My beard is huge...

Ive been trying to plan the bands first 'tour'. I am excited about this next step, as it is something I have always wanted to do - That being driving around playing show after show after show. I am even more excited to be at a point where it might actually be significantly important to the bands growth. I feel like we wont be driving all that way just to play in empty coffee houses and bars, like it would have been like a year ago if I had tried. Like it was a year ago even just playing locally...

Not to say that those situations wont happen, but hopefully they will be the rare occasions.

Basically I am just excited to still be making forward progress with the band and with the music.

I could go on and on forever about how awesome it is to have Dave and Jared right by my side and be willing to take these chances as well.

I honestly have never been happier playing music. Never even this close. But Ive also never been this stressed. Its just comforting to know the stress isnt coming from the creative side and that the stress is coming from my attempts to keep up with the forward progress and to keep that progress moving forward.

I could seriously ramble on and on about this forever, and I think anyone who has talked to me in person in the last 6 months knows exactly what I mean. I am anxious, happy, and critical all at the same time. With the studio coming up and all the cities out there just on this coast, there is much work to be done.

But I wouldnt want to be doing anything else. No way.
