I just wanted to say that you put on a fantastic show last night and I'm quite happy to find out that I got #1 of 100 of Masterpiece Unfinished. Also, I dig the custom art on the cd itself!
It was awesome seeing you last night. I was pleasantly blown away. Voice sounds as great as it always did. Nice meeting you and chatting after your set. I dig the CD i got and look forward to hearing more new stuff. See you next time.
Thanks! (for the hair comment) and also I heard the mixes you gave kepi and both songs sound great. Your trex song is so big and ours is countryish... it's going to be a good fun split. :)
"listen to my story!" kev thanks for adding. you were very influential to the bands music and message. i was lucky to have seen 7secs and talked to you guys on a chain reaction show in '04. take care!
I finally got that pic of the building logo that looked strangely familiar. And being a good fan and following you on twizzitter.... still not quite getting the point of that... maybe it's for iphones, lol. -bill (that NYC paramedic guy)
