hey everyone! well, i'm finally back home in los angeles for a
little bit after a few weeks out on the road. i love to travel, but
it can get tiring sometimes. i want to thank all of you who came out
and saw me while i was on the east coast last week. it's always great
to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones as well. you guys
make all of the work and travel worthwhile. for those of you who may
not know, i did some acoustic performances that we'll be posting on
the website for you all to check out. some of you will recognize
patience, but we also did another new song from the record call "good
in goodbye". it's just a little taste of what's to come! the buzz
also continues to grow about the song i did with kara dioguardi
called "temporary". this is my favorite track on the album and i
can't wait for you all to hear it. i also hope you all are enjoying
her on american idol. she's doing a great job.

as some of you may have heard, i'm going to be on the show "one tree
hill". i just shot the first episode this past monday in wilmington,
nc. i have to say that everyone in the cast and on the crew were
awesome to work with. it was a lot of fun to do some tv again! you
guys will have to keep an eye out for the episode when it airs. i
will be performing the song "all in my head" in the first episode and
then be appearing in a second episode as well. i'd love to tell you
what happens, but you'll have to wait to see it for yourselves! trust
me, it'll be worth watching!

also, you have heard me mention a show that i created and produced
with mtv. i want to let you all know that the show is called "taking
the stage" and it's premiering on mtv march 19th at 10et. there will
be 10 episodes in the series. this show is awesome and i know you all
are going to like it. it actually takes place at the school where
drew, justin, and i all went and learned the performing arts. check
it out march 19th!

well, the song patience continues to grow at radio. every week we
see more radio stations beginning to play it. up until know, most of
the stations have been older AC stations, but in a couple weeks, the
pop stations are going to start adding it as well. you all have done
a great job in requesting it so far, but i need you to keep it up,
especially as it goes to pop radio. this is a really important time
for the single and for the album. please don't ever underestimate the
impact you all can have in influencing radio with your calls and
requests! they DO listen to you all. please know that i appreciate it.
 i'll be hitting the road again soon for more promotion and as
always, i hope to see some of you along the way. check the calendar
for where i'll be and if i'm in your area, come out and say hello.
until then, take care and be well.
