anything i do has already been shot down by your awesomeness. I had a good time playing with you, you've got a really welcoming personality - musically and personally. If you ever need to bury a body, you can definitely trust me
JKJ! Hey hey, good rehearsing with you the other night. It'll be a fun gig i think too. Was checking out some of the Tin Cup stuff today actually, they sound like a fun band... And the Monster will be a well lubed machine by then. We're gearing up for a recording.
