What's up folks!?
So I've been where I love the most. On the mountains of North America making turns and hanging with friends. This season we filmed a short segment for the Warren Miller folks at Okemo in VT, and Crested Butte in CO. The film crew was amazing, the locals were kind, and the action was huge! It was an amazing experience, and I am humbled by the talent of the different atheletes that presence I was graced with. I can't wait till next winter when the film will come out. But along with the great riding and filming, I had the pleasure of putting together the best cover band ever. YUKON KORNELIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check us out on you-tube, you will not be dissapointed. WE WILL RETURN TO A MOUNTAIN NEAR YOU!!!

I also just finished up a week with my family at Beaver Creek. Tomorrow I drive to Denver , then fly to C'ville in VA to do a little preproduction before heading out to Seattle to start our recording of our next record. So the times are good, and I hope yours are as well.

You all be well, and enjoy your moment this minute,
It is good,

Stefan

I'm not one to usually comment on blogs like this but fuck, a first time, huh?

Seattle is a good good good place to end the trek ;-)

Looking forward to the WM segments. Can't ski this year (got into a bad accident the day after I got home from The Gorge), so I've gotta live vicariously through everything I can.

Enjoy Denver. Enjoy C'Ville. Enjoy Seattle.

Remember, Seattle has many amazing places to go and fade into the woodwork where you can experience the city how it's meant to be seen.

Ciao.

Corrie in Capitol Hill, Seattle.

Sounds like a great time in the mountains... must have been a blast! Glad you got to have some quality time with the family. The only skiing I got to do this year was one day at Whitetail in PA with the boyfriend. :-/ But we had fun... that's what counts. :-) (Not where but who you’re with that matters…)

Glad to hear you guys are getting back to the studio again. It's been a while, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Just remember not to let the crushing weight of expectations from millions of fans who are eagerly watching and waiting for your next big studio get to you or anything. After all, in the music biz, you’re only as good as your last album, right??

Just kidding… just kidding. Have a ball in Seattle with the gang! Work a little… play a lot… (try to catch some of the beauty of the Olympic Nat. Forest as winter wanes)… maybe even record a tune or two. I’m sure we’ll love whatever gift you guys decide to give your fans.

Oh, and… um… maybe just a bit more cowbell??

Peace and Love

Yukon Kornelius needs to come to Indiana... but there's any mountains around here. Dangit.

I'm extremely thrilled to hear you and the boys are returning to the studio soon. I can't wait until the new record. I'm also extremely thrilled about the summer tour and am anticipating the dates being announced so I can get to starting a plan!

Speaking of summer tour, SAY GOODBYE has NOT been played at Deer Creek since 2000. I've never heard it live...ever (14 shows). I'm working on a website as we speak about the misfortune of me never getting to hear it (yet). Food for thought I suppose :)

Cant wait to see you this year Fonz!!

Your travels sound amazing, you are one blessed boy. I can't wait to check out Y.K. I'm sure it's rockin! But I must say, the most exciting thing you conveyed in your blog was "start our recording of our next record". That's awesome!!! I must say my husband and I were getting a bit worried about this, that maybe it wasn't going to happen. And as for the next tour, he read that you guys were kind of leaving it up in the air to schedule for venues. This had us worried as well. So I'm glad to see that you guys are still joining together to make amazing music and of course, we can't wait for an upcoming tour. DMB is a magical band, there is nothing like you guys out there. I never want to see it end!!! Ok, 'nough said. Enjoy Seattle, that's an amazing city. Peace out Fonz...

May Love Be Within & Peace All Around~
Jenny

I love your outlook, your optimism and your zest for life.

Minus the fact that you are a member of my FAVORITE BAND.


I really do think you are a great person, who obviously has amazing strength. You share, you live, you love, you go through bad times, and you just move on.


Keep on!


I really do love YUKON............because that's like my favorite character from the claymation movies when I was younger n stuff.

Hey Stefan!
So great to hear from you again and sound like an excellent experience. I'm so excited to hear about your upcoming WM film, of course we will be ready to see it too!

And I'm just as excited to hear that you'll be recording again.......we are in anticipation of more great tunes from you and the band especially tour '08.

Yukon Kornelius.....outstanding! While there are no mountains in FL, I hope to be able to see you in your next gig.

You know, Warren Miller is here in Oregon this week, filming at Mt. Bachelor (eh-hem, one of the best mountains on the west coast!). Why are you not here as well, jamming for our locals? Oregon likes good grooves too...and even better, great powder riding (yes, even in May...this year)! Hope we may someday be graced with the presence of outstanding musical talent, we can provide the rest! Take it easy and rock it this summer!
