Here’s a photo of us at Mt Rushmore. It was my first time going. It was pretty rad.
And here’s a couple more that I took (except for the one I’m in, a family we met took it)…

Full Moon Fever’s Long, Lost Twin & Twin Cities’ Minnesota Twins
17 Jul
We had a day off at Minneapolis yesterday and right in line with all days off in Minneapolis, it was full of adventure and dream-chasing. Now its typical for me to wake up and be confused, but this day I woke up especially confused as I looked out the window to see an identical bus parked next to ours, (named Full Moon Fever). Turns out the band, Bread of Stone, owns the exact same one. They saw us parked at the Mall of America and decided to come say hello. They were super nice folks. They told us that together we own two buses out of a fleet of three that was made for a band back in 1999. Maybe one day we’ll run into the third…the triplet.
From the mall, Pete and I took the train into the city where we wandered the U of M campus a bit and ate Punch Pizza, a spot we learned of from the infamous, the guapo, Jason Gray. Punch is one of only a couple certified Neapolitan pizza makers in the country. From what I’m told, this is as close to true Italian pizza as it comes. It’s good eating for sure.
Earlier in the day, before we left on the train, we met a nice couple from Chicago who were on their way to the Twins vs White Sox game downtown (they thought we were Tenth Avenue North…we weren’t though). This sounded like a fun time, so after we felt the city had been sufficiently roamed, Pete and I decided to go down to the stadium to try and score some cheap tickets to the sold out game. By the time we arrived, there were only 2 innings left. People were leaving and the gates were wide open. We looked at each other, nodded, and walked straight in. It was 0-0 when we started watching. By the time it was done, the Twins won 7-4. We basically caught the entire game for free, and it was a great one! We found some pretty good seats too.
So anyway, Minneapolis is awesome and everyone should go visit there sometime. The end.

LEAD ME – THE MUSIC VIDEO
9 Jul
We finished filming the music video for “Lead Me” a couple days ago with director, Nathan Corrona. He was the mastermind behind the video for “Forgiven,” and we had such a great experience with him then, we were thrilled to work with him again.
This time around proved to be no different than the last. Nathan had a great vision for the storyline and found the perfect locations to color it all in. We shot on the outskirts of Toledo, OH at a few different spots including a nice house, a sketchy motel, a corn field, a wheat field (where a combine then covered us in wheat chaff), and inside Full Moon Fever (the name of our bus).
Nathan is currently shooting more footage down in Savannah, GA, so we’re just as excited as everyone else to see how he puts all the pieces together. I’m not sure yet when our record label plans to release the video, but I suspect it will be sometime in the next month. I’ll make sure to post that information as I find out.

Purchase Just-Roasted Coffee
I roast my own coffee. It's become a fun hobby, and it tastes pretty good if I do say so myself. If you'd like to try some, you can order it here. I'll roast it & ship it asap.
