My Conversation with Travis McNabb

So Sugarland's drummer was on facebook, by fate, at the same time as me. So I bravely sent him a message, and he was kind enough to respond. So here's how it went down.

Lindsay
Travis?

2:22pmTravis
hello

2:22pmLindsay
Ok. Hey I was wondering if you'd responed to fans or not ?

2:24pmLindsay
You still there?

2:24pmTravis
yes

2:25pmLindsay
Ok sorry. I dind't want to sound like some 12 year old obsessed SL fan, because I'm 14, but anyway. Are ya'll playing a Kenny show tonight?

2:26pmTravis
yes we are

2:26pmLindsay
Ok I saw Thad's and Brandon's twitterand they had some pics of the set up, it looked way different than the regular set up. I saw you guys in Atlanta back in April...So Good

2:27pmTravis
i havent seen the setup yet

2:27pmLindsay
really?

2:27pmTravis
and thanks

2:28pmLindsay
Your Very Welcome. I'm soo excited I'm coming to the recently scheduled September 26th show in Atlanta too

2:29pmTravis is offline.

2:30pmTravis
cool, should be fun

2:31pmLindsay
I hope so :) I don't know if you'd know or not. But are they doing the key contest for that? Because the date isn't on the Fan Club at all

2:31pmTravis
im not sure, sorry

2:32pmLindsay
It's cool. Just checking, while I had someone like you actually responding.

2:33pmLindsay
So have ya'll had any rehearsals for tonight yet?

2:33pmTravis
no, we wont get to cause there r so many bands

2:33pmLindsay
oh yea. I know Gloriana is going to be there. How long is the set, cause he has like 5 openers

2:35pmTravis
i havent seen yet. i would guess an hour or 75 min

2:36pmLindsay
Wow! That's a long set time. So ya'll just chillin then

2:37pmTravis
yes

2:38pmLindsay
Fun! I hope I'm totally not freaking you out right now

2:39pmTravis
no problem

2:40pmLindsay
lolz:) just checkin.I have a random question. I noticed your bass drum (i think that's what it is) the image changes a lot during the show on it. Why?

2:42pmTravis
we are using different icons on this tour: key, feather, umbrella and the heart with wings, so its a way to have all of those images appear on the drum through the show
just using those on posters, our clothing etc

2:42pmLindsay
Ok I totally get most of the symbols, but why a feather

2:43pmTravis
this was all K&J
im not sure

2:44pmLindsay
Nice. I thought it might be. Because Jenn's thing she did for US weekly said she has an obsession for feathers. hmmm

2:45pmTravis
ok, im gonna run

2:45pmLindsay
ok coolness. Thanks for talking

2:45pmTravis
sure. take care

2:45pmLindsay
You too
