It's on! We're back on the Black Eyed Peas tour.

I just got the news - we're officially on the BEP tour. Contracts are signed, and we are IN. Some things have changed, schedules juggled, concessions made... but it's happening. Here's the scoop:

We lost the Denver and Tacoma show, but gained a double date in L.A. - one of which will be simulcast on pay-per-view and on the intarwebz. Ludacris will be opening the show, then Prototype, then LMFAO, then the Peas. LMFAO and Prototype will essentially be an intermission, but that's actually good - Ludacris will draw a bunch of people in early, who most certainly would have skipped out on seeing us. Of course, I'm going to brag about Ludacris OPENING for my band.

I thought this was dead in the water, but our man Keith Harris (drummer, producer, songwriter for BEP) fought for us and got us back on. Hot damn!

EDIT: Just for fun - here's a pic of me onstage with Prototype last night:

We've been in talks with them for a while, but ultimately it came down to Keith Harris and BEP making it happen.

Most certainly not. I don't have that much interest in the Miami Dolphins.
