Hey out there in MAAW Town! It’s Erin from DiNG again writing to you from
my bus just before doors open up here in Fayetteville, NC for the outdoor
festival portion of the day. I’m super excited to see how the day goes
today, since we are off to such a good start with a beautiful, sunny
70-degree day. I am ready for it! I’ve got a cooler full of ice cold
beverages for sale for all of you show-goers, a whole bunch of DiNGs up
for sale, and my little camera in hand just waiting to snap some photos of
whatever the day brings. Stop by and say hi! Play a little Ninja Blade,
check out some live music, go get some free photobooth photos of you and
your friends with sweaty, sunburned noses. Oh, yeah… Today is gonna
rule!
And for those of you who came out to the East Rutherford, NJ show, or are
just curious to take a peek, here are some photos from that show. Lucky
for me (and for you, too), my booth was parked right next to the FYE
artist signing booth. Prime spot for some pretty sweet photos. Enjoy!

Week one down!
I can't believe a week flew by already!
We started things off in Waterloo, IA and man can those corn-fed kids party. It was our first show but you would never know. The festival kicked off right on time at 2pm and between the band signings, killer sets and tattoos, the day flew by and started what will be a sweet next two months.
Moving onto Kansas City, MO and Oklahoma City, OK the HeadBang for the Highway band winners slammed through their sets on our Ernie Ball HeadBang for the Highway stage. Throughout the day you could get an autograph from Chimaira at the Samsung area as well as tattoo your phone....so much to do.
After a much needed day off in Hays, Ks {whoo hoo}, we headed for the tundra of Denver, CO. Our first day in Denver was beautiful. A sold out show at the Fillmore, they even gave us a trophy for a sold out show! The next morning though, we woke up to a winter not-so-wonderful wonderland. Dumping down on Denver the most snow they'd seen in twelve months, the show teetered on cancelling but in true rock form, all the bands went on, on time and without a single complaint!
We waited out the storm before driving all day and night through New Mexico to get to Phoenix for our show there Saturday. The tattoo area was alive with more than 7 booths full of kids getting everything from Music as a Weapon logos to an entire arm piece in one day!! This was the first day of our Red Bull motocross jump exibition....they call those jumps a Hart-Attack for a reason! You HAVE TO see it...All day the kids kept up outside and in with Chimaira, Lacuna Coil, Killswitch Engage and Disturbed completely rocking the house. Every fan left there with a smile on their face and sometimes a wayward shoe donated to the moshpit-gods...
Now we are here in Albuquerque, NM to a packed house. Can't wait to see what the second week brings us. We'll mess with Texas...
