There's no place like home for the holidays

As 2009 winds to a close, we travel north, from Lafayette, LA, back home to Grand Rapids, MI. We're parked outside of a Bdubs in Bowling Green, KY at the moment, letting our driver catch some Zs.
What have we been up to, you may ask? Well back in October, we had an amazing show in Grand Prairie, TX, with Halestorm, Saving Abel, Puddle of Mudd, Chevelle and Alice in Chains. Days later, we embarked on our 2-month tour with Saving Abel, Red and Taddy Porter. (Side note; Leigh, Shane, Dylan and I just did double shots of Jager and Mountain Dew. Don't ever do that, it's awful.)
So Saving Abel and Pop Evil joined forces again, Starting in Corpus Christi, TX, and ending the tour short in Allentown, PA, Nov. 28th, due to some health-related problems. Shenanigans along the way included cruising through the streets in the bed of a pickup truck, "going to hell" in Cincinnati, OH, to Shane getting second-hand pepper sprayed in the vicinity of a bar fight. All of that led to a legendary night where our driver, Danny, became the first man we know of to ever crowd surf through a tour bus.
After all that, we did our own thing for a few, which ended up with a co-headlining show with Halestorm in Huntsville, AL, and Within Reason was there too. It was an amazing night, to cap off an amazing year. A big thank you to anyone and everyone that we met along the way, we could not have done it without each and every one of you!
When the new year begins, we will be heading back into the studio to continue work on the follow-up album to Lipstick on the Mirror.
For those of you in Michigan, don't forget about the Grand Rapids show at the Intersection Dec. 26th, as well as the New Year's show in Pontiac at the Crofoot Ballroom, Dec. 31st!
