We Were Abducted By Aliens

But they were nice enough to bring us home. I think that they were annoyed by us talking about New Kids related stuff too much.

Now that we are back, we have some general blog housekeeping to take care of. We also have real housekeeping to take care of, but we're guessing that you don't want to hear about dust bunnies and dirty laundry.

1) If you are going to any shows on the spring tour that we are not going to (Champaign and Des Moines) shoot us an email. We have an assignment for you!! There may be a prize involved.

2) Are you familiar with the area surrounding Assembly Hall in Champaign, IL? Shoot us an email! There may be a prize involved!

3) Remember that article from Madison Magazine? Here are the outtakes from that interview from the author's blog. Sorry, no prize involved for clicking the link. It's a fun article though, in case you haven't yet read it.

There are actually a couple of other things that we need to tell you about. One is an update from something that we were working on last fall, and the other is another assignment for you. It's a fun one! We feel those things warrant their own posts though, so look for them in coming days.

In other news, the spring tour starts this weekend in Texas! We won't be there, but we are preparing for our shows by getting into crafting mode. We spent several hours with Tiff and Lisa last weekend working on signage. We think we're pretty hilarious. We are still working on what we'll be wearing, but there are a few weeks left to figure that out.

Did you catch any of the recent TV appearances? Which was your favorite? What are you wearing to the upcoming shows? Are you as excited this time around as you were last year? Can you believe this is happening again?

Here's the Jimmy Kimmel clip. They definitely benefit from having a live band backing them. The energy just isn't the same in the studio with a pre-recorded track (a la Regis & Kelly and the Today Show).

Enjoy!
