My best friends and late night drives are all I need stay alive

It's been awhile since I had anything remotely positive to write here, so this should be a breath of fresh air for anyone who reads this.

Yesterday may have been one of the most fun shows I ever had the privilege of playing. I am having an incredibly hard time articulating my words to even express how awesome yesterday was. Seeing everyone come together for every band, even the 2 bands that did not fit the bill (who ultimately disappointed me by packing up their shit and leaving with all of the kids they brought after they were done playing) was such a surreal feeling. It is good to know that local music still has a chance thanks to the kids who come out and give it their all. Huge shout out to Tom and his family for letting the show happen and I hope to be apart of more soon!

After the show and post show activities came to a close, Matt stayed up till about 4:20 AM and talked about a lot of things. One of the things that we talked about was why we pursue music when we know the success rate is low, that it is a constant source of debt and that it isn't the most practical way to make a living. Well shows like yesterday are why. I don't care what my living situation is, if I am able to continue making music and touching lives I'll put up with the worst. Its what I live for.

You guys, the kids that show up to every show and sing their hearts out, you guys are the reason I don't blow my brains out due to crippling depression.

Thank you all.

As long as you guys have your ears and hearts open, I'll be happy.
