The 2011 "In a Big Warehouse Tour" is over and the Movers would like say thanks to the 150,000 awesome fans who came to see us perform in 57 cities across the U.S. and Canada!
You rocked with us. You high-fived us at the meet and greets. You made great cheese-inspired artwork for Warehouse Mouse. And you gave us rave reviews for our concert (we're the top-rated kids show on Ticketmaster) and our VIP experience (no other act has ever received a 99 percent approval rating).
We just wanted you to know that the feeling's mutual: we're humbled and amazed by the kindness and enthusiasm of all the kids, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends that we encountered at every tour stop. We loved hearing your stories about how the Movers are a part of your daily lives. And we certainly enjoyed all the homemade cards and gifts that made us all feel a little less homesick for our families back in New Orleans.
We have long dreamed of creating a U2-style concert spectacle. We're very proud of the 2011 tour and we believe it's the closest we've come to achieving that vision: real rockers playing their instruments live and doing their best to get a crowd on its feet. It was a beautiful sight to see the whole crowd jumping up and down in unison during the show's finale.
You know what else puts a smile on our face? The fact that we sold slightly more adult tickets than child tickets for this year's tour. The word is out that our shows are just as much as fun for the grown-ups, and you rewarded us by showing up in force. All those references to the Beastie Boys, the Killers, Aerosmith and Van Halen? Those are for you. :-)
The Movers are planning a big spring 2012 tour as well as a few other dates later this year. We hope to see all of you there! In the meantime, please accept our profound thanks for being a part of the Movers team and helping us bring to life this Movers dream.
With respect,
Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty
