04.08.11......rumbles

Lo and behold....five months later, a new post!!!! Can it be?! Is it real?!
Yes, but it's not going to be of much importance. Sorry, twelve readers.
Since the last post, here's a summary:
TT went on tour most of March in the US with The Red Chord and Gaza. This included three days at SXSW where I was completely miserable, because I hate heat and I hate people. The numbers for both temperature and poulation during this Austin stint was waaaay too high.
TT went on tour all of April in Europe with Rotten Sound, Gaza, The Kandidate and Haust. Can't describe how much I loved Haust, both as a band as people. Watching an awesome band go on their first tour was a great experience, night after night. Woody and Pal are the Swedish hardcore version of Jay and Silent Bob. I'm not even close to joking.
TT went on tour most of May with Converge and Burning Love. Mr. Colohan and I were able to share the road for the first time in about 11 years of communication. Mr. Pettibone was tour manager. Basically, I was surrounded by friends and played some of our most memorable shows to date.
Between all of this, I was in Seattle working full time. See? There's not much to tell. This is really it.
Next week, TT heads out on tour again, mostly on the west coast with All Pigs Must Die. Looking forward to sweating my balls off in the hottest month of the year. Yum.
I'll get back, go to work, and then do this again starting some time in October until mid-December.
What I'm hoping to have happen is to get done this tour in August and have some sort of mojo reincarnation occur. Take that as you may.
Soundtrack as of late: Fucked Up - DCTL, Young Widows - Old Wounds, Adele - 21, Slave - EP, Techno Animal - Brotherhood..., Victims - A Dissident Celluloid: Red White and Blue, I Saw the Devil, Chaser, The Alien Girl, The Man From Nowhere, Paper Man, I Love You Philip Morris, Newsradio (seasons 1-4, because Jon Lovitz sucks), Pawn Stars....and, of course, Step BrothersLife: only 3 more months and my wife is officially a vet tech, I love my dog more and more every day, and my sister is giving birth any day now, so I'll finally be the chemically imbalances uncle I always knew I could be. Tomorrow is my 3 year wedding anniversary. Choke on them apples, roadblockers.
