Did they also request their dressing room to only have a specific color of m&m's? Just kidding, but was it because they didn't want to see you play or were they there when you did? That's just really weird.

as far as i know, they got their right before they were supposed to play. they got caught in bad traffic or something.

That literally makes no sense at all then. Also has to be the dumbest request I have ever heard.

Sounds like The World is... thought y'all weren't the type of big dog crowd pleasers that they wanted opening for them 4th on the bill. They needed someone with big dog status. Did they show up to the gig all wearing these shirts? :
