How do you find time to talk to your fans on myspace?
Dan: Whenever any of us find free time, like basically whenever were not rehearsing or writing, or anything like that. Usually, the end of the day; the down time at night, like 11, midnight, or so. I usually curl up in bed and get my computer out and start out asking everybody. Usually, for me till the end of the day, I know for some are in the morning; when they first get up. Mikey does it all the time, Topher is the morning guy; were all different.
J.K: I think its different for everybody, and my screen name is on my myspace page, so I know like a lot of fans have my screen name. So, any time when I get online, like a lot of time, I'll be talking to kids that have it, or I'll put it on my phone and AIM on my phone. We all try to put a big priority in staying in touch with the kids that are listening to our music; pretty much all the time; everyday, kinda thing for us.
When are you going to have a new episode for The Bigger Light series?
Topher: Great question, we actually when we were playing with My Favorite Highway back in April. We kind of got lost with doing that and we were planning out coming back with a big episode like with tour stuff. With a lot of live videos, and short footage and fun stuff that we did like all on the way, but J.K's computer crashed and we lost like the entire video. Mikey edited it for like hours and the day that Mikey finished editing it like the computer went down, and lost everything. But were gonna have a lot of updates coming soon. There's definitely going to be a video that be coming up very very soon, which were gonna launched it and it's like gonna kinda start being like a weekly thing at a very specific time almost like a T.V show would be. So, we'll definitely have something like that up soon. The next video were gonna have is basically is kind of telling people what's been going on with us as well as establishing that time that were having a new video every week, so that should be something that should be happening again here in the next couple of weeks or so, but yeah were definitely want to get back into doing that cause that was really fun for us.
What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to you during performing?
Topher: I don't know if anything embarrassing had happened to anyone else in this band on stage, but like I hit myself in the face with the microphone in Michigan. I started to bleeding a lot and had to go to the hospital. I always hit somebody else, but this time I hurted myself, I kept bleeding. Our friend, Emilio was out with us when we are on tour, he was like, "He should go to the emergency room, he has been bleeding for a few hours now and haven't stopped." So I got my stitches and everything. That was not the most embarrassing thing that happened on stage, I can't think of anything else that actually happened to the band on stage.
Oh yeah, there was one time, I could blame it on Mikey, even though it's not completely his fault, but I'll blame it on Mikey. We had a huge hometown show and we were all excited and we were going to be playing this big intro that was Back To the Future kind of theme; the intro, when we came on stage and it's suppose to make a dramatic build-up and it went to it and then all of a sudden, like nothing happened and everybody was kind of like "what's going on" and it happened another time after that. It was the most embarrassing thing because of all this momentum that we tried to build up for this big hometown show. It was our first time that we played a sold-out hometown show and it just didn't happened like twice. And I was really really embarrassing because our managers were laughing at us. It was really funny but really awkward, but I guess it happens; sometimes. It was funny after the fact, but on the stage it was kind of a panic.
Would you ever date a fan? [video]
J.K: That one was good. I think that, the one thing that's a little weird is; I think it's kind of I don't know how exactly how to phrase what I'm thinking right now. I think the only thing that you have to be really careful of with dating a fan that you met through a band is that. I know sometimes a lot of times, it's not much of an issue for a band like us cause were still a little small, like not a lot of people know who we are, but for bigger bands in particular. Is that at sometimes some people kind of have the wrong motives for wanting to date you because the danger. I remember reading an interview with, I think Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. He was saying that he refused to date anybody that liked his band, like he wouldn't date a single person. Even if they enjoy any of his band 's music because he would constantly worried that they were going dating for the wrong reason, so I think like theirs a little bit of danger. I think, we can you know, if theirs somebody there that you connected with a fan or other wise. You know go for it.

Dan kinda sounds like Patrick Stump sort of.

"but like I hit myself in the face with the microphone in Michigan. I started to bleeding a lot and had to go to the hospital."
haha....... I remember that. That was hilarious, but I was worried about him. He's a champ though and didn't let it affect the rest of the song OR the rest of the show. :)
Those are my boys! <3
