Let's take a trip back to my last post, we were back in the studio with Johnny K on a secret mission! Maybe that will be announced soon, but who really can tell these days? I had spent 6 weeks growing out a beard for my Halloween Costume, (Chuck Norris) and when Halloween finally arrived, I had been procrastinating so long that I did not have the rest of the costume! Gah! But for the first time in 3 years, we were actually home that night and we didn't have a show, so it was a pretty quiet and under-the-radar type of night.
A few days later, we were on the road again in Hartford, CT, with Seasons After and New Medicine, and soon after, Atom Smash joined the other 3 of us for a month long tour around the East Coast. I recommend checking out these bands if you haven't already, they're great guys!
Thanksgiving was spent in Williamsburg, VA with country artist Johnny St.Clair, who was an amazing host, and gifted Dave with a new guitar at the end of the night.
We returned home to Grand Rapids in December, and started to prepare for the end-of-year show at the Orbit Room, Dec. 18th.
Christmas came around, like it always does, and everyone got to spend time with family and friends. I spent a week and a half in Bellaire, and I got some amazing robot-print pajama pants that my aunt made me, as well as 7 lbs. of hot cocoa mix! I'm set for a few months, now. New Year's was a quick trip to Louisville, KY, only myself and the 5 guys went down for that show, and had a great evening!
Now here we are in January, getting set up for the first of 3 shows this weekend, and I'm quickly writing this out while TourVid 13-3 is rendering in the background. Damn, these things take forever! Dave is starting to get into the video-editing field of things as well, so I get a new assistant! Haha! Look for his video, a mix of old and new footage, some of which you've seen before, some you haven't, coming in the next few days!
Does anyone indent paragraphs anymore? I've noticed a general down-turn in the literary skills of the nation, I blame texting and instant messaging. Computers will end us all, I swear!
So next month we hook up with Rev Theory, Hail the Villain, The Black Cloud and Aranda for the Monster Energy '11 Tour, we're all super stoked! Hopefully we'll be in a city near you! Check out our tour dates on our facebook page, as well as PopEvil.com to find out! Alright, I gotta get back to these videos. Keep on rockin!
