Alright AP Faithful. Welcome to the AP Tour!

This is Chris, AP’s subscription manager, and I’ll be keeping you in the loop with everything that’s going on at the tour for the first batch of dates. After hopping a flight from Austin a day after our VIP Cocktail party at SXSW Aaron Wilson, AP’s marketing director, and I drove our weary selves, (in a silver Mustang convertible no less) to day one of the AP Tour.

After pulling up and having a quick chat with the Rockstar Energy Drink guys I rolled into Warehouse Live, our beautiful Houston venue. I gave a quick what up to the uber-nice Sean and Joe from the Matches and equally uber-nice Sonny Moore before setting up for the show. The Rockstar Energy guys, in their endless support of AP and all the bands threw a quick little pre-show pizza party and then we really got down to business.

Let me just say this about all you All Time Low fans: you’re amazing. We set up a signing with All Time Low before the show and it honestly seemed like everyone in the venue lined up to meet the guys. Fast forward to about 10 minutes after the signing and let me just say this about all you Forever The Sickest Kids fans: you kill it. The very second FTSK hit the stage the whole venue exploded and it didn’t stop for Sonny, it didn’t stop for the Matches, it didn’t stop for All Time Low and it certainly didn’t stop for the entire Rocket Summer set.

If Houston was any indication of how this tour is going to go then I’m stoked to be out here on the road bringing you the dirt from the bus. Make sure you get to the show early so you don’t miss the nightly signings and free Rockstar and don’t forget to redeem your subscription to AP with your ticket. Seriously, one year of AP is part of your ticket if you live in the US. This isn’t a trick. We’re not going to bill you for these 12 issues. It’s just 12 issues. No extra money. We’re thanking you for your support and for coming to the tour.

Talk to you guys tomorrow. If you’re coming to the Dallas show stop by the AP table and say hi!

XOXO

Yeah, who are Sean and Joe? I'd like to know.

However, SHAWN and JON are pretty nice guys, or so I've heard.
