Hey Matt (and Co.).

Dave and Mon here in New York City.  We're here doing some climate campaign stuff for Avaaz.org with the climate summit going on in Copenhagen...anyway...heaps of awesome buskers in the subway here and (you can see where this is going) being " I Love New york - you're t-shirt tells me so..." - we naturally thought of you my friend.  Great to be sitting here listenting to some of your new tracks all the way from Kiwi land.  Lots of aroha and keep up the fun.
