The cd's pretty cool. Sounds a lot more mature than much of his older stuff. I just bought it on Wednesday but really didn't get a chance to hear it until yesterday.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

start talking, and eventually it'll start to listen... I think.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

Buy floor seats for the second show. Put tickets to first show on ebay. Both shows will sell out, I guarantee it. You will probably make a profit on your tickets, if not, break even.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Or...better yet, go to both. He did that in Salt Lake and each show will be different.

Yeah, well, I can guarantee that he won't play "This Ruined Puzzle" so I have no real desire to see him perform live. I am all about the MXPX and Brandnew.

How do you know he won't play it? He played it at the last show I was at.

Well, word on the street says they're going mostly electric, except for the encore. And as much as I would like to think "This Ruined Puzzle" is a big enough crowd favorite to be played in the three or four song encore, it won't happen. I mean, "The Best Deceptions" has to be in the encore, along with "The Swiss Army Romance," so that leaves two possible songs to be played, tops. And I am not going to get my hopes up, so yeah.

See, if I keep my hopes so low that they're non-existant, they won't get crushed. It's better to have no hope then have it and lose it.

If by debatable you mean not debatable, then yes, it is debatable.

That is my line. Go fly a plane.

I'm glad they have a second show... I didn't buy tkts to the first because floor sold out so fast.... But it's still avaliable for the 5th and I just bought some :mrgreen: ..... Can't wait to see Brand New!..... and Dasboard too.
What I felt before was wrong, I told myself all along, these familiar feelings take away the pain. And with this reason to rebel, I told you how I felt, you turned and sighed and said you couldn't feel a thing for me. And I lost another wish in all of this.

I'm also excited to see Vendetta Red.
