LA Life

Its been such an incredible experience to be doing what we have over the past few weeks and months. I've thanked quite a few people over the support they've given us, whether it be voting, setting up viewing parties, or passing the word along to friends at their colleges, but most of all my parents have been a huge help. I basically lived off of them this summer as I was taking classes, practicing for AGT and having a great time with friends in Blacksburg, and I am so thankful to have been given such an opportunity.

We have been in LA this time for 2 days now after the long travel day Saturday. It has been

an eerie mix of relaxing and urgency seeing as we must complete a new act for the tour while finally getting a break from being in the midst of a competition. Our hotel is a little further south so we aren't quite in the Beverly Hills/Hollywood scene we had gotten used to but enjoy the change of scenery. Sunday was a great day for us, since we got to meet a few of the people involved with the tour but also got time to relax at Venice Beach and see some of the crazies that hang out there. Given more time in the mornings and evenings has given most of us a chance to workout a little more easily. Caleb and I went for a run out past Loyola Marymount College (much too long of a run) as well as using the hotel gym, which is a slight disappointment from the Sofitel Spa we had been using the past 3 weeks.

Yesterday and today we got the chance to explore Sony Studios and meet the people that will be working with us on the tour. We have a new act and more illusions coming forward, hopefully it will impress anyone coming to see our shows. A lot of our time has been focused on choosing the right music and what elements to include while a few others have been looking at business aspects of our company such as banking and development. Talks with the tour organizers have gotten us much more excited about the buses we will be living on, consisting of 12 bunks with satellite and wireless internet. Laundry will be taken out daily, hopefully keeping the smell down a little bit from 13 college guys. As the week progresses I will know more details and plans for the future but we are stoked to get on the road and take this as far as we can.
