Haha in David's last blog, he talked about writing in a journal once a week. Have you all been doing it? LOL i hope you are!

Haha the blogs just keep on comin'!

Hello everyone. Just updating on how things have been. I'm watching kid shows with my little cousins right now haha. They're quite interesting... lol. They get really random. Right now Yo Gabba Gabba! is on. We were watching Maggie and the Beast, and they just randomly walked by these sheep sitting on a cloud. anyway, I think you'd have to actually watch it to see what I mean. Otherwise it's not funny I guess. It was to me though. well... it wasn't funny to my little infant cousins haha. Ok I'm done.

So we had shows in Boston and Philly, and they were sooo much fun! Philly was an amphitheater show, and I think the sun really makes people happier. At least when it's not beating down on you at 110 degrees. But the crowd was so cheerful and energetic, and it was just a lot of fun. Woah... Sean Kingston is in Yo Gabba Gabba teaching a dance. That's crazy. I like Sean Kingston. Wow I'm feeling really spacey today. But you guys have to watch this show if you're bored it's really interesting. Oh Sean Kingston just disappeared.. This is so weird!

We had our Georgia show yesterday. I had a day off Sunday, and also have a day off today! I have family here so I'm getting to spend time with them! It's great hangin' with the fam. My brother's here too, but right now he's sleeping. So I'm just hangin' with the cousins right now. One of Demi's guitarists, Mike, had a family reunion in Georgia so I met a bunch of his family last night at the show too. Anyway, I probably shouldn't be writing a blog right now because I cannot focus whatsoever. You can't blame me though because there's a lot going on around here. But at least I'll leave it short! Did you guys buy Regina Spektor's album? Because I love it.

Well I best be off now to spend time with the family. But before I go I just wanted to mention how valuable I find writing in a journal is. Last year I didn't really keep a journal, and I thought it took too much time out of my day. I'd do it every now and then over the last few years, but I'd get unmotivated and stop writing. I made it my New Year's Resolution to write at least once a week in it though, and at first I thought there's no way I'm going to keep this going lol. But surprisingly, I 've been doing really well with it and I'm so glad that I have. It really helps you sort your thoughts out, and also gets your mind kicking into gear. One of my favorite things is going back to a page and reading what was going on through my mind 6 months or 2 years ago. It's a really neat thing to do actually. Especially the entries that were before I knew what all was going to happen with music in my life. Think of how cool it'd be for your grandkids and great-grandkids to read about your adventures and what you were like too. You may think, "Oh my life's not interesting enough to waste my time writing about it in a journal." But hey, you should go for it anyway and you might surprise yourself how cool it will be reading back sometime in the future. So I'd like to challenge all of you to get a journal and start writing in it tonight! Let me know how you do, ok? If you don't have a journal, then go out and by one this week. I'm really serious about it, and I'm a true believer in how much a journal is worth. Once you start writing in it, it really becomes priceless possession. Well I've gone off long enough about that, but really let me know how you guys do and keep it up! It'll be sooo worth it in the long-run, even for whoever ends up with it later on. But with that, I leave and say until next time!

Song for the day: Why Georgia - John Mayer


P.S. Thanks everyone for the notes you've been sending on the charities you've been getting involved with! It's been really neat to see what foundations you've been helping out, and I think it's awesome! I love to see it!

Another Blog from Archie himself!

Hello all. I've come to give you my attempt at a SHORT blog report for the day. The tour with Demi has begun, and the first couple of shows have been great!! Demi is a wickedly talented girl! I'm glad to be on tour with her and am looking forward to an awesome Summer with her. I'm very happy to see the fans again too!! I've missed seeing all of you lol. Thanks for coming to the shows you guys! It really means a lot and makes it quite enjoyable. It's great seeing all the old familiar faces and catching up, and then also getting to meet new faces as well. SO THANK YOU FOR COMING!!

Today I got my RIAA certified gold plaque for my album!!! It's so cool you guys!! What an accomplishment it is to get one of those. You see other artists' plaques on the walls of recording studios and stuff, so to have one of my own is seriously so surreal. Thanks for each and everyone of you fans for buying an album to make it happen! Maybe one day we'll even go platinum! Craziness! As soon as I get a picture I'll try and upload it somewhere haha. It's not exactly a literal gold album, but it has my picture and the RIAA certification thingy on it... So it's official! haha.

