Who's the most ass-kickinest singer/songwriter/road warrior to ever tour with? Yes, it's this gal right here. Vanessa, it was a real privilege to drum for you. I am just in awe and truly humbled: You did all the driving, sorted out all the logistics and you took good care of me & Kyle. Most importantly, you just brought it every night onstage. You have such devoted fans, and you deserve many more.

Hadron (the) Collider says, ""



The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is being built in a circular tunnel 27 km in circumference. The tunnel is buried around 50 to 175 m. underground. It straddles the Swiss and French borders on the outskirts of Geneva."

Hadron also says, "We were very fortunate to keep ourselves warm by your voice and music last Friday."

Oh hey I remember you! Cool music, I had no idea, I figured you were an electronic artist when you were helping out at Warper. Anyway, the CD is available, but send me your address and I'll send you a free one.
Finally, your music rox. I love 'hungry', totally relate to that sentiment..
