Lights Over TaLL

I woke up really late today since I went out with Derek and some friends from Sum41 last night.  Needless to say why.  I did wear my brand new LA hat last night to the bar and woke up with it missing; not cool.  

Today pretty much kicked major ass.  I got to the venue around 1PM after my first time eating White Castle and it was scorching hot.  The humidity really was kicking in and I felt like I just got out of the pool after walking around for no more than 3 minutes.  I got to the Lights Over Paris tent and immediately began meeting new fans.  Some kids had already heard the single on the radio but most were walking up blindly.  It’s great to see people put on the headphones and dancing within the first 10 seconds of a song being played.  We ran out of EVERY Cd we had, so I pretty much signed posters with DJ Shiny and met all the really cool bands that the Nation team has been traveling with for the past few months. 

At 7PM Sum41 went on stage right after The Casualties played (punk band I grew up listening to).  I haven’t seen Sum 41 play since 2002 when they played with Fenix TX and The Used at the Glasshouse in Pomona, CA.  The show rocked and being on stage was great inspiration to continue writing great music to be able to be in that spot one day.

I am now sitting in the van heading to Chicago where I am hopping on another plane to take a few meetings and writing sessions over in New York.  Ohio to Kentucky to Indiana to Illinois to NY in less than 8 hours!  I need to take a nap!
