Hey Everybody!
Johnny here again. We are about 6 shows-deep into our "new" tour with Flyleaf. The shows have been amazing (sold-out or nearly sold-out) and the crowds, electric!! Having said that now, sometimes "life as a rockstar" isn't as glorious as some might think...Night before last, we played a show in Seattle, WA. We had a long drive, later that night....800 miles to be exact, for a day-off in lovely...San Francisco, CA. You can do a little math, with MPH times, as many miles....divided by the square root of my dogs feet...or something....and you come up with about a good 13 or 14 hour drive. Also, keep in mind, band and crew travel on (1) bus...that's 12 people total... and a driver....makes 13. We were almost at the end of our very long journey, when our bus decided to "crap-out" on us, about 17 miles outside of San Fran. Can you believe it? These things are designed to to go for millions of uninterrupted miles....and this happens. Well, I don't have to tell you how frustrated everyone was or...explain to you how a bus can smell, with 13 people...but, I CAN!! Take 12 pairs of sweaty shoes, times a nights worth of morning breath and divide it by....no air conditioning....and what do you come up with? (I know you didn't think, there was going to be so much math involved) = Funky!!! So, finally after about an hour or so....2 hotel-shuttle vans arrived to take us into town, and finally to our hotel rooms. So, as I am writing this, its about 11 pm of my so-called "day-off". Oh well...Tomorrow is a show day, and playing my drums is my idea of a good time anyway!...Also, it's stories like these that you really remember, for years to come!! Believe me...you can't forget that smell!

All the best - Johnny

After everything I've heard about your shows, I can't wait to see you guys in Louisville, Ky next month! Hope your trip to KY is better than the one in San Fran. In the mean time--I'm totally wearing out the new CD.

I have to agree, that is some pretty bad ass math. I am in calculus right now, and I wish I could rock that logic. Bummer about the bus, I know how you feel. About two years ago my entire class went on a trip to Aneheim (I live in Tahoe, so its a long drive), and half way down there the bus(charter bus btw) got a flat, then as soon as they fixed it and everyone got back on the bus the plumbing overfloaded!!! Needless to say it sucked. Then we had to wait for another bus to come pick us up. It was a long night...But yeah, I was at your show in San Fran last night, it was killer!!!!!!!!! You guys fucking rock, and you fucking know it too!!!!!!!! You absolutely slayed the crowd, it was awsome!!! Hope the next show goes just as great, minus the whole bus fiasco.

John, you do the best math I've ever seen. I wish that my teachers would accept it on tests. I would always use it.
That bus thing sucks. At least everyone made it in one piece.

Hope you guys are enjoying the tour =].
