FREEDOM!

On Wednesday, we played a show in Cambridge, ON.

My goodness, was it ever hot that night. Wow.
The hottest shows I ever play are always in Cambridge. It always just works out that way. Despite the temperature, we had a great show. I felt really great about it.

The best part was in "Won't Back Down", where I get the crowd the separate and tell the right side to scream, and then the left side to scream, back and forth, etc. These kids were there to throw-down! I respect their enthusiasm but ... you know ... Hello Kelly's not a metal band.

BUT, we all appreciate metal music and love that scene. And it was an honour that these kids wanted to get down to business to our poppy music. So, after both sides had screamed back and forth a bit, I ordered them to face their opposing sides as if it were an enemy army ... and ... on the count of 3 ... charge at them, screaming, violently and throw'r'down.
Well, they did. And I'm pretty sure I heard a Braveheart inspired "FREEDOM" battle cry. It was inspiring.

Nobody was hurt either. Bonus.

Later that night, I was eating at Crabby Joe's and a couple $20's fell out of my pocket and someone stole them. Lame.

Can't win 'em all! Sigh.

TOMORROW - we're playing at Wonderland with Hawk Nelson, Thousand Foot Krutch, Relient K and MercyMe. If you're not going already, you might not be able to plan it ... but if you feel like a great show and going on some rides, GOOGLE Canada's Wonderland, find the address and make it happen.

The weather's supposed to be amazing and we're on at 3.

If you don't live in Central/Southern Ontario, then just wish us luck!

Thanks again for listening!

Welcome Summer!

Hey everybody!
Well, summer is officially here!

Would you like to know how I know?
Well, Sunday was Father's Day and my dad announced that he wanted to go fishing. Now, I'm not the biggest fisherman, but since he REALLY wanted to go, I (and my siblings) obliged!

Before setting off, we made sure to buy all the necessities: snacks, hats, flip-flops, more snack. Upon arriving at the lake, we realized that we'd forgotten one thing. Sunscreen.
My dad doesn't believe in sunscreen. Call me a wimp, but I do!

Anyway, long story short, I wore a hoodie all day (so hot!) to protect my arms from sunburns, but nothing could protect me knees and calves. Today I'm literally waddling everywhere like a penguin because my sunburnt legs to me so much.

Am I a baby?

Anyway, if this is the worst of it, then I don't mind. Because summer is a lot more than just sunburns!

Hello Kelly's already played a bunch of shows and they've been a blast. The line-up from tour is getting really solid and I'm so thankful for the guys and their hearts.

We've been eating nothing but burgers and hot dogs at all of our shows but we're OK with that because summer is ALL ABOUT burgers and hot dogs. THIS SATURDAY, we're playing WONDERJAM at Canada's Wonderland.

We're playing with MercyMe, Relient K, Thousand Foot Krutch and Hawk Nelson. WHAT AN HONOUR TO BE ON THIS SHOW!
We can't wait!
If you want tickets, just GOOGLE Canada's Wonderland you'll be able to figure it out. Or just show up that day and buy tickets to the park - they'll get you into the concerts as well.

We hope to see you guys there!

Hopefully my chicken legs heal up by then too! Heh heh.
