Me and the friend i'm talking about are going to a few shows on the next tour and hopefully we'll get to meet some of you!

 

My hopes for the next album: I love what we've all heard so far, and I really, really like what i've read from interviews and such so far.

 

Dreams for the future: I'd like to become a Producer/Engineer, I play Keyboards and Guitar and i've been taking camps and lessons for years for my instruments and for my burdgeoning recording/live sound career tongue.gif

 

I hope to see you all on the next tour.
