This time last night we were in Hattiesburg,MS @ The Bottling Co @ the last show of the tour with Cold. Drew and Mike had been COLD fans since go and were beyond geeked to be on the road opening up. I'm gonna be honest and admit that going into this tour I was only familiar with "Stupid Girl" which ironically enough they didn't even play for the first 2 weeks but I found myself show after show becoming more involved in listening and watching what COLD did every night on stage. From go it was obvious they had incredible fans and it didn't take long to realize why. COLD is not only a great band but more important great people. So humble, polite, respectful and appreciative of the position they have been put in. It was so refreshing to see and meet a band like that. Over the weeks opportunities came about and we all got to know one another on and off the stage from day to day. Respect was flowing and it was apparent a connection had been made between us. We have been on tours before where for whatever reasons time to connect isn't allowed or isn't created and thats all good but when that connection is made with band and crew it really is a traveling family from city to city. That is exactly what we were fortunate enough to experience this time around. Very Thankful. So while there are a ton of memories that we have all been blessed with on this tour my favorite is obviously when I got to go up onstage last night with my friends Scooter, Jeremy, Sam, Zach and MH singing a song that until Aug 27th I had never heard before "Anti-Love Song". It was so powerful to be welcomed into the love that is COLD. I will never forget it. We cannot wait to see yall again at the top of the year! The NEW ALBUM is gonna be ridiculous!!!
Thank You so much Scooter, Jeremy, Sam, Zach, MH, Jeremy Bubbles Jerome, Matt, Josh and Tominatior for welcoming us in.
