It was no problem at all; we had a blast. We loved it. Touring quickly became my favorite part of being in a band, and it still is.

The best part was being able to watch Pennywise and Rancid every day, and to have lunch with the bass player for Blessed Union of Souls. Everybody eats together; they don't treat anybody like a headliner or an opener. Everybody is just there to play. It's a great community.

We decided to put something out in the meantime, not to win over new fans, but for the fans that we've had over the years. We had all these songs that had never seen the light of day. This CD is something for the super-fans.

When the opportunity to choreograph came up, it was nothing more in my head but an opportunity. Then it suddenly became a career very quickly.

He just loved it — that was his favorite thing, doing the calculations himself.
