I made it. I did it. It is done. I am a married man.

The wedding was great. We had a wonderful time and an awsome gathering of family and friends. The weather was great, the bride was beautiful, and I am one lucky man. Mexico was awsome and it was really hard to leave, but it is good to be back. I'll throw some pics from the honeymoon up in the next couple of days.

We'll be in Ft. Worth on Wednesday at the White Elephant Saloon, come and show your love, it is our first gig there and we need a good showing from the fans. The schedule is a bit bare right now but we have some shows to add. It looks like we are going to have a pretty awsome show for the 4th of July weekend down in New Braunfels, I'll keep you posted.

It is amazing how much stuff you have to catch up on when you take a week off and go to Mexico. I wouldn't have it any other way though.

Our success depends on your support, thank you for what you have given and will continue to give. We hope to be in your town soon. Spread the word and we'll see you soon.

Well, sleeping is something that hasn't been coming too easily this week, or even sitting still for more than one minute. It is finally here, my wedding is two days away. People keep asking if I am nervous, I suppose that the inability to sleep and restlesness would be indications that I am. I am not nervous to be married, there is just so much planning that has gone into this, I hope the weekend goes well.

Playing in a band, many feel, increases your opportunities to meet women. I suppose it does, and because this is true many a man has looked at me with utter confusion when I tell them I am getting married. I am absoutely getting married, and I will be faithful like an old dog.
I think Chandler Bing (yes, from Friends, which I am willing to argue is one of those things that unifies our generation. Who, born between 1978 and 1985 doesn't know who Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Pheobe, Monica, and Joey are?) said it best when he was describing how miserable dating and meeting women was for him. Sweaty, uncomfortable, nervous, that's how I usually felt when trying to talk to girls I might be interested in. I have heard it described as being "called up to the majors" when you go on date with a really good looking, great, girl. I basically have been called up to the majors for life. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a beautiful woman who not only claims to understand me, but supports whole-heartedly, this crazy trip I am on. I don't do so well on my own.

Married Saturday and off to Mexico for the following week. I am looking forward to that. We'll be back out playing some shows not soon after. We have some gigs in Ft. Worth coming up where we're going to need some support. I hope you are calling your radio stations, even if they say they don't have it, once they get it and know people want to hear they'll play it a lot sooner. Keep up with the website and sign the guestbook, sorry for all the spam getting posted on there.

I've been sitting in one place for too long now. Wish me luck, remember us in you prayers. We'll see you soon and, sorry ladies, after Saturday I will be officially off the market.

Hello friends. How is everyone? I'm in love, at war, and trying to run a band. If you don't think that will keep you busy you have no idea.

The wedding is nearly upon us and I am getting excited, especially to get away to Mexico for a little honeymoonin'. For those of you unmarried you have no idea what I'm going through right now, but for those you married, you are laughing to yourselves right now because you know exactly what I'm going through--with the exception of my cousin Luke.

I am at war with my apartment complex, they seem to have no remorse over the fact that we keep having recurring gas leaks. It is a real bad case of the "man" trying to strongarm my roommate and I into just laying down and taking it. Not me, it is full on battle royale.

As far as I can tell the single spun about 150 times last week. That isn't a bad number but it isn't near enough to get us charted, and if you check this very often you'll remember what that takes. All I can say is call in and request, if they don't have it tell them they are missing out and then post on the guestbook which station you called and I'll do my best to get them a copy.

We'll be in College Station at Uglie's and then out to Poodie's this weekend. I am definately excited about that. We'll be opening for Django Walker in CS and playing with Back Porch Mary at Poodie's. You know, playing is all that I really want to do, but it takes so much work to actually get to do that. I am not much of a business man, I'm not much of a salesman, I'm really just a singer/songwriter, and that's really all I want to do. We'll be getting some help with that real soon, we have to.

Our New Braunfels trip last weekend was great. We had a blast and thanks to Ken, H, and Mel for the hospitality, Drew Kennedy, for letting us open up on Saturday, and all of you who bought CD's.

The more and more folks in this business I get to know the better/worse it makes me feel. Better because the majority of folks, Drew for instance, are fantastic guys enduring the same misery of trying to make a band work that I am. Worse because you see how many talented bands, and musicians that are out there doing all they can just to get by, just like me. I swear sometimes it feels utterly hopeless, and then a little ray of hope will come from somewhere and nudge you just enough to keep going. Playing a song just right, or being on stage when the crowd is really diggin' it is why we do it, but like I said earlier, it is all that has to happen between shows (especially when you get the special task of being band: manager, accountant, booking agent, roadie, leader, and singer) that can really get you down. It must be the middle of the week, I am writing mopey stuff. Enough of this.

I have snuck a pretty poor excuse for a beard back on my face, but it hasn't gone unnoticed. It won't be there long. I hope to see you this weekend. Have a good one.
