HEY EVERYBODY,ITS DEREK, WE ARE IN SALEM NC. ITS ACTUALLY A NICE DAY. THE VIDEO IN LA WE SHOT WAS GREAT. WE WOKE UP AT 5AM AND DIDNT GET HOME UNTIL 12AM THAT NIGHT. IT WAS A LONG DAY. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. I THINK THE SILLOUETTES VIDEDO WILL BE OUR BEST ONE YET. THE PLANE RIDE TO ATL WAS A LITTLE SCAREY. THERE WAS A STORM AND WE HAD TO CIRCLE AROUND WILL THE WHOLE PLANE WAS SHAKING. I CANT WAIT TILL I NEVER HAVE TO FLY AGAIN. BUT WE MADE IT.
THE SHOW IN COLUMBIA WAS COOL, IT SNOWED THAT NIGHT, AND THE SHOW IN CHARELSTON, NC WAS AWESOME. THE HEADLINING IS FUN. I LOVE BEING UP ON A RISER ITS COOL. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO IS COMING OUT, YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THIS TOUR KICK ASS.. OH AND SORRY ABOUT THE BIRMINGHAM SHOW KAREN AND EVERYBODY ELSE. WE HAD TO SHOOT THE VIDEO AT THAT TIME. WE ARE VERY SORRY, AND WE ARRE TRYING TO RESCHEDULE. SORRY, SORRY, AND STEPHANIE OTHER BANDS WE LIKE ARE THE DEFTONES, RADIOHEAD, PEARLJAM, AND STP. I LOVE THE NEW BILLY TALENT RECORD AS WELL. IT ROCKS. WE FILMED THE DAY AT THE SHOOT, AND DID A VIDEO JOURNAL, SO THAT SHOULD BE ONE THE WEB SITE SOON
OH AND ALLY, MY DOG IS AN AUSTRAILIAN SHEPARD. BLACK, SUPER CUTE BUT A REAL PAIN IN MY BUTT. I TRIED TO TEACH HIM HOW TO PLAY DEAD WHEN I PRTENDED TO SHOOT HIM, BUT I GAVE UP. NOW WHEN I DO IT HE DUCKS DOWN, SO ID LIKE TO THINK THAT HES DODGING THE BULLET, KIND OF LIKE ON THE MATRIX..
ANY WAYS, I GOT TO GO, TALK TO YALL SOON.

DEREK....DEREK...DEREK
Hey guys its ryan, i know derek just did a journal entry yesterday but i thought i might let you guys know what happened last night at the show in columbia mo. it was a good rock show, there were over 800 kids in attendance at the rockshow. after we played we went back to the bus and some one had tagged in red spray paint with a stock cap "TCMC". . I guess tcmc is some toy ass crew. We had the spraypaint removed off the side of the bus this morning in atlanta. If any of you guys or gals write out there and see a tcmc tag, buff that shit or throwup on top of it. I write but i have respect, and i wont hit a tour bus that is someones home. oh well we have a day off today in atlanta so i think i might watch the superbowl or try to catch up with family and friends because its so hard to do that on the road.
