Hey guys and girls,

 We've been out on this headlining run for a month now so I thought it was time for an update. The bus we travel on now has a decent internet connection so we're able to stay connected a little easier, as you may have noticed in the forums section.

 This is the first headlining tour we've done in a while. We had a great time touring with Nickelback this summer but it sure is nice to do our own shows, in front of our own fans. Every time we headline, we hear from the opening acts about how cool our fans are. The show is always a great vibe, people having a good time, just enjoying themselves. That makes us proud and even more appreciative.

 We're getting to play some songs on this tour that we've never played before. We're experimenting with songs (josh plays a stand up bass on More Than a Memory, Running away and Pieces both have pleasant surprises during the bridge) and we're playing a longer set than we normally play. We've been honing our backup vocal skills (Josh, Dan and I), something we've yet to try in our 12 year career as a band.

 Hopefully it's adding a much needed element to the songs and not too hard on the ears.

 We're proud to share the stage with our friends in Halifax and Agent Sparks. Both are great bands and very decent as people.

 We've been through some weather on this run. Unseasonably warm weather in South Carolina and Florida, typical ass freezing weather in Michigan, NY and PA. Almost everyone on the bus has had some sort of cough/cold/flu in the last month. I think we're in the clear now, at least there's no more snow on the ground.

 We really appreciate all of you that were able to make it out to a show for making them what they are: a LOTof fucking fun! The rest of you that weren't able to make it, we love you too, hopefully we'll see you next time. To all that we will see in the next couple weeks: We can't wait to put on the best show you've ever seen.

 Take care all

 peace

Chris
