ciao!
ciao from italy the land of hot shows and late buscalls!
greeting from italy, one of my favorite countries in the world. italy is full of warm hearted and generous people who are generally interested in your personal well being. it is wonderfull. today we went to the beach and relaxed and oise and myself went swimming. unfortunately neither one of us were wearing authentic euro beach wear which are the banana hammocks people love to mock when they see euro beaches. it was nice to relax because it wasn’t like that the first few day of tour.
leaving the us was for some reason horrible busy and chaotic. nothing seemed to go right from packing the guitars to putting the chairs back in the van. i dont know why, i guess we had some bad karma lined up. guess you it always gets you in the end. was that the beatles? dont remember...
so much to catch up on....the flight was horrible everyone was sick gene was vomiting chris and i were nauseous. it was awful!
leeds was great it was my birthday (28) and so we rocked it a little bit harder than usually even though we were tired as heck. went to a little club danced ok not really...
bristle was sweet our good friends matt and ivonne came out and hung out with us. matt even sang on ATE. matt sings in a band called funeral for a friend. they are getting married soon...so nice....
oise is kicking ass as a tour manager. and he looks fantastic as he does it. this is his bachelor party which is the saddest one ever!
italy was great....love this country and its people...really do!
gotta go....
bands we hung with....
evergreen terrace
black dahlia murder
most precious blood
damnation a.d.
love you all....see ya!

world cup fever
dear friends,
sorry for not being in touch for a while, but after out fun, but long US tour i took a little break from everything and did pretty much nothing else but watching the world cup 2006 and what can i tell you:
it's some of the most exciting football games (we don't call it soccer where i'm from...so don't even start) ever and especially seeing how well the German team is playing warms my heart and makes me happier than most things...my further predictions are that argentina, the netherlands, england and brasil will be doing really well leading up to a world cup winner Argentina (they better win, since i have a reasonable amount of euros on them...only germany winning would make me not care)...the great ted leo also posted his world cup predictions i saw the other day...check it out here:

other than that i've been listening to the new bouncing souls, idlewild, oasis and the usual intake of sir ryan adams and i just bought tickets to see him in july, so that should be a good excuse for a little binge...
i'm off to the pub now for a goodbye drink with my roomates and i see some of you fellow europeans for these dates...don't forget to come out and say hi!
