News:
Hey hey! Quick update. I was in the studio with Underoath most of the time when they were recording their new record "Lost in the Sound of Separation" last year. A lot of the photos were spread out over my site or on other sites so I wanted to consolidate them into once place to be viewed together. Click here to check out the series!

I'll be on tour with Death Cab for Cutie a couple days before the Birmingham show (May 5th in Birmingham, make sure and come out) and then I'll be back in the San Diego/Carlsbad area sometime mid-may causing a rawkus at Macbeth and other places. Go over and check out: http://www.macbeth.com

They are insanely good.

Hello! Small update this time. First, I have a new merch store!

They have 2 of the best selling shirts and 1 zipup hoodie already in the store, with a brand new one coming this spring!

Third, a couple weeks ago when I was in San Diego working on Macbeth's new catalog photos, I took this photograph of Tom (see below). Tom's new shoe is out and it is amazing, go check it out and order it: The "Matthew" shoe. Oh and if you didn't know (no idea why you wouldn't) but Blink-182 is back together, go over and look at their new site and add them on the million social networking sites theyre on: http://www.blink182.com.
