Sept 5th Journal Entry
Back on the road. Since getting back from Australia (I loved) and Asia (awesome) I've pretty much just been touring non-stop. The bus had to get fixed about a week ago, and we had a loaner in the meantime. It was literally the weirdest bus I've ever seen. There was a golf theme on the bus and it was straight out of the mid 70's. Every picture on the wall had to do with golf and there were old-fashioned clubs on the wall. No one really understood it. But after a few days the other bus got fixed, so everything is back to normal now.
Every show has been so fun, but I have to say that Cleveland was one of the best shows so far. I love the House Of Blues there and the crowd was so awesome. My family drove up to come hang out. After the last song of the night, I brought my brother AJ out on stage. He's 10 and a really talented drummer. He did a little drum solo and totally rocked the crowd. I've been traveling on tour for so long I didn't realize how good he had gotten! Girls were screaming for him. It was totally hilarious.
Last week I rolled up to Canada to do a few instores in Toronto and Montreal. It's always great to get up to Canada. The fans are so welcoming and supportive. After that I came back down to NYC for a show at the Arthur Ashe Kid's Day. It was this all day event to kick off the US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium. I was a little bit nervous because the weather was iff, and this was nationally televised. It's always difficult to do a show that isn't directly supposed to be a concert. This was a Kid's event that I was playing at, not one of the normal shows. So it was kind of surreal with the band and I jamming out while a giant Sponge Bob is walking around and kids are getting their faces painted. It was fun.
I'm so excited for the upcoming week! On Thursday I'm going on TRL to debut the new video for "These Walls." Plus a special edition of Underage Thinking is coming out in October with all kinds of crazy unreleased material, plus a DVD of shows, making-of's, videos, etc. I'm so psyched about that. I really hope you'll all like it. You have to tell me what you think. Then that night, September 7th, I'm playing a show at The Nokia Theater in Time Square and celebrating my 18TH birthday. I can't wait to vote. It will be a blast, so come! There's going to be a bunch of surprises, guests, and fun stuff. I don't want anyone to miss it.
Thanks to everyone that has been coming out to the shows, emailing and telling your friends about me and my music. I am really grateful. Thanks and much love!
