Texas ...

So while all those suckers were holed up in a basement studio, I, along with a few others drove down to NYC to see Texas is the Reason's 10 yr anniversary of Do You Know Who You Are? I think I'll pass on the nostalgia and stories of first listening to this band. What is really important is letting all the kids out there know that Santa is in fact a black man. I did not know this. He is not from the north pole but plays the keyboard on St. Marks. I asked him if he knew whether I'd been naughty or nice to which he replied "wwahahahah mee deebeebpidodo!" BUSTED! I still have 25 days to get it together. I then asked his elf who was playing the bass what it's like working for Santa and all he could do was ask me for money. Not really sure what that was all about but I gave him a buck in front of black Santa so I really think there's a good chance I will get Wii with three games hopefully. My apartment doesn't have a chimeny but it shouldn't be an issue.

In other news Texas Is the Reason was great. Moving vehicles put me to sleep in 47 seconds. Rob got mugged and was bitten by a nyc rat the size of a dog. I also slept with a ghetto ditch pig. STREETS OF HATE!

THE BIG TIME

That's right! After two years, we've finally made it! You can't see it in the picture but just to the left of that dude in the bandana was seriously about a hundred kids waiting in line. Ok fine just to the left of that dude was a guy walking his dog picking up it's shit. We tore up Peterborough a few days ago with our good friends in 'BOWT TO SNAP and new friends in 3 Point Stance and there was another band called what the shit but we were at a bar when they played. NOT COOL. Regardless it was a good time and this band definitely gets me laid alot.

Important news! We are for serious recording right now, shit is laid down as I type and there will be another supremely amazing blog that I will write about it with great pictures probably of me singing shirtless and with a horrible beard. Something for everyone to look forward to!

Stay tuned!
