Sorry to you all for missing blog times last week. I was a slacker and beg for forgiveness!

Now on to more important matters…on the 17th, we played a show in North Carolina and you may be thinking ‘well that’s not really anything new,’ but you would be so wrong. This day started for me with an encounter with Dave. He had some buttons on his shirt that he was quite excited about. They weren’t just any old buttons… they were 4 buttons of the different band members of Stryper…they were buttons that he has had since the late ’80s when he was a fan…they were buttons that he kept for just such an occasion as this… the day we were playing a show with Stryper…and his mission was to get them all signed.

Let me just report to you that not only did Dave get them all signed, but he got to hang out with Oz in his dressing room, which was after Oz stood side stage and watched our whole show. We all stopped by to say hi to Oz, who was so super nice and actually knew one of our songs, Big Star Machine.

That night the whole tour stood side stage to watch one of Christian music’s legends rock like only they know how. Here are a couple lil clips of the show:

The next day our show was in Arlington, VA . We have played this show for this youth conference many times before, and let me just say that you guys once again did not disappoint. It was an awesome show! And we had time during the day this time to actually go out and see some sights. We went to Arlington Cemetery. What an awesome and very emotional place. It makes me very proud of our country and the men and women that continue to put there lives in harms way for our freedom. Here are some pictures from our lil outing:

Well I am about to go to bus call so hopefully I will see some of your faces in Texas and until then, stay classy…

Hello Superchickers!

So we just finished our third weekend of our tour, and it just keeps getting better! Every town we pull into does not disappoint. We have seen some familiar faces who are the faithful Superchick following that continue to rock with us. And we have seen a lot of new faces who have given us a try and are now new friends!

I wanna take a second to say thank you for all the support Tricia and I got last week. For those of you who haven’t heard, our mom had a heart attack last week. It was scary, and Tricia and I spent the first night in ICU at the hospital with her just praying. By the next day, she was looking much better and they took the breathing tube out and she was talking before we had to leave for bus call.

I’m happy to report that yesterday, Mom went home! They still have to go back in and clear some more blockage in her artery but they wanna wait ’til she is stronger. But for now, things are looking good and we are celebrating still having our mom. Thanks so much to everyone on Facebook and at the shows and all around the world who have been praying for mom. Your support has been amazing!

Alright, so like I said the shows have all been great. Two shows from last weekend won the award for rockin’ crowds. Saturday was Power of One in Wisconsin and you guys are like a second home, so we knew it would be a great show – and it was! Here’s a lil clip to show your awesomeness:

The other show that rocked was in me and Tricia’s home state of Indiana. We saw lots of new faces and some familiar, and we had so much fun with you guys. Here’s a lil clip from the home state:

Well, I’m off to get some things done. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the shows coming up this weekend! Until then…
