Little Rock, meet big rock.

Big rock in the form of the AP Tour, that is. Today, we invaded Juanita's, which is essentially a Mexican restaurant that doubles as a very intimate venue. This was the smallest room the AP Tour was playing, so we had to scale down our production a little bit -- sorry to all Arkansasians who didn't get to see our backdrop (or All Time Low's cuss-word scrims, for that matter). All the bands shared equipment to keep clutter to a minimum, but unfortunately, it caused some technical problems with both Forever The Sickest Kids' and the Matches' sets. The Matches also were the unfortunate recipients of monitor problems during their half-hour onstage, and sitting here on their bus now, I can tell you they are still super-bummed about their performance, so leave them some comments and tell 'em how great they are!

Also, tell 'em to play "What Katie Said," because I've been requesting it every day and they still haven't. Jerks. Good thing I sabotaged their monitors and guitars... Oh, shit, probably should stop typing every secret I have in my head. Next thing you know, I'll be telling you who killed JFK!

It was Jaleel White, by the way. Jaleel White killed JFK. I'm serious. look at this dude:

I don't trust that man whatsoever, and neither should you.

But I digress, as I often do.

All Time Low took advantage of the unusual show and had a bit of fun during their set, including when Alex took his mic stand and guitar, walked across the venue and climbed on top of the bannister next to the merch area and proceeded to play "Shameless." Amazingly, the band stayed completely in sync the whole time, and I have the video to prove it (coming as soon as the tour ends -- sorry, I don't have the capabilities to edit video on this ol' laptop).

Side note: Indy, our tour manager, just said he likes Hoobastank. Seriously. Seriously seriously. Somebody bring him a CD-R so we can play it on the bus and have him karaoke to it.

Anyway, Little Rock, you were awesome tonight, and you let the tour blow off a little steam and have a little fun in the process. Many thanks to you, and extra-special thanks go out to peeps who drove from all over the dang place -- I met people tonight from as far as 10 hours away! Way to represent, Oklahoma and Texas.

Okay, time to go see if I can check No. 1 off my daily to-do list before bus call. (Check the earlier blog to see what I'm referring to.) Later!
