    I think it's impossible for you to write something that isn't pure genius.

    Shawn hey haven't been to your page in awhile and just checked in, the Snow song is really cool man,lyrically and energy akin to Ian Anderson like. Hope CA was a good venture for you.
    Nice to see you're at the Space so much, I hope to be back up there with my EoW Duo this spring.

    Best and happy easter.

    i hope "Asia" includes Tokyo!

    happy new year! how have you been? it looks like you're going to be busy in 2007!

    i've been practicing the guitar quite diligently (and avoiding my homework). you would be proud. (i got a baby taylor after all!). my strumming and fingerstyle are both a lot better! i'm still a little skitish around a pick, but i'm working on it.

    i've been making some cassette tapes actually. as soon as i find some way to make copies i'd like to send you one!
