Thanks to everyone involved, especially drummer Jeremy George (from Faith & the Muse) for filling in and not only performing brilliantly but helping us in many other countless ways.

Looking back it's hard to believe this was almost seven years ago. I don't know how I feel. I miss doing music more regularly, and I especially miss being in a rock band. I recently saw a bumper sticker that read, "Drum machines are for pussies," and though I don't entirely agree, I get the idea.
