Hey Josh ~ Really enjoyed hanging out with you the other week. Hotel San Jose is officially one of the coolest places in Austin! Happy Thanksgiving and hope I get to catch you in the act very soon!
Hey Josh!!!! Thanks for the add! Can't believe it's been seven weeks (today. Spooky!) since I met you! I had an amazing time that night! Hope to see you again soon!
haha yes my night was "explosive" as well!! When are you coming to see me?!? Summer time in Boston can be a "blast"!! And I promise you won't 'blow up" ;)
So, after I read your blog I frantically went out to Amazon to snag my copy of Analog Heart that I've only wanted for oh... hmm...what? A year and a half? NOPE! DENIED, again. Can this masterpiece not be re-released?
Hope you're doing well and can't wait to catch you with Phil this year.
Keep rockin...you're an AMAZING drummer. The more I listen, the more impressed I become.
u were right. he did amazing. and it was good to see jennie with him. havent talked to her in awhile. phil said hes doing another 'living room' show in TX next week? i think u should go if even to just sit in the crowd and cheer him on, since i wont be there to do that this time :)
