holy cow

it's been ages!

just want to say hi again to everyone in the flofans community! i haven't been here in a long time and i feel really guilty about that. i see we've gained some new members in the last few months which is pretty sweet!

so let's see what's been going on lately... i have a really big show this friday with bayside in NJ on may 18. it's the only acoustic show they're doing and i got a call asking to open for them. can't beat that ay? if you're in the area, please come out to the show. i play at 8:15.

i've been recording new songs for the past 2 months. i'm taking my time with these songs, i'm actually writing them as i record them which is pretty interesting. tonite i just wrote a new song, so i will most likely go record it within the week to see how it sounds. it's a new approach i'm trying.

hmm what else? ah i'm doing a very small midwestern tour in june, just a few shows. i'm taking the trip with my broham to visit some friends, so it's like a mini-tour/vacation. which is really what every tour turns into.

i think that's about all the up to date news. write back and let's catch up ok? it's been too long.

talk to you all soon!

and a texas tour coming up in september for all you texans.

hmm what else... well tour has been amazing for the most part. i've seen a lot of the country this year, and after september i will have seen everything that i've wanted to see in the continental united states. i'll save hawaii for the honeymoon. i just want to thank you all for the support on the new cd, coming to the shows, ordering merchandise online, just for everything. you've all given me strength to keep going and you've put food in my mouth and gas in my tank and rent in my landlord's hands for 6 months now, and i thank you from the bottom of my heart.

i have some new songs a brewin'. i plan on unleashing them soon, don't know how, don't know when, but it will be soon. they're still finding their way from my brain to my hand, and i dont' want to rush that. i think i'll record some demos of them and post them online before i do anything else, just to see what you all think of them.

well that should do it for now. thanks for listening and i'll cath you all soon.

joe.