So today seems like a lot is has been happening with good music coming out! If you didn't know already, Regina's new album came out today!!! WDf;oihegalkejdgnaelkgjaehfgpiuhchachacharmin;asdghdf;oiaub!!!! I just got back from the city so I haven't listened to it yet. I'm so excited to though! I've been listening to Begin to Hope to warm me up for the new stuff though, and after I finish writing this blog I'm going to let my ears have some Regina Spektorism treatment. I want to listen to it the whole way through without anything keeping me busy or distracting me, so now after the busy day I'm going to sit back and enjoyyyyy.

Brooke White's 2nd single has also come out! It's called Radio Radio. When I was in LA a few weeks ago she played it for me in the car and it always gets in my head! Radio radio, tell me what I wanna know wanna know. Michael Johns' album has also come out today!! I'd get it if I had more money in my iTunes account lol. I only have 4 cents left, and I might need to just reset the account info or something but I'll figure it out soon! It's been acting up for a while but someone gave me a gift card so I was able to get Regina's album and Brooke's single haha. Thank you for the gift card though! Carly Smithson also has her new band! Woot woot woot. It's called We Are the Fallen and you can check out their new song on www.myspace.com/wearethefallen. You should check it all out! I'm really excited for all my idol buddies! haha. I also heard that it's Jason Mraz's birthday today on this music-packed day, so happy birthday to Jason!

Ok, so I think I'm done for this blog entry! Hooray for not rambling as much! What's funny is it takes me just as long to make short blogs as it does long blogs haha. Wait.. maybe even longer! Because it takes quite the effort to summarize what I want to say. As long as it makes sense though and there's not so much dead space for those who read, I'm happy. Well all right, before I allow myself to ramble even more I'll talk to you guys later!

Song for the day: Radio Radio - Brooke White

David has written yet another blog for us!

Hi there! I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet! Think I can pull it off? I'm in Connecticut, and we're here for tour rehearsals. We have 2 new band members now. We now have another David who's playing bass, Dave haha. Our new drummer is named Jerry, and he's about a foot taller than me. We'll be rehearsing for a few days, and then have our first show Saturday in Del Mar, California! The first show for the Demi tour will be back in Connecticut, so it should be interesting going back and forth.

So for the last few days before I came to Connecticut for rehearsals, I was in LA recording for the Christmas album that's coming out this year! I'm really really excited for that because I love Christmas music and Christmas times. I was also working on some material for the next pop album as well. It's gonna be crazy working on all the stuff this Summer along with the tour, but I'm sooo excited you guys! Oh, how I love music lol. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what will become of everything, because I'm really not sure how it's going to end up. It's the kind of thing that you don't know what's going to happen until it happens. I really want to work with more people on writing though and get that part of my brain exercised and movin'.

Today I found out that I was nominated for 3 teen choice awards! One for breakout artist, one for love song, and one for tour (with Demi Lovato.) Thanks you guys for giving your voice and helping me have the opportunity! You can vote and see who else has been nominated here: http://www.teenchoiceawards.com/webdev/index.php

Before I came to Connecticut, I got to spend the night (and just for the night, not even day) in Utah. I couldn't sleep, and I mentioned the cats on twitter... But I wrote a letter to a friend and put it in the mailbox that night, or I guess morning lol, so I wouldn't forget to send it before I had to leave to CT. Well funny thing, when I turned the door knob it was locked. You can open it inside but not on the outside. I didn't have my phone with me, and no one was answering the door. I tried throwing small pebbles at the window but that didn't work either. So there I was in my PJ's outside, without shoes, and cold! I ran down the street to keep the blood going and went to a friend's house, hoping they'd be awake or more responsive than at my place haha. I knocked on the window that I thought was my friend's room, but I'm guessing that I guessed wrong or he wasn't awake, or something. I went back to the front and just knocked on the door, and thankfully his dad happened to be awake. So he opens the door and there I am standing in my PJ's feeling stupid, but I was so glad to go inside somewhere warm! Anyway I eventually got back into the house, and headed to the airport a couple hours later heh. Well I thought I'd share that story with you all lol.

Ok, I'm done now. With the exception of the story, I did a pretty good job keeping things short, right? Well until next time everyone! Cheers.
