It's been a big summer for Big Time Rush! Not only have they been traveling the country on their Big Time Summer Tour, but they've also started up an exciting new partnership with Nintendo -- including designing their very own Mii characters! J-14 caught up with Logan Henderson to chat all about their summer tour, his good friends Niall Horan and Demi Lovato, and, of course, Nintendo! And to celebrate the partnership, Big Time Rush and Nintendo are giving J-14 readers the exclusive opportunity to create their very own Mario Kart 7 community -- click "Read More" for details.
J-14: In honor of Big Time Rush's partnership with Nintendo, rumor has it there are some Mario Kart 7 demo stations set up at some of the Big Time Summer Tour shows. Have you played any of the fans yet?
Logan Henderson: I haven't gotten a chance to play with the fans, but I've been playing my own on the bus for sure. I've definitely kind of been hiding out in the bus, turning on a video game before the show. I'm pretty great at Mario Kart 7. I don't want to get too cocky here, but I'm feeling like I could probably take on the other three guys pretty easily.
J-14: How about those Mii characters! How crazy was it to see yourself in animated form?
Logan: I grew up playing with those other characters, so for them to make one that looks, you know, pretty similar to me was really kind of weird -- but awesome!
J-14: Other than playing video games to wind down, do you have any other post-show rituals when you're on tour?
Logan: Usually by the time we get off stage, we're pretty hungry -- so we do chow down off stage. But we just kind of hang out in the dressing room and play music with our close friends and family after the show.
