Howdy Folks, We are 5 days into the Every Never is Now Tour with P.O.S. and Dessa and its going great. The start of the tour for us was in Austin and what a way to begin the tour. The show was awesome. So much energy in the room. It was our first night with all new merch and it went very well. 2nd night was home town Denton. And I've never seen a line so long to get into a hip hop show ever in

Andy has gone to his terminal. I can't check in for another hour. We have been in the frankfurt international airport since 9pm yesterday. Neither of us have slept. Andy was working on music for several hours and I had a few beers for his birthday and to be honest did nothing. Our touring for the year is over. Just have 2 more planes and I'll be home. I can't wait. Thanks to everyone who

To our friends in Prague sorry we didn't make it out to Klub 007 on Tuesday. Since Sunday we literally have been outside of the room a total of 3 hours. We have been sleeping like bears. We will be back rested and ready to hang in 2010. Thanks to all the great folks of the Czech Republic (Adam, Jana, Dialog Crew, Tereza, N.A.A.B., & Petr) I can't tell you how many times in the last week Andy and

So I know I know I haven't blogged much on this tour. I can think of many reasons. But lazy is really the only answer. We are off in Prague for 2 days. Today gave us much needed sleep. I think more sleeping tomorrow as well. The bottom line Andy and I are exhausted. We have toured 9 months this year and I have to go back and count how many shows but I bet over 200. Either way I'm not complaining

So our 4 days in germany are over and the shows were some of the best nights on this tour so far for merch. Last night in Köln we had a guest list full of great friends from all over the place. Couple people from germany, our friend from Australia that lives in amstredam now. Our great friend from the states that hasn't leave in the states in 5 years. So nice to people with great people on our

We just got into Berlin. We have several hours before we have to be at the venue. Which is great because we need to do laundry. It just so happens that today is Thanksgiving in America. This is the first time we have been on the road for Thanksgiving. So while america is off work watching football and eatting turkey or whatever it is you do for Thanksgiving. Andy and I are thankful to be in a

So tonight is the 3rd and last show in the UK. Last night in Manchester was sold out with 1000 screaming girls. Tonight is damn near sold out. Last night was on campus @ Manchester University. Tonight in Edinburgh, Scotland the show is in a super old theatre right next to this huge castle called Edinburgh Castle fitting, right! This tour so far has been unreal. The biggest crowds we have ever

As I type this I'm sitting on the 3 floor of the Shepherd Bush Empire in London. We have sound checked. Andy's taking a shower in our dressing room and I'm finally excited about this tour. We can never get to excited when we come to Europe because of the unknowns. This tour starts in the UK which all we have ever heard is getting into this country and being a "band" is nothing but a pain in the

FFFFest was astounding. I didn't see a single act that didn't bring their A-game--even with the wind, rain, and mud of day 2. Thanks to everyone who ran the fest and everyone who came out and made it funfunfun!

Bud ' I decided to pee on the side of I-80 in wyoming...mostly because we thought it would be funny. For those who don't know...the entire state of wyoming is a gant wind tunnel. I think 40% of my pee actually hit the ground! SUCCESS!!!

So we roll into Oakland from a long drive from San diego. We knew before hand that the Treasure Island Festival was going on this weekend. And we knew that Why? Was playing in San Fran to a Sold Out crowd. But we didn't know the Monsters of Folk were playing across the street from our show. So we figure out of the 3 shows we are 4th on folks list to come to our show. Lucky us and Sole we have

Howdy Folks!Last night was the start of our West Coast run with Sole and the Skyrider Band! Los Angeles was a great start. Many old friends and new friends. Probably drank alittle to much. But it was a great start to the tour. We had a short drive down to Saint Diego. This show isn't that great. But you win some you lose some. We got a hotel room 6 dudes 2 beds. Mad luxury.

Yup...it is that time again. That magical time of the year when we roll into the university of virginia to teach these brilliant minds the value of keg beer, sweating, dancing, and rapping loud. All in honor of Thomas Jefferson, the father of the UVA!

So it's been a few days since my last post. We have played 3 shows with Wax Tailor and one show without him in the 6 days we have been on the East Coast. The Wax Tailor shows have been really good. We didn't have a clue what the turn outs would be like and so far they have been well attended. Last night in Philly was the least in attendance. We got our Independence on today in Philly.

So as I sit in an Exit seat next to one of the 6 exit doors. I find out the pros and cons of this seat. First I had the daydreams of the pros of having the responsibility of handling the exit door in case of a emergency. And to make a long story short it involves hero parades and piles of girls with a side of hell yeah I get to throw a plane door out the side of the plane. The cons on the other
