Moosefest:

So we just got back from doing a quick one day trip up to Muskegon, Michigan for Moosefest, which is a great big outdoor festival put on by WMUS. The trip started off on a rough note. Now we are pretty used to flying to shows and we have come to learn which Airlines we have issues with and which we don’t, this trip we had issues. I won’t name the airline. Our flight out of Nashville ended up having to take on more fuel than expected due to some storms and so they were forced to kick 8 people off the flight, since we were already late enough that we would miss our connection we got off and attempted to figure out a way to get to Muskegon. We ended up getting a flight into Chicago and driving which worked out.

We stayed the night before the show in Michigan City at a Clarion, or something like that. In the morning we decided to hit the lovely morning buffet which basically was toast and hard boiled eggs. So Mike decided he was going to microwave his hard boiled eggs, the lady working there told him to be careful because they might explode. Mike didn’t listen. He put them in there and 30 seconds later, POP.. they exploded. So he got them out, cleaned up the microwave, and put his eggs on the table. Then POP… they exploded again all over the dining room. Mike apologized to the lady next to us, she didn’t mind, but she also didn’t realize she had a whole bunch of egg in her hair.

So then, off to the show. We played for 45 mins or so and the crowd was awesome. We decided during the show to try out a brand new song we had written the day before. It’s called “When I get low” and it went over pretty good, actually had people singing along by the end which is a good sign. After, we signed autographs for a while. Now most people had shirts from the show they wanted us to sign, so we wanted to sign next to where it said our name on the back, which happened to be at the very bottom, so if we accidentally touched anyone’s butts we apologize. Then Leslie signed a couple guys chests, they didn’t want Mike and I to sign. That’s ok by me. Then it was off to the airport and home. Good Show… Good Trip.

Finishing the record

Just thought I’d give everyone a heads up on how the album is coming along. Obviously, we have finished the first 5 songs, which are on the EP but we are getting very close to being done with next 8 songs.  We tracked the instruments here in Nashville and just recently got back from the Bahamas, where we put the vocals on them.  The studio we recorded at is called Compass Pointe and it is incredible.  Everyone from The Rolling Stones to Bob Marley to Iron Maiden has recorded there, just to name a few.  It’s the perfect place on the planet to sing vocals, you wake up to the sound of the ocean, have a little breakfast, maybe some rum…you’ve never been so relaxed.  Anyways, all we have left to do is sing one more song and put some piano parts on and then it will be ready to mix.  We are very proud of the way this album coming together and can’t wait for everyone to hear the new stuff.

Coconut Water

This is my new obsession and i felt i should spread the word. Coconut water.  Here’s why it is the greatest thing ever..

It has more potassium than bananas..
Promotes weight loss..
Boosts immune system naturally..
Raises metabolism..
Detoxified and fights viruses..
And tastes good!!

It basically is the best possible way to hydrate.  It is perfect for after you work out or any other reason you may be dehydrated. This stuff puts Gatorade to shame.  Personally, I drink O.N.E. coconut water.  You can get more info on there website.. Onenaturalexperience.com..

Halloween

So it’s Halloween again. That day of the year when girls dress up like naughty nurses or naughty firewomen or naughty dentists…etc. And guys throw together a costume at the last second and go out and act like idiots. It’s great isn’t it?! It’s also the day of the year that I practical overdose on reese’s peanut butter cups. Now, being that I don’t have the best track record for making decisions on Halloween, I won’t go into any details, but I’ve decided NO costume this year. Mike, Leslie, myself and some friends and family are gonna do a front yard BBQ and pass out candy. Before that, it is pumpkin carving with the nieces and nephews. Pretty excited, except for the fact that I recently found out that Leslie went to Target and bought Mike and I adult onesies to wear. I’m not sure how to spell it. You know, like a one piece outfit with footies for a baby, only these ones are for grown men. And they have monkeys for the feet. Thanks Leslie. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!
