Playing in Arizona was hot! We woke up Thursday morning,
went to the gas station and the van died! Luckily within ten
minutes we had a new battery and were on our way.
We took off and got to Tempe actually on time for an
on-air performance and a sound check. Somehow everything
happened to turn out the way it was planned!
Tempe is hot, but not a bad place to play by any means.
Thank you guys for coming out and joining us in the heat!
After the show we took off for Tucson and stayed two nights
in The Congress Hotel. The hotel didn’t have any AC but
rumors were floating around that it was haunted! Unfortunately
we tried had snap some pictures of the ghosts but had no luck.
Catch you all soon!!

Check out this video of Carolina Liar hanging out in Calgary, Canada.

Shooting the New Video:

What an absolutely crazy couple of days. I left South
Carolina to fly up to New York, then to Atlantic city.
On Monday night we had a fitting then
Bill drove us out to the Atlantic City.
When we got there we soon learned
why it was such a great city to shoot a video in.
We stayed at the Tropicana in the Havana Tower.

Tuesday:

The shoot did not start until 5PM, so we took the
extra time to check out the Jersey shore.
It’s really quite nice. We all got some cheese steaks and
David treated us to some cherry Italian ice with vanilla ice cream.

We got checked in with all the prelim stuff at 5PM
and started shooting at 7 on the beach.
The director for the video is Diane Martel and
she and her crew were some of the coolest people I have
ever had the chance to meet. It got really cold that night.
Some of the setups included people dancing in the water!
I don’t know how they did it! At one point we did get
asked by a couple of working girls if we wanted to make a video
with them for the special price of $100 for two…
we didn’t take them up on there generous offer.
That was Day 1 of the show video.

Wednesday:

Managed to get some sleep today. I didn’t get out of
bed until 3pm. Our production suite is located in
the Taj Mahal, the hotel owned by Trump.
It’s pretty funny because everything in the hotel is
Trump products. Trump lotion, napkins, soap it’s all
Trump. First shot for the day was at a hotel called the Ascot.
Most of the shooting today was going to be inside the city.
Diane set up so many cool things that fit the song so well.
We had old gangsters, crazy card dealers, helicopters we
really got the works! We finished Thursday morning and
I stayed up to catch my flight back to Los Angeles.

Thursday:

I got back to Los Angeles around 5PM and met Bill and
Johan at the Airport. The guys had been in Sweden for
a couple of days to so we got our stuff together,
went home and got ready for Love Line!
It’ was only Jim and I on the show.
I don’t know how Dr. Drew and Striker can keep a straight face.
Some of the questions were just crazy. The show went well.
They let us play two songs and played ‘I’m Not Over’ from the CD.

Friday:

Today starts the tour again for us.
We started the morning off with an acoustic
set at the Atlantic Records Office . Once we
were finished we had to fly down to the pier for the
Red Bull Experiment. There will soonbe a video on
YouTube showing the madness that was going on down there.
We were going to hang out with everyone from
Red Bull but we were all so tired that we had to go home.
Tomorrow we are playing the Pacific Amphitheater with
One Republic and Phantom Planet!

Saturday:

This is another big day. My voice is pretty tired
from this week so today wasn’t as easy as I would
have hoped for. No matter, we made our way out to Los
Angeles and head down to Costa Mesa!
This is one really nice place to play
it’s huge !!! We get in as the guys from
One Republic are about to sound
check. It’s one of those days again where we
are all having to pinch ourselves. Yesterday we played
to maybe 10,000 people and today could be the
same! We had a blast playing for everyone that came out!
Right now we are on our way to San Francisco
for another show with One Republic and Phantom Planet.
I hope to see you guys there!!
