Sorry for the lack of updates. I know all 3 of you want to know whats happening. I haven’t had time to use a computer and give you a real update but I hope to soon. We’re going to see sigur ros tomorrow and I am so excited. In other news, Jenny will be here with me (finally) in just over a week and I couldn’t be happier about it. So. Happy. That’s all for now.

Tonight we played our last show before we are gone for almost 2 months on the road. Although bittersweet, I am so excited and I can’t wait to see what will happen next. Big things are on the horizon for the autumn film. A lot of my friends and family showed up tonight and it was just about the most encouraging thing ever. It just feels really validating to see all the support for what I have chosen to do. I’m sorry to those of you that read this that I wasn’t able to really say hi. I am so glad you came and it means so much to me. Thank you. Write me an email! I would love to hear from you. Cheers.
Oh man. We just played at the belly up venue in aspen. Pretty much everyone who is anyone has played there with pictures on the wall to prove it. It was amazing to say the least. Bob Dylan was there just a couple of nights ago. Incredible stuff. Gah. It’s all happening. I am incredibly lucky in so many different ways. Continue reading ‘Belly Up!’
Copper mountain is awesome. I love it up here and it seems like we were just here. It hailed earlier today. Here’s some pictures.
Johnny Schou, the bass player of a band called “Tickle Me Pink” was found dead on tuesday. It was the day that their first national album was debuting. He was only 22. We are friends with the entire band, and were very upset to hear the news. Our hearts and condolences go out to the band, and all their families. Here’s a news story if you want to learn more.

I am shocked at how differently I perceive arizona now. It’s so crazy to think that other than loving school, I absolutely hated living out here starting back in the summer of 2002 and going until january of 2003. It was so hot. People were so angry and rude. I couldn’t really get to know anyone. Now, Continue reading ‘God Bless Arizona.’
Hello you.
Thanks for coming to check my blog out! It’s been a while, and since I have nothing else to do at this moment, I decided that it’d be a good time for an update. Continue reading ‘A long overdue update.’
We are done with touring. For now.I am back home in Denver, and I have to say it’s pretty weird. I am alone, and already feeling lonely without my bandmates. It’s a strange feeling being so close to 4 other people and then going your separate ways. This morning when I woke up, I was really confused. I didn’t know where I was, or what was happening, and then after a few seconds I realized that I wasn’t on the road anymore, and I was back in my own comfortable bed, and I was alone. Waking up next to 4 people becomes habit after a while, I suppose. Continue reading ‘The End.’
We’re on our last leg of the tour, and it’s getting more beautiful the further north we go.
From Stockton, I drove to Santa Cruz, and it started getting really, really green, and all of a sudden a huge windmill farm was all around us. It was stunning. After that, it never failed to dazzle us. Trees were everywhere, it was so green, and it was a beautiful sunny day. We started listening to Sigur Ros, and I almost started crying. It was too beautiful for words. After that, Patty Griffin summed it up perfectly with two words: “Heavenly Day.” Continue reading ‘The Great Northwest.’
In the back of my mind, and possibly a few other bandmates’ minds, Hollywood was THE gig. It almost felt like everything in the tour was building towards playing at The Key Club. Maybe this was all only in my head, but I guess it affected my thinking a little bit. I think we played well overall, but unfortunately we had some major technical difficulties during the show and Aubrea’s violin was off for the greater part of the show. 
In any case, I had a great time, and I met some of the nicest, most genuine people that we’ve met on the tour so far. We were able to stay with them, and it was so encouraging just to be around them. I hope we’ll be back soon so we can spend more time with them. Continue reading ‘Hollywood is as Hip as Fresno is Freaky.’
