G’day world! It’s been a minute since I’ve rambled on here, so cheers to you for joining me. First off, I hope everybody had a very Merry Xmas last week. Besides having the plague that’s been going around for the last two weeks, I had a great holiday season with my family and girlfriend. Right after Xmas, the Shades had to head out east amidst a blizzard to catch 3 shows with the Wallflowers before the year ended. We played 3 cities I’ve never even heard of. Bethlehem, PA. North Hampton, Mass. Rahway, NJ. The shows were great, and their fans are so sweet to us. The guys in the band are some of the best around, and we really missed jamming with them. After the shows, Graham, and I headed back to NYC with Wexler & Co. I’ve been realizing since this passed summer, I have completely fell in love with that city. On the flight out, we flew directly over the city at night and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Like Levon said about, “it kicks your ass at first, but eventually you fall right in love with it.” Couldn’t agree more with that statement regarding NYC. This New Years Eve was the first sober one I’ve had since my early high school days, and it was so great! Benny, and I went out to dinner with my mother, and then Becky and I went out to see Django Unchained. Super nice to be at a movie with the year changing over. No amateur night shenanigans for us (except for our upstairs neighbors) so all was mellow and amazing.
All of us here at Good Land are excited for 2013 and what it has in store! Stay tuned and get pumped for the future!
