The generator blew up? Cool! Er, that's too bad. :D That was nice that you got money to fix it again, though!
Dude, how can anyone, muchless someone performing nightly, stay up AND function for 36 hours straight??
What-all was involved in the prank night? Do y'all have videos of it?
Sounds like the tour went well! I hope to see you in our area sometime soon (hint hint:)

Hey we are a couple of friends in good old Indiana and we were wondering if you and Kutless were coming to Indiana on this tour.
If not, You REALLY SHOULD.
