further on

before you go into the city,
know what you're tryin' to find,
and before you walk into the dark,
take with you all of your light,
and you shine it so bright when the highway goes dark,
the white lines are just guides,
moderation is for the monks,
and limits are for the limited ones,
so go baby go,
go on down that road,
the mountains will greet you and the wind, it will sweep you further on,
further on.

weird.

just finished playing the last show of this tour, in hattiesburg, ms... don't wanna go home, wanna go home... we've all been running.

blank

this tour is almost over. we're at a hotel in orange, tx. we play hattiesburg, ms tomorrow night, then we'll be driving all night to get home. i think it's safe to say there's mixed emotions for everyone about going home... the part of it all where we have to readjust to normal life is always weird and frustrating, none of us are looking forward to that... there are definitely things we're all looking forward to as well though. should be an interesting period... there's quite a few things on the plate for the near future... here's a rundown.

- we're releasing a short documentary filmed and edited on the road, chronicling the 5 weeks of this tour, condensed down to 12 and a half minutes. should be up very soon.
- i recorded a few little guitar and vocal versions of some of my favorite songs while on the road. we're going to try to release them all for free soon.
- after april 2nd, we're taking a break from the live show to start working more on preproduction for the next record.
- we're shopping around for a location to start recording the next album. it is largely written, but there's still plenty of planning to do.
- we'll be back on the road in june, doing a short run up and down the coast... tentative dates soon.

more good stuff very soon.

writing...

it's always come in quick bursts for me. a frantic and sleepless evening spent with a guitar, then not another for a long time. i don't like to place limitations around myself that way, it's just an observation though... but if tonight is not one of those, i feel like it's close.

i'm overdue.

days off

suck! they're killin' me. i'm ready to get back on the road. we have a show tonight, then one more day off, then back to it. i can't wait... been using this time to put together something special for the end of this tour. should be out in a week or two! stay tuned!
