This is a sad clown and I’m gonna log out of this platform for good. On the bluesky y’all. Same username. Be good.

I’m at a show with the kid. The headliner just took 10 minutes to explain how to jump and when to jump because they needed it for content. This is the world we live in. Show rules tho. Big fan of mornings listening to this dudes records.

Hey yall, Liz is starting Chemo in about 2 weeks, and a bunch of our family and friends asked, so the angel that is @JoeMaiocco whipped up a uniform for us all. Up for grabs over at thekilograms.com in the webstore!

Yo, little wins. Put in 80 hours of physical work from last Thursday to today, and that’s the most work I’ve done in 15 months. Arm is strong. Back is sore. Ain’t mad one bit.

Oh boy. I just signed on for work. First time in over a year I’m on a job. While navagating home life and Liz and the kiddo, and with a 3 week deadline on a record. Someone tell me I’m fucking dumb. Or not. Tell me I can do it. I’m tired already.

Liz is outta town, so fittingly I sold a bunch of gear and bought a new amp because I’m a grown ass man in a commited relationship and the only thing I’m hiding is my brutal addiction to tone. Goodbye everything, hello vibrulux. It rules. I’m stoked.

I have dived in. Frankie love gave me an old MacBook. There’s a DAW installed. And I have a grip of unfinished things I can now finish. And also start LP6. And also LP1. And also this hardcore band I wanna do. And maybe another real quiet record. And then one that sounds like…

Hour 10 of the ride home post tour, I’m taking a shit in a @cheddarskitchen in Ashland KY and they are playing Paula Cole’s I don’t want to wait. Last time I did this drive @RustonKelly the weakness came out and we listened to it for 6 hours straight. Anyway, here’s wonderwall.

Sunday begins a just about a month straight of travel, with a lull in Liz treatment as her kidneys heal. 2 days rehersal, 6 shows straight. 4 days doing something I can’t talk about, festival weekender. Travel day. 2 days off, 4 days festival work, 3 days off, 4 days working.

I’m eager to get back to the world of working, yet feeling so guilty for having to be away. Grateful for our small army here for Liz and Noi, and grateful for the weekend we’ll have in VA (partial vacation via the band with the fam). So that being said. If you see me next month

And I’m hiding in a green room, not doing the “thing”, it’s because I’m realistically a nervous wreck worrying in my head about my crew, dodging getting sick, and focusing on what’s at home. Stoked for the shows, stoked for the nights, but plz don’t be mad at me for my bubbles ❤️

I’m excited to maybe see @gaslightanthem tonight because of the sheer joy of the oasis reunion in Perkins and @thebrianfallon eyes.
