Mmmm!

After a whirlwind of shows, recording sessions, and a whole bunch of other stuff, we’re headed back home to recharge our batteries! Well, Chris only gets a short break and then he’s off to New York to be part of the pre-auction festivities for the Celebrate Mickey: 75 InspEARations Statue Tour Auction. On September 27th, the 700-pound, 6-foot tall Let’s Party Mickey designed by Chris will be auctioned off at Southeby’s with proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.

We’ve got a bunch of shows just around the corner and are very anxious to hit the road again for a very special Christmas Tour.

Chris Update


Summer is so much fun!

Are you all having a great summer? I’ve had a lot of fun, including lots of traveling. Just like every summer, my family made their trip to Panama City Beach, FL to hang out with over 50 relatives. I loooooved it. Jet Skiing in the ocean was the best!

This past week I’ve been working at a Dance Camp. It’s been really busy because each day I’ve been choreographing two dances and then teaching them to my students. They're all between the ages of 7 and 18 and tomorrow I’ll be judging them.

Once camp is over, I’ll be home for a few hours and then back out on the road. I plan on finally bringing Brittany's birthday present I keep forgetting to give to her. I got her an iTunes gift card (but shhhh, don’t tell her). Also, I’m looking forward to seeing Zoegirl again. We became great friends on our last tour.

See you soon!!!!

Chris

On The Road Again

Wow, it’s been so long. Even though Jump5’s not playing a show this weekend, we sure do get busy. Currently Brittany and I are traveling with Mom and Dad to a family reunion. I’ve got all my downtime accounted for. I brought my iPod, computer, and X-Box with some new games.

At home we just reopened our pool. It’s got a new liner on it. It looks great and is a whole lot warmer. No complaints here.

I’ve also started a new project of sorts. I’m building my own studio at home. To start off we added new carpet, then I went on a late night trip to get some paint for the walls. I stayed up until 2:30am painting. You’ll never guess what happened in the morning? I realized the color didn’t look the same as it did in the store. So let’s just say it took two more tries to get it right, but it looks good now.

Yes my priorities have changed. It’s quite funny, we were having a band meeting a little while back at a restaurant and I ended up with my eyes glued to one of the TVs there. It was one of those “Do It Yourself” Channels and they were showing how to build cabinets. Now I know how to build my own and maybe, just maybe I will!

Have a great pyro day (4th of July),

Brandon

Lesley Update 6/2/2005


We Went To A Show

Last night Britt, Brandon and I went to the Jesse McCartney concert. It’s not often we’re home and get to check out a show like this and it was a blast. Although we’re not used to being on the other end having to figure out where and when to go for the meet and greet and finding the backstage. That can be kinda crazy.

I must admit though we kind of felt like the opening act. One girl asked for a picture when we got to our seats and then a line formed. It was like we were back on tour.

It was a great show. Jesse definitely knows how to work the crowd… although he didn’t have to say a word and they would scream. Haha! We had such a great time and best of all, I got to bring my friend with me. She had the best time ever.

Thanks Jesse!

The Tour Is Over :(

Hey everybody!

Last week we finished our Spring Tour and I’m terribly sad that it’s all over. It was so much fun and we’re trying to find time to do an after tour party. We did a lot of things together with ZOEgirl and the crew, including watching seasons 1-3 of the show 24. Speaking of that, did any of you catch last night’s finale? It was INCREDIBLE! I’m also looking forward to seeing Lost’s season finale tonight as well. It’s sooooo good.

Since we’ve been home I’ve been catching up on my movie theater experiences. I’ve seen Star Wars twice. You’ll never believe this, but I cried both times! What can I say, it’s got some emotional parts!

Last night we all went out for food and Lesley and I were up to no good. We snuck away from the table and noticed some guys standing right by her car. So guess what we did? We set her alarm off and they started freaking out! It was so funny.

Love to all,

Brit

Brandon Update 5/16/2005 So much fun! You wouldn’t believe how much fun we had tonight. We performed our last show on the tour and as expected there were plenty of pranks. For instance, last tour Brittany, Lesley, and Chris decided during one of our songs to change the choreography without telling me. Of course when they did it, I ended up looking like I was the one who didn’t know what I was doing. Fortunately nothing too bad happened to me other than getting sprayed with a bunch of silly string. Although, do you remember that Sharpie fight with Alisa that I told you about? Well, she won. -Brandon

This Weekend Is Going To Be Fun!

You guys would never believe how busy we’ve been! The tour has been going great but there’s little time to catch our breath. We’re having a lot of fun with Zoegirl and Kimberly Perry. Occasionally Brittany and I will sneak back to the soundboard or the side of the stage to see their performances. They’re really good and let me tell you about Kimberly, she is a rock chick hardcore for sure!

Last week we took a break from the tour to fly off to Malibu to shoot our music video for Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride. On Monday we arrived and were taught all of the choreography. The next day we woke up and it was off to get made up and begin shooting the video. Unfortunately we had a few snags, including having to take breaks for Brittany to study because she’s 16 and still in school. There are some labor laws we have to follow when doing things and that was one of them. Shooting the video was a whole lot of fun, and it’s going to be the first time that we have dancers with us. It’s going to look really cool. We finished shooting sometime around 3am, went back to the hotel to get two hours of sleep, and then back on the airplane to join up with the tour.

On Saturday we had an odd date that wasn’t part of the tour. It was a show for Radio Disney in Michigan. It was a lot of fun, but we’ve gotten so used to working shows with our tour family that it felt kind of strange not having the regular people there. At that show something funny happened. I fell off of the stage! Haha, it’s all good though I’m okay.

It’s all been such a blur lately but one thing is for sure. I’m excited for Sunday because it will be the last night on the tour. You know what that means? It’s PRANK NIGHT and Brittany and I have plenty of things planned. It’s gonna be a fun show for you guys to watch. Haha!
