Warped Tour 2009 (Orlando, FL)

What a great day of concerts! However, I can honestly say it was the hottest day of my life! 110' at one point!!!

My first concert of the day was Attack Attack! Their screamer, Nick Barham, sounded just as good live (if not better) than on the CD. And i'm pretty sure they did all their effects live!


I have always wanted to see Forever The Sickest Kids, but have never gotten to. They were better than I ever imagined them to be. Lead singer, Jonathan Cook, connected with the crowed like he had known us forever! Plus, their 3 part harmony was just as good as on the CD.


Underoath. There isn't much I can say about them that their fans don't already know. Aside from being in a huge, rough most pit the whole time(which was, for the most part, expected) they were absolutely incredible! One of the tightest band I have heard in my life. I would love to see them again, along with everyone I saw at Warped Tour!

WV State Youth Camp 2009

This past week has been a long one! Good but long!
Monday to Thursday we played at the West Virginia Church of God State Youth Camp....it was amazing! We met some fun and crazy new people, got to know each other better, and has some good times! We went to the New River and climbed rocks on the shore of it. Played a good game of golf cart tag at 2am. Slid down the biggest slip and slide i've seen in my life. And experienced the Mystery Hole! lol
Good times, but VERY tired now!
New video of the camp will be up soon!

To Start The Tour: Lets Run Out of Gas

Thursday night on the way home from practice at 12am, Dave realized that he forgot to get gas. We got stranded on the interstate for 45 minuets, took some crazy pictures and video, and then my dad brought us gas. The video will be on the podcast i'm posting tomorrow.
Here are some pictures we took while we were waiting for gas...

New CD and June/July News!

So...
June was soooooooo incredibly busy i only got to post 2 blogs...
I am going to try to start blogging soon after things happen, so we will see how that works out..

To start where i left off...
Like my last blog said, i had an incredible time in Atlanta.


I also got to go to Alive festival in Ohio. I Had a great time, but it was unbelievably muddy. Unless you were there camping, you wouldn't even know the half of it..lol... There, i got to meet and talk to Anberlin! I also got a picture with them that you will never see, because i accidentally deleted it before i had a chance to put it on my computer=[...However, even though i am deeply sad about that, i just figure it means i will have to go see them again so i can get another picture=]
I also saw skillet who was the high light, and always is, of the festival. If you haven't seen them live, you have to. Even if you don't like them on CD, you will like them live, I promise!


Hawk Nelson is better than ever now! I saw them at Alive Festival, but they got rained out half way through.
But I did get to go see them in Grayson KY on June 23rd, and they have never been so good. They did a great job, and i am super excited to see what they have done with their upcoming record!



And last but not least for this month...
We(the turn around) finally got our record finished!
I am loving it, and i can't wait for everyone to hear it! It will be available to buy online July 13th!
