in Jacksonville FL. All the bands were really nice and friendly. We got off the bus and everyone was sayin hey and shaking hands and it was real down to earth. So that is awesome.
The show itself was good. Man, it all goes by fast! We sound checked last and had about 10 minutes before we actually played. Then after our 20 minute set we had 5 minutes to get everying off stage. I shared a kit (Very nice sounding TAMA STARCLASSIC (DAVE WINK WINK) Bubinga kit). Still I had my whole in-ear/monitor rig, cymbals, pedals, and snare to get off in 5 mintues. It was very hectic.
The only crapy part last night was that I had no monitor. The way the stage was set up, they had no monitor send for my mixer. Weird I know. But ya, so I had to play the whole set with just my click in my ear. Although I made 1 or 2 mistakes I thought I did very well considering no monitor.
Well we are in North Carolina right now at Heather Issacs parents house. Man it was nice to sleep in a bed and take a shower!!! Were going to the beach later which will be nice for sure.

Ill post more later im sure. Ill put some pictures up for you of the Murry Hill Theater in FL.

Day 1

Well here I am in our tour "bus." It's about 2:30 EST. We left Memphis last night around 1 a.m. It was hard trying to sleep because there are only two bunks and four chairs. I slept the whole night on a chair. It was rough but I got some sleep.
Tonight we are playing in Jacksonville, FL. It's our first official tour stop. We are all really excited because we played our set for the first time in front of people yesterday and it seemed to go over real great. I think all of our hours of practicing are paying off. Are set was really tight and the audience seemed to really dig it.
My goal is to eat healthy while were gone. I've decided to stop drinking soda all together and try to have little or no fast food. We stopped at Wendy's today for lunch and just got a Caesar Salad and water. It was good and probably the healthiest thing on the menu,
Well that is all for right now.......Ill check back in before or after we play

Peace!
