A little it of a side note from the tour, but still related.
Honor Society has a song called Spread The Love, which is a Christmas song, but I feel that without the Christmas aspects, such as the bells, it could be a normal song.
Working with the Salvation Army this tour, they shot the video with the Salvation Army, showing them "spreading the love" and getting others, who are pretty much fans, to also help.
I love them, and I like the concept of the video, but at the same time, I don't. I feel like it is made to look realistic, but it is VERY obvious that all the people in the video are fans. What guy goes on the street to get donations and give out red hearts, and the only people he comes across are young girls? They're fans, I even recognize some of them.
I also don't like how it ends with a kiss. I don't like that stuff, and it's really cheesy.
These are just my opinions, but if you haven't already seen it, you can judge for yourself.

Atlanta, GA.
November 27, 2011, Honor Society was playing at The Five Spot last night. My friend Brittany Kearney was at the concert, so she filled me in, cause we're friends, but I have the OK to use it on here.
The venue help maybe 150 people (she's approximating) and had a bar, and open floor and a stage at the end.
I have been told that both Aaron Camper and Sunderland are pretty great, especially Aaron Camper, he is really nice and amazing to talk to, so if you'll be seeing him, make sure to go have a few words with him. Side Note: Mike Bruno was on the side of the stage with the other guys, and he was looking out into the crowd.
Now on to Honor Society. The suits came out again. Mike introduced Gentleman After Dark by saying "The next song is a little bit, adult swim."
Meet and Greet time. They are officially hugging. Hugs for all. They spoke a bit about Brittany's tattoo (Unpredictable lyrics) and had a few words. Let me just say, they are AMAZING.
After M&G, the guys were just hanging out having a few drinks, and talking to fans. They have a video of Andy singing the $5 foot long Subway song, so if I get a link, I'll post it up here. Jay gave Brittany and her friends guitar picks when they were leaving.
When Brittany was talking to Mike, she, and I quote,"DANCED WITH MICHAEL FUCKING BRUNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Overall, she says that it was a crazy and amazing time with those wonderful guys!

Allison Beaumont went to last night's concert and was kind enough to give me a bit of an update.
"When they came out on stage in thier suits the audience went crazy. They sang my favorite song off thier new CD, Hurricane. After the concert was over, Alex threw his drumstick into the audience and I caught it. Meet and Greet was a picture meet and greet so me and my mom took a picture with them and Alex also signed his drumstick for me. It was an amazing night."

Sabrina Lynn also went last night, and she told me to my eyes out for Gentleman After Dark, because it gets wild. She also said that she got there at 6:30 am, and that people started showing up at 8:00 am, but keep in mind, it started at 4 pm, so people had to get there a bit earlier. She was lucky enough to get two picks (Andy and Jay's). She rocked out during the concert, and Alex said he recognized her. Point being, just have fun, don't worry about looking like a fool, and who knows, you might get their attention!

Find You In The Dark
See U In The Dark
Go check out MuchLove4HS on YouTube, who posted these videos along with a few others.
My opinion. It looks amazing. These great pictures and videos make me so excited for my concert. I like the suits idea, but I wish the suits weren't so matchy-matchy. They say they hate being compared to boybands, but it reminds me of a boyband. Other than that, I can't wait!

A Tale of Risky Business... Part 1.

There will only be FIVE available each night, so if you want your copy, get it quick! And, it's only $10!
Just an update for Meet and Greets, it has confirmed that there are two ways to win meet and greets.
1. Be one of the first people to check in on Flowd. The first five people get a Meet and Greet.
2. Buy merch. Any piece of merch will get you a wristband for a Meet and Greet.
I know people have been wondering if it is just a signing or pictures, but Kat has confirmed to me that it will be pictures, like the old fanclub meet and greets.
I don't know about the merch yet, but I know it's usually between $10 and $50 (max). You can get the CD, or the See U In The Dark bag (if they are still selling them).
We all have a chance to meet them, so get your merch and have fun!

Tour Merch
With every new tour, comes new merchandise.
I'm sure they will have a bunch of shirts, their See U In The Dark bag, CDs and maybe a bracelet (don't hold me to it).
BUT....
We have TWO pieces of merch that have been made public!
The new Honor Society t-shirt. I think it's nice, don't get me wrong, but I do NOT understand the idea of a leopard. Leopards have nothing to do with them.

Next we have the new sweater. It's nice, but I feel like it is going to be made really small, and mostly be junior sizes. Only time will tell, until then, here is a picture.
How I found Honor Society...
I don't know when exactly I found out about Honor Society, but I'm going to assume that it was in 2008. I remember thinking that I wanted them to open for the Jonas Brothers on their Burnin' Up Tour (yes, I know, I have moved on from this faze).
I finally got to see them for the first time on August 29, 2009, at the Jonas Brothers World Tour. I was probably one of three people dancing to their songs from my section, which made them notice me. I left their set two songs early so that I could go get in line for their meet and greet (I won after entering once a day for about two months). We met, talked, laughed, and I got a picture (which I won't put up here for respect of the other girl in the picture).
November 17, 2009, they were finally in Montreal for their first headlining show. Of course, I went. It was when I knew that they were officially my new favorite band. Goodbye Jonas Brothers.
May 1, 2010. The best concert to date. I met them and got soundcheck. I also met some amazing friends.
So now, with this new tour, I will be going to the Montreal show, December 2, 2011. It's been over three years since the first time I was lucky enough to see and meet them. It is amazing how every time they remember me, and are seriously the sweetest guys out there.
To anyone who doesn't know their music, it's $20. It's cheap, and a great show. Try it, if you don't like it, at least you went out and did something. If you do like it, which you will, you have an amazing band and awesome new friends.

Honor Society
Michael and Jason were high school friends who had their share of bands. They met Andrew and added him as bass to their band, with their ex-drummer Kevin. Kevin left, and Alexander, who quit his job as a drummer for the backup band for the Jonas brothers, joined the band, of the name Airbourne.
In 2006, the same year the band became Honor Society, they released their first E.P "The Green Light EP." In 2008. they released their second EP "A Tale of Risky Business."
In 2009, they were signed to Jonas Records, a sub-category of Hollywood Records, and on September 15, 2009, they released their first CD "Fashioonably Late."
October 25, 2011, Honor Society released their third EP titled "A Tale of Risky Business: Part II."
