HUNDERWEAR!

DEWD!

"Its been a while!"
- Staind

... since ive posted anything.

"Hundredth" is gettin a ton of stuff done. It's been nothing but productive since the return of
the great Chadbino! (i watched Sandlot today!)

Chad has some sick lyrics, im ready to present them to the world. Soooooo happy with them.

I got a haircut and im more than pleased with it. A fella named Guy cut it. Great job Guy! I learned more about hair during that haircut than i have learned my whole life.



I need to order a new cymbal ASAP on a count that the one i was using exploded. Got paid today so I'll probably do that soon. Very soon. Very very soon. Very very very soon. Real soon. Really soon.

The shop is super stressful lately. Today wasnt so bad, but the past few days ive wanted to lay on the table saw. Not really, but seriously.

I just ripped glue out of the hair on my knuckles. It hurt and made a sound similar to that of velcro.

Keep it real or don't keep it!

Love,

Seeing as there is plenty of idle time on our hands.
Koontz and I decided to build something else.
Mod may be a better word.
My amp started out white (the first picture)
And is currently looking like this.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the special birthday greetings via myspace, phone, etc. It was a good birthday!

Chad comes home soon and it's down to business! Can't wait to see him. Got some cool ideas for songs floatin around though. Should make for a sick album and an amazing live show.

Keep it real or don't keep it!

Keep on Keepin on!

So im back from Tennessee. I went there to visit some family and stuff. It was a good trip.... very much needed.

Started back at work yesterday, still putting in a ton of hours.

I worked on the light boxes some more today. I think they are ready to be sprayed now. Ill probably try to do that by the end of the week. They are looking pretty sick. We still have a ton more stuff to build though.. Lets make a list!

~ Drum Case(s)
~ Back Light boxes (4) at least
~ 2x12 for Alex
~ Case for Chad's Combo
~ Head case for Alex and Joel
~ Pedal board case for Alex and Joel
~ 8x10 cabinet
~ 8x10 cab cases (2)
~ Cases for Alex and Joel's cabs (tentative)

Thats a couple grand.... keep saving guys! haha

So stoked on Chad's return.... It went by so quick, but i have a feeling these next couple of weeks are gonna go REAL slow.

Anywho...

Keep it real or don't keep it!

Love,
Koontz

oh.... i ordered some Tom's the other day. They are sick! have a look.

countdown.

14 days.
