holy shiznit dawg i just tried one of those ring tone sites advertised everywhere and they really do work...i got some crystal clear ring tones for my phone instantly. i am talking about some cadillac quality here! you just gotta see for yourself, just copy and paste this site in your browser: http://www.ringksd.com
dILL! it's been too long my friend. I still feel the psychic connection though....like, for example, do I even need to mention D's piano playing on "so far to go"??!!??
i will be in Chi town on the 23rd. I will be quite busy... helping my sister have a baby! I will try to connect with you for lunch or something... can i have your number pleeease?
nice new collection of beats and sounds... very interesting indeed! Hope Chi town is still knocking some sense into ya (ha ha) and glad to see you have some gigs going on...
no chance you guys wanna take a holiday to a cheap motel and hang out at the hotel lounge and drink baileys on ice and sit in the hot tub all night, is there???? maybe ?????
Great to hear your voice on the phone...it's been too long.
I'm so happy for you dude..sounds like things are going just as they are meant to.
All my love,
Txx
oh hey jessie! good to hear (read) from you! have you settled in? have a job? played any gigs down there?
funny you should ask about nordia...i quit for two months to go to bc and, well, just hang out for awhile, but it looks as though i'll be re-applying for work there tomorrow. if i get back on the team, i'll say hi to anyone who may still be there. i dunno.
enjoy the aquarium for me. i would love to go there someday. i used to do volunteer work for an organization called project seahorse who works closely with the aquarium there. in fact, there may be a seahorse display sponsored by project seahorse there...so look out for it. i had nothing to do with it, but look out for it anyway!
happy happy birthday dill spears... wish i could have a happy birthday pickle eating contest with you (and all you dirty minded people can just go piss off, k?)
oh my god dill spears! its so hot, damb hot. i feel sick.
this summer i am going to make techno music out of organic sounds. i am so inspired. you inspire me. wish you were gonna be here for the toochunky jamboree picnic (stay tuned)
