Okay, so I was the late guy today. Really frickin embarrassing. You really know you’ve pushed it too far when your tour manager hunts you down in a steam bath, in a mall, in Salt Lake City. And when you walk on the bus a half hour late it’s just not good enough to tell the guys that you’re late because you were in Spa heaven. In fact, all of the relaxation from the massage and steam was completely wiped out when Scotty yelled “CREEGS, YOUR LATE, GET TO THE BUS QUICK” through the steamy room. I was so spaced out that initially I thought it was someone saying, “Isn’t this steam great”, but when I saw my friend in a heavy winter jacket standing in the 110 degree heat, I knew something was really wrong. Since the burden of this incident is too much for me to handle, I’m going to blame it all on the fact that I watched Bruno last night with Ed and Ty. I know that Bruno can carry the weight. He has made it okay to be naked in the wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong company.

When all was said and done, we had a great show at 101.9 The End with some fans that were willing to extend their lunch hour. We played You Run Away, All Been Done, One Week, Pinch Me, and When I Fall by request. We played it “down from the mountain style” which means the whole band sings through one mic. I love playing this way. The day before we played in Boulder at KBCO. We were told we were the last ones to play in their live studio before they re-create it in a new location. We have a lot of good memories playing there. I think the first KBCO recording we did was in their hallway in the early 90’s. I think I had huge hair then.

Thanks to everyone who is supporting Haiti through the texting program. ONE.org is also encouraging people to sign a petition calling for the cancellation of Haiti’s $1 billion Debt. They are also making sure that any emergency earthquake assistance is provided in the form of grants, and not debt-incurring loans.

Here's a link to ONE's petition
