(to be honest, we thought we were going to.) We&#8217;re heading your way next month to play our final show of the year. How exciting is that?! I guess you could say we saved the best for last? Don&#8217;t tell all the other cities I said that, or it&#8217;ll send the entire United States into a jealous rage which will result in a not-so-civil civil war.<\/p>\n<p>On December 17th, we&#8217;ll be joining our new friends,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/t.opsp.in\/16sqZ\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-=\"\">I Fight Dragons<\/a>, in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/t.opsp.in\/16sqa\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-=\"\">Chicago<\/a>\u00a0for their album release show at The Metro. (Nice bit of trivia &#8211; their new album &#8220;KABOOM!&#8221; was produced by Murfreesboro&#8217;s own Matt Mahaffey.) This fancy show is going to be a nice end cap to our recent super awesome tour together.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of our recent super awesome tour together, it was an incredible time. If you came out to party with us and the dragon fighters, we&#8217;d like to thank the shit out of you for bringing plenty of thunder with you. On the other hand, I&#8217;d like to personally not thank whoever thought it was a good idea to bring ticks to the party, because it turns out that Panther played nearly all of this last tour with a fierce case of the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Ticks and parties don&#8217;t mix, people. How many times do we have to tell you? As for the rest of you non tick-bringers, it was a blast, and hope to see you again soon\u2026 perhaps in Chicago??<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning on coming, you should get your tickets immediately. And when I say, &#8220;get your tickets immediately,&#8221; I mean all four of those words. Don&#8217;t get all pissy britches when it&#8217;s the day of the show and you can&#8217;t get in, because you forgot to buy pre-sale tickets. In fact, start spreading the word to everyone you know about getting these tickets early. Like they always say, &#8220;the early bird makes the donuts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss this show.
