Hi Friends,
In the spirit of all the Best Of '06 lists going around I thought I'd post my own personal Year End Best Of Tour '06 List! My categories consist of a few things most important to me on tour... coffee, catering, supermarkets, etc. Maybe one of the other guys will chime in with their Best Of '06 Movie picks or favorite CD's of the year. Although I think I speak for all of us when I say that the new James Bond movie totally ruled.
Thanks to everyone that came out to see us on tour this year! See you in '07.
xoxo,
Max
