TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER....
Once again we have to thank all the fans that made it out to World Cafe Live last night to help us support the Juggling Suns. Special thanks to JS for wanting to include us with BODEGA and MONACY to make a really awesome show. And thanks to the crazy videos playing all night, I now know the consequences of setting a firecracker off in my ass. Yikes, brain-tarnishing....
Once again thanks to all the fans that came out and WELCOME to all of our new fans that picked up both albums last night! This summer we're going to be travelling extensively (wow, that NEVER happens to us...), but we have PLENTY of local Philly/Jersey shows every month for you guys. Keep checking here and our official site www.thebluemethod.com to keep up with the dates and everything else Blue. Holla at me if you have any questions about show times, CD's, shoes (ha), or helping us out with promotion/photography/videography, etc....DADZ Friday, then down to the beach at CASTAWAYS OCEAN CITY Sunday to help celebrate Memorial Day! See you in the crowd, bring some ear plugs!

WHAT A WEEKEND.....
I've already listened to some rough mixes of the shows, and they turned out PHENOMINAL!!! The crowd sounds spectacular (the band was okay too! haha), and we can't thank you all enough for coming out and supporting on one or both nights! Thanks to the all the folks that especially came from 4 and 5 hours away just to be a part of things. Of course we have to thank DAVE, JENNA (aww, miss you already girly), MARCUS, JESSICA, AJ, and the entire ZENO'S/HOTEL STATE COLLEGE/ALLEN STREET GRILL staff for always taking great care of us.
We've already begun mixing the shows, so they will definitely be available by the summer....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand keep your eyes peeled to YouTube for some exclusive video footage from Saturday night!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some World Cafe Live show preparing to do!! See you Philly folks and Mega-Method Heads tomorrow!!
p.s. - Johnston gets the MEGA-FAN award for the week for a display in the hotel kind of similar to THIS....

3 STATES IN 36 HOURS!!!
The way we've been avoiding sleep, you'd think it had cooties man!
Blue Method is wrapping up yet another crazy travelling weekend: New York City, Swarthmore University, and Arlington, VA, in less than two fulls days! Deliriousness has set in, I'll try to recap without losing my mind!!!
So Friday we hit up the beautiful HIGHLINE BALLROOM to help the Josh Dion Band celebrate the release of their new album (GET THAT SON!!). Special thanks to JDB for including us in a great night of music and to DEREK JAMES and 7 CASS DILLON for sharing the stage with us. And of course I can't forget my peoples for partying with us late into the night (i'll forget some, but I love you all!!): Jesse (you wreck another car this time?), Tejas, Zack, Meggem, Little Pete (ha!), Krazy Karl (of course)...and all the rest of you guys, old friends and new!!
So we trekked back to the Philly area to hit up SWARTHMORE U for the third year (I guess they like us, we love y'all too!!!). Special thanks to PARI and Emily for always bringing us back and taking great care of us. And we can't forget Sarah and Theron's firefighting hands for a memorable intro!
Then was the highlight of my weekend...heading down to WHITLOWS ON WILSON!!!!! Thanks to the entire staff for always taking care of us and being just as excited (if not more!) as the fans about our music. Once again Brian got housed by the gorgeous and talented LISA LOCKE on the vocals...don't worry B, it's just motivation!
It's always a pleasure to hit up this spot: it's one of the rare occassions my beaufiul MOM AND DAD get to come out and see me play!!! My pop always sits right up front, motorized scooter in full blast, and my Momma gets up and dances and sings the night away! The Whitlows staff has a special place with us because they ALWAYS remember my parents and clear tables and chairs away for my Pop's wheelchair BEFORE he even shows up! Special thanks to my sis Colette, my brother/cousin Kheli, Auntie (awww), Christina and crew, Miss Sandra and Freddy, Mary Lou and Dave, Stephanie and that huge posse she brought, and all the other regulars who ALWAYS bring new folks!
When I'm sleepy I ramble. I think there's some kind of a CD RECORDING THIS WEEKEND AT ZENOS, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.....who knows, maybe I'm just loopy!!!

p.s. - no really, there's a LIVE CD RECORDING THIS WEEKEND AT ZENOS!!!
p.p.s. - Hey Jooooooooooooooooosh, I found an old picture of you....
