Hello mr. Byerly, the Mothership is doing well, though we just lost Brendon to the city of Los Angeles...its too bad you skipped town as well! I'd love to see another show sometime. Anywhere I can get a disc of some new stuff? Hope all is well in NY.
I can't believe you've moved off to Brooklyn. (I'm jealous!). Sorry I missed your homecoming show during the holidays. What are we going to do here in D-Town now? No Mendel, No Jon..... it's awfully quiet :/
Peace and huge success for you and your tremendous talent!! I have friends in the city I'll send your way.
Hey there ;) Saw your dad today who said you were experiencing NY with every sense wide open. What a great inspiration for the holiday! Mucho sabor para ti!

Pippi's final word on life without authority: "But who tells you when to go to bed at night and things like that?" Asked Annika. "I tell myself," said Pippy. "First I tell myself in a nice friendly way; and then, if I don't mind, I tell myself again more sharply; and if I still don't mind, then I'm in for a spanking- see?"
