There’s a southern accent where I come from…..

I’m writing this entry from our van on the way to our first of four shows this weekend. Today we play a show in Ocala, Florida. The Whiplash picked Dan and I up in Nashville yesterday and we drove all the way to Valdosta, Georgia last night. Matt, Chris, and Mark are flying right now from Detroit to meet us in Ocala. I was slightly jealous that they were flying instead of driving with us, but then I didn’t care anymore once I realized that we were driving through Gainesville today, the hometown of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! I was stoked. So as we drove through I put on a little Tom Petty soundtrack to listen to. First I put on “Hometown Blues” and then closed it out with one of my favorites, “Southern Accents”.


Then a great thing happened when we found the “hecho en Mexico” coke at a gas station in Ocala. If you’ve never had coke made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup then you need to.

houston, we have a blogger.

I’m sitting several thousand feet in the air, in a window seat on flight number 614.



I thought I would write an entry for bloggin’ down a dream since my sidekick Chris does not seem to be up for conversation.


Matt, Chris, and I along with Grant Hubbard from the radio team at EMI are on our way to Houston to promote our new record (which comes out February 12th in case you didn’t know). Our first stop is KSBJ Houston, and then later this evening we will travel to Dallas for dinner with KLTY and an early morning stop at KLOVE tomorrow morning. It should be a pretty good time. I didn’t eat any breakfast so I’m hoping that guy behind me will hurry up with his basket of snacks and give me one. I’m starving!

I think I’ll take a nap. Goodbye for now.
