'Come Around' In Stores Now!

Hello everyone! Here is a quick update since my last blog entry.

Last time I sent a blog, we were about to play in Manchester! That show was insane and Pat rocked out so hard he punctured his chin with his guitar and had to get stitches. Crazy right? After Manchester we played in Birmingham. Birmingham was really cool. We explored the downtown shopping center and had lunch at a Pizza Hut. After Birmingham we played a festival in Leeds known as the "Slam Dunk Festival". The festival was insane and friends of ours like Cobra Starship, We The Kings, Hey Monday, Cash Cash, The Audition and You Me at Six performed. We got to hang out with all of our friends and perform for one of the best crowds we've had thus far. Before the doors were open, Pat and I walked the line of kids and handed out free stickers with our stage name and the time we were playing at on the back. There were roughly 5,000 people who attended the festival. Needless to say, we ran out of stickers very quickly. We played on the "Punktastic" stage which was in the basement of the college campus. There were five stages total. There was one Main Stage and the others differed in size. Before we played, we watched our friends in Cash Cash perform and Hey Monday followed them. After we played we got to watch We The Kings, Cobra Starship and You Me at Six. The Main Stage room became 200 degrees and the kids were insane! When the festival ended the Main Stage room became a dance club and everyone at the festival got to hang out with each other and all the kids who were over 18 got to stay as well. Most of the bands at the festival had a day off the next day so we all stayed up really late.

The next morning Pat, Nate, Kieren and myself walked around downtown looking for some food. Pat and Nate went to McDonald's while Kieren and I went to Subway. Alex Suarez (Cobra Bass) walked into Subway and joined us for lunch. We then later found a grocery store and stocked up on some food. We walked back to the bus and began watching movies. I'm a huge movie fanatic and I brought with me movies such as: "Little Monsters", "Drop Dead Fred", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 & 4", "National Lampoons Senior Trip/Loaded Weapon Double Feature", "Child's Play 1,2,3,4 & 5", "Back To The Future Trilogy" and "Pineapple Express". Plus many more! We had a fantastic movie festival last night. Thats all I have for now but stay tuned for more news on the Cobra Starship/Sing It Loud/Cash Cash/ Mimi Soya UK Tour!

CHEERS!
