TRAVIS MCCOY DOES AN AMY WINEHOUSE AND PUNCHES A CONCERT INSTIGATOR

Well you know how they say roll with the punches. That is certainly the case for one Warped Tour attendee. Travis McCoy lead front man for the band Gym Class Heroes was arrested this evening July 1st in Maryland Heights, Missouri at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater around 8:30pm after his concert.

Travis, 26, punched the heckler after he yelled racial obscenities calling Travis a "fucking ignorant nigger." Travis stopped the show and asked the guy, "did you just call me an ignorant nigger?" The guy said, "Yes I did you fucking ignorant nigger." Travis then asked the guy to come to the front of the stage the guy did and apparently raised a fist, and grabbed Travis's leg that he had injured previous to this concert and was using a cane to get around in so in self defense, Travie then started to punch the guy in the head.



The guy was removed and Travis continued the show. Stopping a few times to apologize for his behavior to his fans.

After the show Missouri police were waiting for Mr. McCoy to take him away. Later learning the instigator in question had a record of aggravated assault and a warrant out for his arrest.

Stay tuned for how things will unfold.

AND AS FOR THE CRACKBERRIES...

BLACKBERRY BOLD

Also slated to come out in July will be the Blackberry 9000, or the Bold. The Blackberry Bold will be sold exclusively by AT&T for a few months and will most prominently feature 3G and a new User Interface (UI). As I blogged about in March, this Blackberry is the first phone that's made me wanna ditch my iPhone because the exterior is pretty slick and the UI looks fresh.



BLACKBERRY THUNDER 9500

For the Verizon kids, Blackberry maker RIM, should be announcing the yet to be named Blackberry 9500, though the name Thunder is going around. This device is slated to be released in the 3 Quarter of the year and will feature a touchscreen. I know touchscreens look slick but I heard that Blackberry wasn't into making them because physical keys made better sense to them, so it's an interesting about face.
