Well since I stepped off the stage at the Metro on June 17th I have been in hibernation.  There were things in my life that I needed to give time to and I was unable to do that while dealing with my "band issues".  But now, my life is better then ever and I feel comfortable giving music my attention once again.  Truthfully, I have been itching to get back into a band for a while now.  Everyday it has gnawed on me more and more until it was almost all I could think about.  So I plan on strapping my bass back on and to begin looking for a band to join starting in January.  A lot of you have sent me emails about what I am doing or what I am going to do so I figured this was the best way to answer.  And I am sorry I did not answer your inquires personally, because I do appreciate each and everyone one of you that has reached out and cared.  But this was something I had to deal with on my own and I did not know how it was going to turn out.  Like any relationship that ends badly (relationships don't end on good terms...or else they would not be ending) I needed my space to figure out what I wanted.  And because of this I know that I will never be able to turn away from music, for better or for worse.  Call me a junky, because that is exactly what I feel like.

See you in '08

If you are reading this you know and/or care that I will no longer a part of Digital Mindy after June 17^th 2007.  So I figured I would show my respect to the people that do care by articulating the reasons for me leaving the band I have been a part of for the last 3.5 years.  I feel there is no reason to name names or point fingers because there is not one person in the band that ruined the experience for me or caused me to leave.  What it boils down to is that my heart is not in it and I do not believe in the band or some of its members as much as I did.  Everyone changes over time and we just grew apart as men and musicians.    

Digital Mindy will continue on without me and I am not sure what my next step will be.  One thing is for sure and that is I will always be a supporter of the band I helped build.  You may see me in a metal band sooner then you think, or you may never see me again.  Either way I have reached many of the goals I set out for myself when I first picked up a bass so if it is my time to walk away then so be it.  But I am sure rocking out in my front room will get old after a while…..

I do want to say THANK YOU to every fan that has come to a show, handed out a flyer, bought our swag, played our music and sang our songs with us over the past few years.  Many of you have changed my life and I will always look on those experiences with a smile.  I will miss meeting new fans in new places.  I hope that you will continue to support the band and myself in whatever we do as separate entities. 

I also hope to see all of you June 17^th at the Metro~!

~So as the sun sets in the west I bid you a fond farewell~
