Ari...I know you were heading to the NY show. What has the feedback from the guys been.....and what has the feedback from the clubs been? Are the guys feeling the crowd....feeling that it is a good tour (other than the accident of course)? Also....how have the crowd sizes been? We are all hoping for a successful tour!!! Thanks again for keeping us all in the loop. We are all very grateful! The communication has had quite a positive impact on the fans here.....that seems to be the consensus  Take care.... Michele |

Good questions Michele!!! And thanks for asking...
The band and I had a private meeting in the green room last night for about an hour, and I couldn't be more excited about the energy and vibe. The guys are FEELING IT! We have a gameplan in place for the next 12 months of touring, and it looks beautiful. They've been loving the rooms we had on this tour, and while a few places has just modest attendance... they have been more than stoked about stuff. Also, there was talk about the CD release and CD release tour, which all will be in upcoming news. I'll let Troy and the band break that good news to you guys, unless they make my ass burp it out. My hopes are that we can put a bigger publicity and promotions plan in place for the next tour, since I have much more time to plan it (i was just hired in june for this july tour). More hype to the press, radio, and other media, will be a big step into helping make each stop a sell-out, or close to.
The clubs and promoters are very happy so far. Charlotte was upset about the cancellation, but already booked back for the Fall tour. Baltimore is going to happen again, and they did just over 300 paid which is considered a sell-out there. NYC was 255 paid, which is also considered a sell-out... and you guys did great with over 175 pre-sold tickets, which they said NEVER happens. Buying those pre-sales gets the promoters very, very excited, which is why I always encourage you to buy in advance if you can - and normally it's cheaper than door price.
Great stuff all around. Me and the boys did a little bonding last night, and I couldn't be more excited for the next 6-12 months. Lots and lots of great stuff coming!!!
ARI
ps. I will be in Norway (wherever that is?) from 8pm (est) on Wed (7/14) through next Monday night (7/19). So, if you guys have questions and stuff, and don't see me posting, you know why. I will get back to everyone next week though!

Cannot wait to hear the album news - thanks Ari for all the info and its great to see the guys being promoted so well - lets hope it finally gives the guys the break they deserve. Jules |

HELL Yeah! Over 300 in Baltimore? Excellent!!
Now I know that a lot of those tix were sold last-minute at the door, but we certainly promoted the show here. I'll be sure for next time to put "buy tix in advance" on the flyers.
Glad to hear that the guys are psyched. Can't wait for the official announcement about the new album.
And, just to let you know: the promo team is standing by - ready to promote the HELL out of the new album and tour.
Cheers!
