Whew...how are you guys?

I've been absent here for a while...rehearsing 5 days a week, sleeping on buddies couches, you know...livin' the dream!

I just want to let you know you're on my mind. Thanks for all the support, sorry I'm away right now, but I'm trying to get this show kick ass. I feel like this is my best (and maybe last shot, so I'm trying to make the most of it.

Baby crying, body aging, rock rocking...dunno what else to say, busy as heck with interviews still and rehearsals are coming along SMASHINGLY, really excited to rock again.

Bummed about the problems with the pre order, but I can't really do much right now except for apologize...If I had more time and sleep, I'd focus on that exclusively, but my time seems to be best spent on getting the band and show smokin'

Anyways, I have a crushing headache, and an interview to do now. Peace! You guys are the reason we do this.

Rock rock on, meistro! We eagerly await the fruits of your labour (in a non-sexual tense)

Hey. Check this out.

Man, I really hope this tour goes well. I hope a bunch of dickheads don't ruin your "last shot" (Why god?!?!) by being...well, dickheads and focusing on the absence of SYL songs. Wish you the best, Dev.

keep up the amazing work!! i have a crushing headache as well, and my farts really really stink.

Hey. Check this out.

Thanks, I missed that... obviously. If that is the case, I will be taping (video only) with a cannon HD camera. If someone is going to Toronto or Detroit and is taping audio, we should prolly be in touch for a surround matrix...

Thanks for letting us know your appreciate us. Too many artists take their fans for granted, so it's nice to be acknowledged once in a while. Can't wait for the tour- see you in New Orleans!

As long as you can get that rocking rock to roll a bit, keep making and playing music man. The time and space from Decon. and Ghost might just shed the light on them that they require.

Oh yeah, good water is good for a headache, this is good for water http://www.granderwater.com/penergizer.htm

Keep living the dream, Dev!

It's great to hear that the live show is coming together nicely. My expectations are extremely high for the Atlanta show. But no pressure.

Hey Dev, can you give us some hints on the setlist? Especially for the Aussie shows? I'm bringing some noobs along and want to know what to play them from your back catalogue, so they'll know some of the tunes that you play live.
Please!

Thanks Dev, get well, probably wont go to the show, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Thanks for doing what you do

It's a little bit of Dev we knew years ago... always on the run.

Best wishes to You, your family, the show, recording and everything else !

Yeah, always on the run...don't really want to be though, would like to be calm, cool and collected.

As things start going again, I realize the old traits coming back. Sometimes I wonder if the higher levels of success elude me because of the way I handle pressure.

We'll soon see folks, we'll soon see. One can only try his hardest.

My intention is to get the band sounding great, get my gear sounding right, put out some good music, and hope that it all pays off. I enjoy creating and playing, so I hpe thats enough.

Sriously though, the industry is so predicated on people screwing each other that if you choose to stand up for yourself, you end up fighting all the time. I wonder if there's a few battles I should either 'retreat' from, or let destroy themselves because of my principals. I wonder if my principals are just unreasonable?

so to the universe: Guide me in a great direction, I'm doing everything I feel I can.

okay, lets start this day, hopefully yesterdays dramas solve themselves today.
