Hey! So things have been CRAZY lately and I love it. We had a great time in New York City. We played an awesome show at one of the vibyest clubs in the city called the Village Underground. A few of our friends from Samsung as well as some major label people came to check it out! It was a great hang. After the show, we all sat down for some Italian food at the best restaurant ever! The next day, I did a live interview on Sirius radio with Robert and John to promote the screenings of Rock Prophecies! It was a lot of fun and the DJs were really cool guys. They played a few of my songs on the air and I’ve been getting emails NON STOP! I love it!
After the radio interview, I went back to the hotel to grab my gear to head to the Top of the Rock, where Samsung was throwing the party of the century!! When I got to my hotel room, I realized that my pedalboard was missing. I thought it might be in Calvin and Caleb’s room since Caleb’s drums came to my room. When I called Calvin to ask him to bring it down to the lobby, he said he hadn’t seen it. Needless to say, I started to panic a little bit. After watching hours of security tapes and checking every room on the 15th floor, we accepted the fact that it was gone and decided to move on with our night. I was pretty bummed until I arrived at the Top of the Rock party! WOW!! We played an acoustic set as we looked out over NY. The view was amazing. When the party was over, we all went back to our hotel rooms to get an hour or two of sleep before we had to fly to Kansas City to re-unite with the “Pampered Lady”..When I got to my room, I got a call saying that the trailer for Rock Prophecies was playing on the jumbotron in Times Square! I think this was around 2:00AM? Haha..Needless to say, I grabbed the guys and we jumped in a cab headed downtown. Before we got to Times Square, I asked the driver to take us by the Village Underground..I couldn’t leave NY without checking to see if they had seen my pedalboard. Jake jumped out and ran in as Caleb and I waited in the cab. When Jake walked out carrying a giant black case(filled with my pedals), Caleb and I went NUTS!! I know everyone on that street heard us screaming and going crazy. I was so happy. I honestly felt like that night couldn’t get any better! I was wrong.
When we pulled up to Time Square I look up to see the trailer of Rock Prophecies playing on the jumbotron!! We freaked out once again! We stood in a crowd of people for a little while and watched the trailer a couple times. I was beyond thrilled. I’ve been a ton of places this month, but I think some of the best memories came from New York! Thanks again to Samsung for making it possible for me to share my music with so many people! I’m having the time of my life!
