Hi I've been meaning to post for way to long and now that I'm half dead on the couch with the flu I thought I'd take the opportunity to say hello!
I'm super excited that Shinedown is coming to Winnipeg to do Rock on the Range here. I'm hoping for more Canadian dates but in the meantime my friend and I are gonna do a roadtrip down to Omaha and Kansas at the end of May. We're playing with the idea of Discorus in Oklahoma as its only another 2 hours, but I'm not sure yet.
I fell in love with Shinedown completely accidently. I was out to see Buckcherry for a few dates and Shinedown was opening for them. I saw them for the first time in late summer of '08 in Sioux Falls. Sadly at the time I didn't pay too much attention to the band as I was more impatient for "my band" to hit the stage. Looking back, it was almost the perfect venue to see Shinedown. It was after dark when they hit the stage. I heard "Second Chance" for the first time under a full moon! Perfect.
Anyway, we went out to a few more shows in November. We did a ridiculous amount of driving but managed to catch 6 shows. St.Paul,Fargo, Bloomington, Madison, Waterloo and La Crosse. I had a blast, I only wished we could have had a longer set from Shinedown every night. So, its gonna be a real treat to see the guys headline in May!!
Anyway, glad to have finally stopped in and looking forward to more from Shinedown!!

Hell ya!
