hello everybody!!!

hope all is well.. i have decided to start a blog.. it has been on m mind for sometime now but after long thought i have moved forward and here i am writing my first post.

i am back in new york after five or so days in the craziness of austin for sxsw! my band flew down there to play at stubb’s on tuesday (THANKS TO OURSTAGE and PASTE). it was very weird.. we had no idea what stubbs was until we arrived. i told some friends of mine who had been to sxsw about where we were playing and each time their response was excitement but i didn’t understand why. i didn’t realize until we got there that stubb’s is a large outdoor amphitheatre where REM played the following night. It was an incredible experience starting with a relaxed soundcheck to the sun setting while we were playing. the line up was awesome as well! after we played it was kaki king, addictive tv, and moby.

it was funny because we had a show a few days later in south austin.. (20 min in a cab from downtown) so no one was there except about four people. so tuesday we had a great audience, environment, etc and then thursday we were thrown right back into reality! it was perfect!

i flew back last night and had a connection in atlanta.. there was an electrical storm so close to the plane! i was freaking out… i looked over to my left and every second there were huge flashes of lightning spreading across the sky… oh man i had to take lots of deep breaths to keep myself calm until i couldn’t see the lightning anymore.

but here i am back on the ground…
