Band on the Diaper Run

Toothpicks for Giants

Florida, thank you for your sun and great shows! 

 We got to catch up with old friends (and their newest members)

We saw the beach complete with sea turtle nests and wild iguanas.

 The crowds at every show were enthusiastic (even despite one night of an hour long technical delay).

 Soundchecks were enjoyable (especially for Mags) 

 

Magnolia even found some "toothpicks for giants" as she referred to these deorative art pieces outside the hotel in Ft. Lauderdale.

 

On a side note, we've been told our episode of Yo Gabba Gabbe will air September 23. Magnolia is officially the biggest fan of the show and she has no idea we're going to be on it soon.  I can't wait to see her reaction.  Thankfully she's not embarrassed by us yet.

the hour long delay at the real big deal fest was definitely worth the set! I took photos at that show if you'd like them!

oh my gosh!  I've been waiting to see your Yo Gabba Gabba episode for so long.  Today was the first day I slept in too late, woke up, turned on Yo Gabba Gabba, and you guys were just finishing up your set :(  even though I saw you guys for only 2 seconds, you looked great!

hopefully it will be on again.  And you MUST blog about Mag's reaction.  And the toothpicks for giants thing?  Dude, she absolutely hilarious.  She's definitely going to be something.
