So, after 2 weeks, one new trailer axle, 4 new trailer tires, and 7 shows, we are finally making our exit from the great Lonestar state. We had a show yesterday in San Antonio for a radio show along with Augustana, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Katherine McPhee, and our boys in Blue October. We had a great time hanging with everyone and the guys finally got a chance to catch Augustana live for the first time. All the performances were great and we hope to play more shows with all of the acts again in the future. We tried to hire Kathering McPhee's back up singer/dancers to go on the road with us, but Matthew couldn't get the choreography down for Control, so we had to scratch the idea. The guys were excited however to play the entire set with a 30 foot wide backdrop of her face behind them the entire set, so all was good. And I am also happy to report that I finally replaced the microphone stand of Matthew's that I lost in the middle of the Pete Yorn tour, so expect many new onstage acrobatics and rock star microphone stand stunts.

So, I never thought that I would be saying this, but the opportunity to go play our next 2 shows in Nebraska sounds pretty great at this juncture in time. We are finishing out our last show with Blue October tomorrow night, and then doing a few headline dates before returning to Birmingham for a few days of much needed rest. Be sure to check the calendar for some new dates in South Carolina, and a new headlining date in Birmingham. Hope to see you all soon-
