Tom Petty!

Freaking rocked it last night! those guys did so great! i'm also stoked that i was able to get my tickets for his july show in cincinnati, i can't wait.

key west, mexico, and free ice cream

Well the cruise is all done and now I'm sitting in the Ft. Lauderdale airport waiting for my flight back home to Nashville. It was such a good time! We played three shows. My highlight was getting to play a new song off our new record called "Half Our Lives", I play lap steel on that song so it was a lot of fun for me. I highly recommend a cruise for a vacation. The food is all included (which was amazing) and you can eat free ice cream anytime you want! How sweet is that.
One of our stops was Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We got to go to a beach resort for the day. It was sweet! These are some photos from that day.

Also when we were in Key West, Florida my brother and I made a stop at the southernmost point in the U.S., nice..
I will post some more photos when I get home. Right now I'm downloading the season premiere of LOST and I don't want to slow down the bandwidth. haha. more to come.

cruisin'

so tomorrow we leave on a cruise for the week! we are playing on the klove music cruise and i'm very excited because my brother is coming with me. its gonna be sweet.
see ya guys. i'll have lots of pictures to post when i get back

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.

Learning to blog

Well, this is my first ever blog entry. I was trying to create a good title for my page by inserting the word "blog" into a title of a Tom Petty song. I ended up using "Bloggin down a dream" because i figured more people would get the joke that way. There were a few good canidates however.

Such as:
I won't blog down
Don't blog around here no more
Love is a blog road
American blog
Blogged again (I don't like it)
Blogs on the run
The wild blog, forever
Mary's new blog (that would have made no sense)
Mary Janes last blog (the runner up)
Free bloggin'
I need to blog
Don't blog me like that
Even the bloggers
Here comes my blog
I'll blog a whole lot better
Yer so blog
The apartment blog
You don't blog how it feels
Don't blog on me
Honey blog

Anyways, you get the point. I probably should have just called it "Learning to blog" since I don't really know what I'm supposed to do on here. Have I mentioned that I love Tom Petty yet?
More to come....
