Washington DC - the more things change, the more you stay the same.

As I sit here, feet up on the dash of the Blue Torch, hurdling through Virginia, I find myself amazed that it's not only possible but entirely routine to blog or email or Twitter or facebook etc. from a large van travelling 70+ miles an hour.

There was a time in the not too distant past when, after a show like last night, we would need to search for wifi in order to spill our excitement throughout the interweb. There was something nice about having to work a little to communicate. It made a blog entry seem like more of an event maybe. But there's also something nice about this too, I suppose. In some ways you've never been closer to us then you are now, right here in the passenger seat of the van, heading to Durham NC. Kind of makes you feel cozy huh?

Well times definitely have changed and continue to change faster and faster, but some things do remain the same. Looking out last night at all the familiar DC faces is a wonderful sight and your continued support means so much to each of us.

It's nice to see all the new faces too, of course. We couldn't have asked for a better show to kick off the tour. We secured a dream parking spot. We Were Pirates and Gist rocked. We sweat through our shirts. There were times Will's vocals were nearly drowned out by some serious audience sing-a-longs lead by Greg, who impressed with his memorization of all the new songs already. All in all, it was an awesome night.

A big thank you hug from all of us to all of you. Until next time, DC!
