It is seriously hotter than Satan's crotch here in Denver today. And walking between busses with generators spitting hot exhaust at you just makes you want to do ANYTHING to keep from having to go outside. Thus brings me to our weekly update.
Despite the heat, we are all having a BLAST on the SHOUT IT LOUD 2 Tour with our friends in BIG D. AND THE KIDS TABLE and THE SUBURBAN LEGENDS, as well as our friends in GOLDFINGER, who come back on the tour tomorrow after a brief hiatus. We're glad to welcome them back.
There's SO much to catch you guys up on, we might as well jump right in:
IN STORES, IN STORES , IN STORES
We are having an INSANELY good time doing in store appearances and we're pretty sure that everyone who came and saw one of them did too. We only have a few of them left on this tour, so here is an UP TO DATE LIST. If they are near you, come out, hang out, hear some songs and say "hey". We don't bite...except for Chris...

We even have our good friend, Andrea out there to...uh...man?...no....WOMAN! our tent. I didn't have a picture of her, but I DID have a picture of our tent....so this is my "artists rendition" of Andrea....what do ya think??
Well, after that smart ass comment you just muttered about how shitty my "artists rendition" is, you should still go to the tent that looks like that one. You'll see it. Go say Hi to Andrea. Get your FREE download laminante with exclusive songs and videos that ONLY are available through our Warped Tour tent!! Check out some T-shirts. Get some stickers. Buy Andrea a beer!!!
