WE WANT YOUR PICTURES!!!

Ok, so we will be posting a BRAND NEW LAYOUT very soon.  It's going to be absolutely sweet with a bunch of cool stuff and we are anxiously awaiting the day it goes live.

Before it hits the page we need YOUR help! It's pretty simple, so here's what's up.

We're going to be posting up a new section in our photos labeled "The Hoodies = <3" and it will be dedicated to our fans. We want everyone to take the phrase "The Hoodies = <3" and do whatever they want with it. Do something simple like write it on your hand in sharpie, or do something extreme like buy one of those planes and write it in the sky, we don't care, but we want you all to be SUPER creative. Once you get it figured out, do it, then take a picture of it and send it to us (send us a message with the link to the image) and we're putting it in our photos section. The coolest ones, the most creative, will make it on the new layout in a slideshow we'll have posted RIGHT on the page so GET CREATIVE!

READY?
SET!?
GO!!!!

P.S. - THERE IS NO DEADLINE!!! These pictures will be on the myspace forever and we want people to constantly send us new ones, and new people to send us pictures. We want the slideshow to constantly get new creative images too. You can submit one today, and submit another one tomorrow if you want.

TOUR UPDATE 2

We've been in Connecticut for a few days now, and so far the shows here have been great. Thanks to all the kids who have come out, sang along, bought merch, or just hung out with us the past few days. I can't even begin to describe how much we appreciate it! Today was the first day off so far, and also the first van trouble we've had. We had to get two wheel bearings replaced, which set us back $400, but its better than a wheel falling off on the highway I guess. We spent a good portion of the day at the Danbury Mall being mall rats. I found Snapple Orangeade (me and Paul's favorite drink of all time) so I was happy. Tomorrow we're in Hamden, then on to New Hampshire. Special thanks to the Priest family for letting us stay with them the past two nights! They're wonderful people and we love them!

TOUR UPDATE 1
Current mood: vince lombardi

SUP KIDZ? We're sitting at our friend Britton's house in Connecticut soaking up some internets right now and we just wanted to check in. Thanks to those of you who came out to our hometown show on Friday night, it was awesome to see you guys and to kick off this tour right! I also want to take this opportunity to formally apologize on behalf of our band to anyone that had issues with security Friday night. We were not informed until AFTER doors had opened that people under 16 needed to be accompanied by an adult. Technically this has been the venue's policy for awhile, but it has NEVER been enforced in our years of playing there. Why it was an issue Friday night I'm not sure. We're working on making sure that doesn't happen again. I think we were able to get almost everyone in, but if anyone wasn't able to attend the show on account of security, we're very sorry. We had some heated arguments with the venue staff, and hopefully everyone who came and bought a ticket was able to see the show!

The past two nights in New Jersey were great! Mainstage was fun as always, and today we played at The Saint in Asbury Park. We've never been there before, but it was a pretty sweet place. You know what wasn't a sweet place though? The "Vince Lombardi Service Area" in northern New Jersey. Have you ever paid $10.29 for a Burger King value meal? I have. It sucks. I had a whopper with cheese, a medium "frypod" and a medium root beer. I lied. That was a bargain at $8.06, but the steakhouse burger meal was seriously $10.29. Do you know what happens when "automatic toilets" stop working? Well they aren't automatic anymore. And there's no way to flush them. It's disgusting. And unusable. Joey and I helped ourselves to a fistful of zesty and barbecue sauces for the road to even the score a bit, but long story short: DO NOT GO TO THE VINCE LOMBARDI SERVICE AREA. Great coach, not so great rest stop.

Do you like my little stories? Do you care? Do you read them? Do you love me? Could you ever love me?

Video from LA/Purevolume homepage! READ THIS NOW.
Current mood: blessed

So I got home this morning from a rather lengthy evening at about 3 AM and was VERY surprised to see that we are the main featured artist on Purevolume.com. A special thank you to all the guys over there that were kind enough to give us that spot! Check that out when you get a chance!

Check us out on the Purevolume homepage!

ALSO, there is a video on Purevolume that I put together from LA. Watch Joey cry. See Paul drum. Check out Brandon's dancing. And watch me film it all and edit safely from behind a computer screen. Its good to be the king.

Click here to watch the video!
