Good Morning Atlanta and Happy Birthday to...

Aaron! He turns 24 today. Looks like we're gonna have to party tonight! And what a perfect night to do it in....Atlanta. One of my favorites. Good times, good people. Let's back up a bit though, shall we?

Last night we rocked Palmetto/Sarasota, Florida. It was a Warped Tour off-day, and we definitely passed the venue a couple of times before actually finding it. Turns out the venue was on the backside of a Mexican restaurant. That made a first for me personally. I've never played at a Mexican restaurant. But whatever. We pulled in and hung out for a little while the Plain White T's had their soundcheck and got comfy. I got comfy myself by hitting up Sonic, whose Cherry Limeade is the perfect summertime companion.

We got back, soundchecked, hung out, and had a great show. Kenny and Aaron's mom came and so did our friend Kelly. We planned on going to Chili's for a Aaron's birthday, but unfortunately, we were blocked in from leaving. Bummer. So what did we do? Oh. I'll tell you. We went classy and ordered Pizza Hut and drank diet coke.

So why am I so excited about playing at the home of the Braves, Hawks, Thrashers, and Falcons you ask? Two words. Norma Jean. These guys are some of my oldest friends, and they're jumping on the tour for a few days starting today. It's been a long time since I've been on the road with these dudes, so I'm more than stoked. The only bummer is that we've only got three more warped dates left before we take a twenty day break. I'm definitely excited about getting home for a bit, and I'm really excited about seeing Silverchair at the end of the month! But missing the east coast is going to sting a little bit. Speaking of that, our dates are starting to roll in for the make-up shows we'll be doing in early September! We'll be making an announcement about that really soon! Keep your ears open!

It's too dang early to be awake. Ugh.
