		WORDS FROM NICK: Whatsup people? We really seemed to have hit the ground running of this fall tour. Here's why: Chad's great idea. Practice once a week during the month break between tours to keep fluid. It worked like a charm. The first show of the tour at Dodgers didn't have any of that slight awkwardness that usual comes with the tour opener. Anyway, thanks to all the street teamers that helped make "Tread" #1. Didn't see that coming. Thank you!! We're gonna mix it up a lot this tour. Remember, if you bring a sign with some obscure song you know we haven't played in ages it doesn't have a chance. However, the Bulletin Board petitions for song requests have been passed along to us early enough so we can be prepared. Ya know? Hope to see you soon. Rock! Nick

"DON'T TREAD ON ME" SOARS TO #1: Congratulations to 311 on another #1 single on the R&R Modern Rock Radio Chart!! This is 311's third #1 radio single (Down, Love Song & Don't Tread On Me). Thanks to everyone that requested the song! THE NEXT SINGLE: It looks like the next single from the new album will be "Speak Easy." We are preparing for a November 15th launch! More details to come once everything is confirmed. When you hear the song on the radio, be sure to call your favorite radio station with a request and lets continue to have 311 rockin' the airwaves!! Visit the Radio Request Page at 311.com to find your local station's request line info.
