style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Actually, we are still in Philadelphia, preparing for the philly "south street challenge"...it's a huge slice of pizza wrapped around a cheesesteak with an italian ice to drink. 2000 calories of brotherly love. I'm ready to die!</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Everything is on a good way there, and I can't wait to play the next gig.

Probably as much fun as our last day in Vermont, when we used a potato gun to shout Tim's underwear to the lake Champlain. I know... it's very stupid, but it was so funny. I will try to put some videos of it later on.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Tim and I have been working on playing "wrong Time, Wrong Place" together, and I seriously dig playing this song with friends. I will try to let Mr. Hilly play some banjo on it and Mr. Stowe sing the backing vocals with his amazing voice.</span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">That's going to be awesome. I will post videos and pictures, if we can make it happen.</span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Oh, and by the way,</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> my first E.p is out!!!

Here we are.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I guess, the U.S tour is a very good one to start. It's been a few days we are touring north east, and let me tell you that we have got already a bunch of stories! but i'll come back later on those ones.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Touring is amazing, and I'm very glad to be with my friends Mr. VANTOL, Mr. HILLY & Mr. STOWE. We are seriously a good team so far, and I'm having a blast.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The american roads, up north, are so beautiful, I'm enjoying so much those long drives crossing forests and rivers with good friends and good music, looking forward the next show.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Long drives means, a lot of time to think, and something hits me today. I've always been afraid to grow up, I've always been thinking that getting older was the beginning of troubles, that I won't be able to "dream" anymore... But seriously, I just get today that growing up had good things. Get dreams is a state of mind! I'm not the same I was 5 years ago and I'm getting older, that's a fact, but I kind of like it. I guess that' s what we call "evolution".</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I know, it's not really a news, but to be honest it really hits me today, and it sounded so true...</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I just want to keep going that way.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I won't just upload pictures or video on this blog. I'm going to write down my thoughts. So, if you guys don't find any interest on it, just watch the pix ;)</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I'll be back soon,</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">All the best</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Gr3g Laraigne</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"><br /></span>Greg Laraignehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263234984361755389noreply@blogger.com
