Maybe,
You are what you are and you operate the way you operate. You put off your vibe, and no matter how much you try you will never put off any other. All you can do is to be as purely that as you can be, honestly and shamelessly.
The key is:
Honesty and confidence with joy, never ending patience, unshakable calm, and unwavering stability.

You'll Have Time

Live life
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you're gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it, you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?"

Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
Because you're gonna die

Yes it's gonna happen because it's happened to a
Lot people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The president, the kings and the pope
They all had hope

And they muttered just before they went
Maybe, I won't go
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you are

Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die

I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, That guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it's time
You're gonna die
You're gonna die

By the time you hear this I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
'cause we're all gonna die

Yeah, oh maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die

Live life
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you're gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it, you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?"

You are gonna die
Oh yeah

-William Shatner

Tour A

Lotsa stuff in a small van.


Our seating for the next 8 days.


Uncle pleasants in Louisville, KY. That luke in the doorway. This was a cool venue. Nice sound, cool lights, nice stage. Me Likey.


There's the fellas from Carolina, the band that set up the show with us in Louisville.


There's this amazing coffee shop next to Uncle Pleasants. I don't usually drink coffee, but kevin, luke, and I all agreed it was the best coffee we'd had.


Carolina.


Sorry there are no pictures of us playing. I couldn't very well snap pictures and play at the same time.

After the show we went to denny's





We started playing this game where we would stare at a picture of a specific food and try to transmit the message to lukes brain and see if he could guess what food we were looking at. Then he was the transmitter and we would try to guess. This is that process. I can't say it really worked terrificly, but it passed the time and was funny.


We Stayed the night in Evansville, IN with some friends on Kevins. This is Kevin half asleep.


He probably hates this picture. So be it.


This is the sky somewhere between Evansville and St. Louis, MO.


This stuff looked absoloutely crazy in real life.


This is where we played in St. Louis.


It was a weird-ass little venue with a tiny stage. This is the other bands equipment. They are the Sundresses, they are from Cincinnatti.


Nice bartender chic. Bought our record too.


Kevin's Sister Lives in St. Louis, MO. That's where we slept after the show. This is the house. Under a big midwestern sky.

    Kevin has Amazing bed head. It's "morning" in St. Louis.


    Yes, that's Kevin on a childs four-wheeler.



    Yes, that's me on a childs four-wheeler.


    Yes, that's a gun.



    Kevin and Luke...color coordinated.


    Headed out of STL.


    Next Show was in Springfield, IL at a venue called 11 West. Micah Walk set up the show and played with us. It was super cool and we had a lot of fun.
    Unfortunately, My camera was down the street in my van, not in the venue..So you'll just have to imagine it.

    After we played we went and had some fatty greasy shit.


    I can't really explain this one.


    This is the venue we played in Muncie. It's called The living room. Pretty neat place. Cool show. A bunch of people there. They dug it, they supported, they looked good.


    Merch in Muncie


    Kev Kev's Mic.


    The Drums


    Us, in the street, out of focus. Why does that happen?

    Tour C

    Chicago, IL. This is at Kevin's friend Cara's APT. She was kind enough to put us up for two or three nights.


    So, funny story...CJ Boyd, a friend from Nashville, was also up in Chicago at the same time we were. He was playing a show at a coffee shop. We went there and them hung out with him that night. CJ is a philosphy grad student at vanderbuilt.


    So, there was this party. A house party. A party of philosophy students. We went with CJ. Drunk philosopers are funny. Here's Kevin partially drunk. Kevin is not a philosopher. He is but a man. A very atractive man.


    CJ and drunk philosophers.


    Me, out of focus. Why does that happen?


    We had a lot of beautiful days. This was one. Walking to Starbucks in the morning.


    Chicago.


    This is the venue we played in Chicago. The Beat Kitchen.


    This is an Awesome Band called Unfortunaut. Seriosly cool musics. I'm gonna try and get them to Nashville.




    Forty peice chior finished out the night.



    Next day. Still in Chicago.
