Hey people!!!

Just got back from a KILLLLLER trip to Europe! Played with some amazing bands at amazing shows with most fluid times!

Really, it made me excited to do music more and to start working on my music.

The whole trip I did by myself. No roadies, bandmates or company. I was fearful of this at first but after a day or two I got really into it. My main concern was that I would miss my trains and planes. For those who don't know me on a personal basis I tend to forget a lot of stuff. I really try to stay on top of things but in my other bands I am usually the last person to be in charge or anything important. I loose money, forget to set alarms and have bad luck! Surprisingly I did not miss one appointment!

During the middle I was only speaking when I would show up to the clubs. That means I would talk to the soundguy and promoter around 4 or 5, play around midnight or one and then go to my hotel. I wouldn't speak again until the next show, the next night. It was pretty weird. I grew up with three brothers and started touring with bands when I was a young teenager. I'd never had that much time to myself ever in my life! It was a pretty rad experience. Mostly to pass time I read Everett True's new Nirvana book while oddly I didn't write that much or listen to music.

I also did some magazine, radio and tv stuff. If it becomes available I will let everyone know. If you see it before I do, please send it my way!

If you want to see the photos, video and text that I updated while on tour it is up on the diary section of my website.. It's not fully updated because I have been having major computer problems. I wrote about that problem more on my personal mog.

Right now I am working on the new HT album. I have a few shows in May. Other then that it is quiet until the fall.

Much respect!
