So, to answer the question: No. I can't surf. I have tried and will keep
trying but as of now I can surf about as good as I can fly.
I did however decide that it was way long over due for me to get a
skateboard. So, when I was in LA last month I stopped into the Brushfire
office and they sent me out with a nice longboard. (and wrist guards.
haha.) So, I have been skating all over the country and it rules. About
time.

Another question people always ask me is what I've been listening to and
I always mention my friend Chad VanGaalen. A lot of people aren't
familiar with his music yet. So, here is a clip of his song Molten
Light. The synchronicity of the French ambulance gives my goose bumps.

Tour has been good. Thank you all for coming down to the shows.
We are in the hills of Vermont today. On our way here the bridge across
Lake Champlain was out when we reached it in the night so we had to race
north through the coal black forested mountains of New York to catch the
last ferry across under the stars. It was amazing. And reminded me of
witches, cloaks, steamy horses and fire. The origins.

Love,
