Sleep When You're Dead

The past two days have been epic. We had a blast playing for a bunch of music students in the Powerchord Academy at Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL. They were all between 12 - 18 years old and total prodigies. They performed after our set and were just incredible. We were as pumped to talk with them and see them perform as they were with us.

Then we packed up and drove 40 minutes south to Miami to jump back on the Warped Tour. We got a good night's sleep and showed up ready to rock. As soon as we pulled into the parking area downtown just near the water, we got the phone call saying that we wouldn't be playing today. Turns out that our East Coast Independent Stage got wet the day before and wasn't going to be used so we had nowhere to perform. It was a total bummer at first - but we made the best of it. We ended up meeting a TON of new fans and some old fans - including some kids from Powerchord the night before. We had a blast.

After Miami we ended up having to drive through the night in order to make it up to Elkton in time for Warped Tour today. We slept in a motel for about 4 hours tops with an air conditioner that had to be gerry-rigged with a binder jammed against the plug to keep it pumping the cold air through the night. All four hours of it.

But we made a ton more fans. Look for the footage to be uploaded in the next week. It's been tough to get everything out there for you to see since we've been spending our time either at a fairgrounds with no power nearby or in the van with no ability to actually capture the footage, etc.
