If my posts appear a bit shorter and less thought out in the coming days, it will probably be because I’ve either A, finally gone mad, or B. packed my things and left for NY. It could also be both.

Nate arrived in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago and I’m really stoked to see him again. We have some new tunes in our pocket and I’m anxious to test them out on live audiences. If you live around the city that means you!

I’m going to miss Massachusetts; but honestly, I’ve traveled so frequently over the last couple of years that I really haven’t really spent much time there anyway. I just hope I can find a nice coffee shop/bookstore in the city that I can call home. I moved to Virginia to focus on material thinking that the countryside here would provide a relaxing environment for my work. And what happened? We got hit by some of the worst weather in Virginia’s history and I was left snowed in without access to caffeine. Screw that. NYC, here I come!

Hope this finds you feeling healthy!

P.S. Kevin from Somojo.net sent me a super kind e-mail today asking me for my thoughts on some ideas he had for the site. How cool is that? As some of you might have seen in my 2009 Year-End Review, I’m a big fan of what he’s doing and am still honored that a’tris was one of the first bands to be featured in his magazine. I’m also pretty stoked that, when I visited his shoutem page today, this is one of the first things that I saw:

It’s nice to feel popular It’s also nice to have the great company of our friends in Spaceship Days and Strobegirl.
