So...I never post on here or even ever really use myspace for anything other than to check up on the happenings of the Gib every once in a while. But i need to use it now for a very important notice.

There's been a lot of things going on in my life within the past 8 months or so. Growing up, Japan, new jobs, writing music, people moving away....and everything seems to be pointing in the same direction. This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make but it did not come easy and i will never regret anything I've done up to this point...but I have made the decision to part ways with Kid Gib.
There are millions of things that i will not share with you guys. Not because I don't respect you as fans or want you to hear it....There's just things that you won't understand. I have spent the past 6-7 years travelling, writing, playing, eating, sleeping and breathing with my 3 best friends in the whole world and I will never look back on that with any sort of regret. I have experienced and seen things that some people only dream of. I consider myself very lucky to have been given the opportunity to do the things I've done. It's time to close that chapter of my life and move on to new things. I think there's a time in everyone's life where you come to a fork in the road and you need to make a choice. I have been at that fork for a long time, never really knowing whether to go right or left. I don't know when, how, or why it happened for sure...but i know that i'm making the right coice for me and just like everything else I've ever done...I have no regrets. I'm a firm believer that everything you've done in your life makes you who you are today and I like who I am. I like thinking back about everything from the beginning of the band until right now. There are so many stories and so many experiences that all...in some way or another...contributed to who i am today and what i will become tomorrow. I love my best friends with all of my heart and will still be friends with them until the day I die. Blood is thicker than music, and school, and jobs, and all of that bullshit. And we've been friends for longer than I've known that 2+2=4. That kind of thing doesn't go away.
I also thank everyone around the world that contributed to the best years of my life. The friends, the fans, the fans who became friends, the friends who became fans, and everyone else in between. You all, in some way or another, have made my life better and have given me memories that will stay with me forever. I will not mention any names because to me, every one of you played a part. From the sweetest, cutest fan...to the asshole promoter...you all made my life just a little bit better. Over the years, that adds up to a lot. I fucking love all of you and you will be missed...but never forgotten.
I'm still writing music and will always be playing. I don't know if this stuff will ever see the light of day but i think I'm okay with that. I'm taking some time for me right now to be creative and see where that leads. I have no plans for other projects for a while, but i have to say goodbye to this one. It's been a slice.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will be missed.
Eric

Eric,
thanks for letting us know about your change of plans.

Honestly, I'm completely bummed, because even though i didnt get to
know you that much over the shows that i've been to...You were a huge part
of kid gib, and it'll always be that way with or without you.

Thanks for making the shows amazing, I'll miss you a lot!
But take care, good luck with whatever you got in store, i'm sure you'll be great.


Jackie

ps: pleaseeee come visit toronto when kg plays? :P

Oh Man. That just made me cry. I am glad you are doing what is best for you and very proud of that. I will miss you for sure, you were the whole reason I am friends with Kid Gib and I will never forget that. I will never forget that first walk to go get pizza...or you punching me in the nose. Haha.

I hope that this turn takes you to what you want and need in life. I hope I will get a chance to see you again in the future.


Love, Shippy

Sucks man, but I know how you feel. I keep putting the feeling off because I love the crowds and hoping something's going to happen. But you did good for yourself and the guys. And when the rest of the Gib makes it back down towards NC, I'll miss you! Love ya man.
Take care and keep in touch!
