thoughts from the road
update from the van. sat in a van all day fortunately got the power working again so we all have our laptops a’rocking and are happily involved in a massive jar sesh as they say. it is good to be back on the road, especially compared to the alternative which is arguing with a record company. so this is better with out a doubt. there is something magical about travelling with your best friends and even when it sucks, as it does sometimes, it is good to remind ourselves that we are very fortunate to do this. i mean yesterday we got to smash an old computer screen and shoot fireworks. does it get better than this? i submit that it does not!
so random thoughts wiggle through my mind which is numbed by a constant barrage of battle star galactica. i introduced the group to a great show called weeds which has quickly become a van favorite. i am neck deep in a show called conviction...have you heard of it? it is awesome.
so i noticed the other day as we hung out with some “normals” that our little bsf group has pretty our own language by now that most people assume is mere idiocy. while truly idiotic i would say that is not “mere” by any stretch. wubble haussen? what the heck!
some records i am looking forward to...the new bouncing souls...the new strike anywhere...underoath...the look machine’s record is out and can be checked out here...oh i thought my ipod was stolen in san franscisco but it was just lost in the van for over a week. how does that happen? we even vacuumed it out and still i couldn’t find it. then one day it just dropped into my lap, well matt found it. i am still not sure it wasn’t a prank pulled by the guys.
i miss my home and family. after this tour we have three weeks off and then back to europe and then some warped tour then festivals. yawn....
so i think i am trapped in an internet run. i check these websites every day punknews.org thelookmachine.com boysetsfire.org lambgoat.com and myspace.com/boysetsfire and then i run out of steam. is there anything else out there? prolly not huh...

Can't wait to see you guys in NY and NJ. I'd suggest punkbands.com, engadget.com to add to the daily check list.

Dear Boysetsfire,
Please come back to the western area.
You are the most amazing band I have ever seen and I fear I will never see you guys live again.
Come back west. Get better promoters.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Power Remains the same. You boys made me smile hardcore after making me so sad when you said you wouldn't play it.

Please never stop making music and doing what you do. Your new album is incredible. And the show in Houston made my year. --Ray

You guys can never stop touring!
I mean fuck seeing you guys live gave some of the best lasting memories I've had and instantly puts a smile on my face just remembering it.
Everytime I listen to your albums I get the visuals, and remember the feeling... Hope this inspires you to keep doing what you're doing. Your music has touched alot of people deeply, namely YOUR MOM.
