texas we love you



i just got back to dallas after a late night of practicing for the texas version of the believers. we worked on a bunch of songs and look forward to bringing them to any and all eager listeners after christmas. we got fast jams, slow jams, jam jams, and more jams. its going to be a great time playing with these guys in texas so keep your eye on show dates and tell your friends.

the phone won't quit ringing




played this seed last night. i think i was saying those words over and over in my head all day without knowing it



(call me anytime call me anytime call me anytime)...strange. i'm having troubles coming up with a bridge to the second verse. maybe a rainbow room will help...

perpetual spring at the cave



well we spent the weekend creating the entrance/forest waterfall to the cave. nicole came over to help and continue to make paper her bitch. i couldn't be happier with the way the cave is turning out! as i return home, there are very few things i would rather see when i reach the top of the stairs than a blooming tree and a sparkling waterfall. the inside still needs a trip to the christmas light store and some detailing, but it should be finished soon. then we'll have a photo shoot or something to show you the tent in its entirety.



also spent the day yesterday on a new song for my project, come on sing along. check out myspace to listen to the fruit : www.myspace.com/comeonsingalong
