Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone got their fill of turkey (minus all you vegetarians/vegans). Since thanksgiving is all about being thankful I thought I’d make a list of things I’m thankful for. This list is in no specific order.

d-rad asked: Hey man, I actually messaged your booking agent to do a side show on the K tour but he never got back to me.
Would be cool to do a headline show If you guys are up for it?
If not catch you at Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham!

becky-- asked: 25-30 minutes isn't bad really.
do a side show or something :(:(
i'm coming to the manchester date and i am basically coming just for you guys. i hate how there's a barrier, it's not a wonder years show if there are no stage dives :(
but yeah
:D

clag asked: Any ideas on when you guys will let us hear some of the songs currently being written?.....I know that's kind of a stretch. By the way, you guys changed my life, and the Cleveland show was the highlight of my year. Thanks for everything.
lattermike asked: Just pack a couple of toothpicks and a screwdriver. If it ever happens again, stick a tootpick or two in the hole, then screw the nut back in. Did that to my guitar 2/3 years ago and it's never come out since.
betterdaysrec asked: You guys need to let me book another show at the grange in Olympia. Those show were so much fun.
youhatejohn asked: Oh, wow. That's insane. Make a mental note to bring three guitars next time. Haha. I remember you tuning for most of a song. And was wondering what was going on. But, it was definitely a good show. Can't wait to catch you all next time you're in VA/MD.
emilyftw asked: The Upsides show with AL4W at Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA is listed on your site as December 19 and on the Chameleon site as December 12 and December 19. Can I safely assume that the 19th is the correct date to request off work?
youhatejohn asked: what happened to your guitars at the towson show? i think your les paul strap broke? then you switched to another, then ended up using alan's les paul. what happened?
tjcorona asked: At your NYC show last month, there were kids smoking pot during your set. I think Soupy said something, but I can't remember. Does stuff like that piss you off?
youhatejohn asked: how did you enjoy playing in towson recently? i was there and had a blast.
snakebrains-deactivated20101206 asked: does john have a tumblr?
also, you guys need to stroll through WA again. And have quitmyscene book it again.
with all of that said, stoked on your guys re release! I'm very happy with what I've heard

I went to see Motion City Soundtrack last night with Saves the Day and Say Anything. If you have the money and are free when this tour come through your area make sure to go. Motion City Soundtrack was definitely the highlight of the show for me. I’ve seen them like 4 times and they are perfect every time. I got chills watching them.

For it being the first day of writing things went very smoothly. We all had fairly positive attitudes, there were no major arguments, I had a great time, ate Wawa and we wrote a song. I’m sure that the song will change a whole lot before it is finished but it is sounding great as of now. Hopefully tomorrow will go as well as today did.

Billy Joel - Storm Front Queen - Greatest Hits Bush - Sixteen Stone Green Day - Dookie Nirvana - Nevermind The Offspring - Smash No Doubt -...

I found this list of 100 things on thetwelfthfret’s tumblr and decided I would mark off the things I’ve done.
