Pillow Hide & Seek

Boogie Morning

Dances with Goldfish

Noah's new thing on this visit was his obsession with the camera. He loved watching himself on the monitor, and I rarely got much footage before he started pointing at the camera and saying "Noah! Noah! I want to watch it!"

Here he is dancing and trying to grab the camera:

Noah's 1st Guitar Lesson

I finally had some time to edit the Noah videos from my last trip to Washington. Here is Noah's first guitar lesson:

Good Morning America

We were taping at the Hard Rock in Times Square. I think this was the first time we've ever played in a restaurant. Also, the first time I've ever been in a Hard Rock at 7am. Hopefully the last.

Soundcheck went very smoothly; no major disasters.

And suddenly the place filled up with Billy Ray and Miley fans.






What time again?

What in the world was Diane Sawyer saying at the beginning? "A huge hit off the tack?"



And Schmid Island got more camera time than ever.





Then we busted out a new track.

AOL Sessions

You can see video of the Billy Ray/Miley AOL Sessions show HERE.

Setlist:
The Climb
Full Circle
Butterfly
Back to Tennessee

Miley on Leno

We had the privilege of playing the last-ever outdoor concert on Leno. To celebrate, there was a backstage ice cream bar. It's all about the little things.

We came:


We soundchecked:


We conquered:


And then we waited:

Then we played "The Climb"



Followed by an internet-only performance of "Full Circle"

Noah Visit

Adorable videos coming soon (as soon as I have time to edit them), but here are a few pictures from my last Noah visit in Washington:

L.A. Premiere

The L.A. premiere of the Hannah Montana movie was a big success. I didn't get to see the whole thing, cause we were getting ready to do our thang in the dressing room, but what I did see was very fun and entertaining, and we were all commenting on how gorgeously-shot the movie is.

As the movie ended, the screen lifted, smoke poured out and Miley surprised everyone with a concert.

Here are some pics from our rehearsal with the orchestra:

You Can Still Watch

The RawRhythms show was a lot of fun. The always lovely Molly Jenson even stopped by.

You can see the show in its entirety here.

Wait, It Gets Better...

Check THIS out:


Somebody's really paying attention. They even got my receding hairline right:

I'm flattered...and slightly afraid.

I Am Made of Ones and Zeroes

Quintessential nerd that I am, I was casually browsing IGN for video game news. It's what we nerds do. And out popped a screenshot for the upcoming Hannah Montana: The Movie: The Game. Of course, it's still a work-in-progress (the title alone is proof of that), but have a little look-see:

What is interesting about this? They've duplicated our tour stage. Good for them! With selective attention to detail. They nailed the layout, but notice: no Jaco, no Vashon, no Jamie. Stacy may be hidden behind Hannah. All we see are three (oddly spaced) dancers...and, look at Schmid Island.

Look closer...

I appear to be wearing my actual tour wardrobe (tourdrobe?) and playing some sort of plexiglass plate instead of keyboards (it's the FUTURE!). I'm in a videogame! And they accurately depicted my blindingly white skin. Kudos, game developers, for knowing what matters.

Twouble with Twitters

While we're on the subject, this is awesome:

The 5 Stages of Twitter Acceptance

I'm only reprinting this because of its great relevance:

Where do you fit?

Away

I'm headed up to Washington to spend a week with Noah! Will take lots of pics and videos. In the meantime, here's a cover. Bear with me, I just started playing guitar recently.

Favorite Albums?

I'm compiling a list of my favorite albums of all time: the ones I can listen to any time, all the time, forever.

And I'm wondering -- what are yours?
