These last couple of months have been hell because we've been doing other stuff, everything from videos to Superbowl shows. All the planning that goes into those things drives you nuts. But once you're on the road, you go, 'Oh, we can't do it that day because we have a gig,' and we can't do anything on our day off because it's a day off. So we're all looking forward to getting on the road and getting back to normal.
