So Long. It's Been Forever...
Hi, old friend. It's been awhile. I've been busy with things, and I'm sure you have too. I know we promised to keep in touch, but you know how those things work. No one ever stays around too long.
Yesterday I finished up a 16 day tour. It was pretty awesome. I'm in Blairsville again until Tuesday, when I'm playing in Lawrenceville. Then I'm playing in Atlanta the next night, and the day after that it's back to good ol' BerryHigh School College. I have to go about a week earlier than most everyone else due to my on campus job.
Yesterday was also the day of my last show in the North Georgia area for a pretty good while. For real this time. How long that while will be, I don't know. Just awhile. I feel like I've really lost touch with everything / everyone up here, and it just doesn't feel right anymore.
This post isn't to complain or anything, but rather just to say thanks. Thanks to anyone who ever came to a show, helped promote, bought merch from bands, donated, took pictues, listened, filmed, spoke kind words, hung out before or after shows, helped clean up, anything. People like you are why this crazy thing I started doing four years ago lasted as long as it did. During that span, over 100 different bands played, if you can believe that (I have a list if for some reason you can't)...
This town has broken my heart a lot of times, but made me happier than I could ever imagine at others. If any of you ever need to talk about anything, and I mean anything, I'll always be here. Message me for my phone number, email address, mailing address (yes, I still use "snail" mail), instant messaging handle, or whatever if you don't already have them. Spending nearly my whole life in a dumpy little town, going to college, and then living in a city has taught me a lot. If you're feeling abandoned or inadequate, there is hope. There is always hope. And even if you're not having any problems with anything, I still want to hear from you. Feel free just to say hello sometime; it's always nice to hear a friendly voice these days.
So yea. That's all. Thanks for the memories. Please continue to support local music and art. Without either of those things, what would life be?
