Franz,

Thanks for your amazing work on my new Cd. You REALLY kicked these songs right out of the park! They sound amazing!
I hope you have fun on tour and I should have a copy for you when you get back.

Glad I got to see you over the weekend, the show was spectacular, and if I hadn't been bouncing around all over the place I would have loved to chat more. I got a big laugh out of the flyer of yours, with the floating-stache picture, and hopefully I'll make it to that show.
Huzzah!

are you going to play the world/inferno show in DC on the 21st? better yet, why don't you haul down major general for the "TBA" opening slot? DC's not that far. and i think franz + wifs within walking distance of my apartment might send me through the stratosphere on joy. cheers.

I fully expected this to be all glockenspiels and toothpicks and yodelling but it's not and I'm really into it! I am envious of your considerable talent. And your toothpicks. Save some CDs and 7"s for the UK!
