Hey there, this is Erin, the DiNG! girl out here on the Music As A Weapon tour. You can generally find me in my booth right next to the stage during the festival part of the show. I’m the one with the new Xbox Ninja Blade game for you to try out, and all of the cell phones and Xboxes with the lovely DiNGs on display. (Check out www.dinglife.com to see what I mean by DiNG!)

Yesterday we were in Erie, PA, where we unfortunately were forced to cancel the outdoor festival. The winds were somewhere around 40 or 50 mph! The tourbus was literally shaking when I woke up that morning. So rather than risking the destruction of the stage and tents and the well-being of the bands and crew, they called off the festival and moved most of the sponsors inside, like Samsung and Affliction, Skull Candy and Hart & Huntington. As for me and DiNG!... Well, there just wasn’t enough space.

After spending way too much time bored on the bus and eating an undisclosed number of snacks, I decided to crash the FYE artist signings – woo! And lucky for you, I brought my camera along with me. Check out a few happy snaps of the guys in Suicide Silence, Bury Your Dead and Chimaira. Yesss! (Perhaps you will recognize a couple of superfans at Chimaira’s signing.)

Just under a month to go and the time is flying on by! Just about time for me to set up here in Bridgeport, CT. If you’re planning on coming out to the show today, or any of the other shows coming up, be sure to stop by the DiNG booth and say hi. See you out there!
