As you can see I'm not the best at keeping up with internet-ly type things. I'm thinking my last blog post was something like 19 days ago. Insane right? Well, the life of a rocker is a crazy one. There is a lot going on that keeps one from blogging. I mean I've probably logged at least 400 hours of sleep in the 456 hours it's been since I last blogged. The other 56 hours were filled with rock 'n' roll antics only the finest of rockers could encounter. Let's recap shall we?

Get ready for this post cause it's a double feature of two action packed days of Tour Up From the Floor Up!!!

Last night's show was a killer. Springfield, Ill. is always one of our favorite places to play. Kids really know how to party at the Black Sheep Cafe. I love the killer punk rock atmosphere of the club. We play anywhere from dirty punk clubs to A-market clubs to churches.

Something about playing a small room super packed just gets me real stoked. It's definitely intense. Big stages and tons of kids are cool, too, but give me the Black Sheeps of America any day of the week. We really jammed last night. We had a couple not so awesome days in a row so it was gnarly to get back into the swing of things with a super jammin' show.

So it's inevitable that tour will have good days and bad days. I's not a bad thing, its just life. Tour is like anything else in life, school, work, etc. It definitely is a lot of fun and I love it, but some days just aren't gonna be as sweet as others. Hence today.

A few of the dudes and myself slept in the van last night cause the house we were staying at with Hundo was pretty crowded. I woke up a bit tired but it was decent van sleep. After waiting on some of the dudes to come out, we left for some breakfast. After a tasty waffle house chicken biscuit, Damifino (our merch guy) and I went walking around a JC Penny. Yeah I know, we're pretty stylish. Ha. After fashion time we had a few hour drive.

Searcy, Ark. Who? What? Where? I know! I've never heard of the place until today. It's a quaint town about an hour from Little Rock with a whopping population of 18,000! But you know what they say, good things come in small packages, right?

I gotta come right out and be honest, our show wasn't the biggest -- but it was a fun time. We played at a lazer tag arena. And yes, what you're thinking is correct. Free lazer tag!!!!

Oct. 31 we started our tour off in our Home town of Nashville with the fourth annual Night of the Devil Slayers Halloween Show at Rocketown! The night was perfect. So many of our friends' bands played! It was definitely the biggest party Nashville has seen in a while.

I'm amazed every time we play Nashville at the amount of amazing kids I get to meet. The shows just keep growing and there are some awesome kids coming out showing their support of our band and more importantly the Nashville scene.
