I’m in a contemplative mood.  I think aside from getting to be around the people I love, (and of course my puppy) my favorite part about being home is the little amount of time I get to myself.  Touring constantly wears on you as a person, especially when you can’t find any time to reflect on who you are and where you are.  On tour you’re always with people and there’s almost always something exciting going on.  So it’s always good to get home, and find an hour to sit and do nothing but think.  And then maybe read a book.

When we were writing our last record we spent a lot of time reflecting, and a lot of time questioning ourselves.  Hence the title, Who Are You Now? And it’s awesome to see how much more poised and at least how much more comfortable we are in life as we write more music.  I can’t wait to see what else we will come up with.

I’m working on a lot of projects right now.  I’m writing some music with 2 of my best friends and opportunity willing, we’ll have something to show you within the next few months.  I’m still planning on setting up a little online photo gallery/store if anyone is interested in getting some prints.  I’m still sorting through my tens of thousands of photos on my hard drives and seeing what’s worth throwing up there, as well as planning some trips to just take more photos.  And also playing out the ideas of another small photojournalism project.  I’ll let you know as soon as I know.. Haha.

I wanna see some more of your guys’ art as well.  We got some incredible pieces from some of you on the Let’s Make a Mess tour.  And I’ve still got them all.  Let’s see your creative side on the ‘Bout Damn Time tour!

See you soon!

I was only about 2 hours away from home. I was driving and needed take a potty break. Now it would be most inconvenient to actually stop at a gas station, find parking, wait for people to shop etc…. so as we usually do, I just pulled over on the shoulder of the off ramp and proceeded to relieve myself. Right when I was finishing I heard a very UNfamiliar voice say something to me. I looked over my shoulder and as I was shaking the drips I realized there was a cop standing right behind me. After a few empty threats to take me in and put a indecent exposure charge on my record, he let me go with the advice to “make better decisions next time.” How about you just let me pee and go catch some bank robbers and drug dealers. Anyways, we made it home to the gorgeous greens, the crisp air, and beautiful Washington sky. I couldn’t be happier than to be here.

IN OTHER NEWS!

It’s ‘Bout Damn Time we did a headlining tour!

That’s right! Finally, you will get to see This Providence in all their glory, playing a longer set, having more fun that ever, and just being awesome! Hahaha. (well, hopefully awesome) We are stoked to announce today that we will be doing our first ever headliner with some great bands: The Audition, Anarbor, The Bigger Lights, and Artist Vs. Poet (on select dates).

I’ve heard more and more people just asking us and bugging us this year to do a headliner. It’s long overdue, but we are stoked to finally get to do this. A few things you may want to know. We will be playing Who Are You Now? in its entirety within our set. We are going to make a list of old songs that we can play and will have someone go down the line before the show so you can vote. So we will have a varied set list every night. We will be doing a meet-and-greet for the fist 20 people in line at each show where we will be playing a couple acoustic songs and even a new unreleased song that you’ll only be able to hear at the meet and greet.

We have the best fans in the world. It doesn’t matter what tour, when we play on the bill, how far away we are… you know who you are! You’re the ones who are always first in line and always at the front of the barricade singing every word to every song and even when no one else at the show really cares for us, you guys make it worth it. So we are stoked to finally have a tour for you!

See you soon!
