   About The Whomping Willows (SUMMER TOUR 6/30 to 8/31!!)
"you've got a new fan in my 2 year old Jake. He's currently tearing around the living room laughing his head off yelling "guitar rock!". I paused the CD to answer the phone and he shot me one of the dirtiest looks I've ever seen and screeched until I put it back on." -Russ

Hey! I know I'm a day late on this, but I've been a busy girl:P
So... I had a TON OF FUN playing at the Lexington show with you!!
It was seriously one of the best wrock concerts I've ever been too. I mean, not much will beat this, because you had to crowd going so well and you made it so much fun! I cannot explain how sore and tired I am today!
Thanks for coming to Lexington and we hope to have you back sometime! (And so sorry I missed my local show tonight. The world was against me attending it.)

Yes Matt, y'all put on a fantastic set for us Bama folk (and thanks to Bama Paige for settin' it all up, doesn't she rock?) I drove 4 hours for it and would do it again tomorrow, but alas y'all have left for cooler climates.
Hope you enjoyed the cookies, make you're way back and there'll be more waitin'! :)erin

You guys rock.

Jul 21 2008 4:28 PM

My favorite tree, I miss your branches hugging me! I didn't even get to talk to you much, we were both too busy. It shouldn't be that way. The show was awesome. The press did an ok job, but got a few things wrong. At least they showed up. Both called me today to tell me how suprised they were that y'all could really rock it out. I was so proud of all of you!!! I do hope you will come back.
you know we will not let you down!!! Love and Bama hugs! Paige

ps.
happy one year anniversary of hp and the dh!
