Thank you to everyone who made it...it was a great crowd that really gave back and made it work...we had technical probs(what else is new?) and i was disappointed that we didnt just ignore them and move on...we also got our set cut short and had to modify the order and cut "Things We Said", "Bitter", "So Far Away" and "Beautiful"...big bummer...overall, it was great to play with the 5 of us again...i honestly dont know when/if it will happen again, who knows? there were some people who traveled FAR to be there and i am most humbled and sorry i wasnt able to be more amicable...its not easy to relax and enjoy the late hours of the night when i have three month old, twin boys waiting at home...but thanks to the Kentucky girls, the Ohio girls, the Missouri girls, the Cali girl, and the Boston boys...long drives, long flights...and of course thanks to the NY/LI people who make it ALL the time (and the ones who made it their first time)...hope i didnt miss anyone, but i probably did...the Monday night shows (starting June 28) will be ragged, fun, intimate encounters that will hopefully be special because they will be a beautiful mess...it will be more of a social hang and a chance to sit and talk to all of you who have to wait after a show and only get 30 seconds of small talk...i have no room or time on my life for negative people (who does?!), so come with a smile and have fun...after all we've been through as a band and with you as fans/friends, we all deserve it...
lastly, a sad farewell to Jeff Reid, ex-SR71 bassist...he was a friend and a great guy...he passed away on Friday, i believe, of lung cancer...WAY too young...i dont think he told many people, and we didnt know he was even sick until he passed...Rest in peace, Jeff.

john, you have no idea how bad i wanted to be there.
i am the worst person ever.
John's mere existance and creativity makes up for whatever was just apologized for.
I had a blast.
"Bitter" should NEVER be cut from a set list though. For that...well, rawr.
"i have three month old, twin boys waiting at home"
hmmm, i hadnt heard about this one...
the show sounds like it was great. im happy that everything went well despite any setbacks.

you seriously had no idea john had babies? i had stuff to give to him for them too... but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO **** happens.
wow it's been 3 monhts allready?? damnnnn
I second what Erin said, and will add to that list "John's HONESTY." Because he did not have to be as open about what happened last night as he was with Katie and I. I love the fact that he is so open and honest with us. So yes, John, please, you have absolutely nothing to apologize for.
ps - I told Teresa this last night, but I wanted to tell you too, after you showed me the pictures - you have the most beautiful baby boys.

How I wish I could make it to NY for your shows.... 
I am truly sorry about Jeff... I am really shocked. He was cool live!! :'(
sounded like it was a great show. The wedding was good. actually great. Open Bars are great too. I had a lot of fun but the night remained bitter because all i could think about was not being there. And the fact that my girl broke up with me after 4 years... and lets just say. Nine days was with me and has been with me through all of it. So all i can say is Thanks guys. Your music has inspired me in more ways than you know. Nine Days has become a permanant part of my life, and i wish to keep i that way. I can't wait to really meet you John so you know who "I" am. But all in all, Thanks for the Music.. Don't ever stop making it.

Holly RULES at golf! I think she's practiced before! ;-)
Road trip to steak and shake! 
yes, erin. i've spent every waking hour practicing since the day you said we were playing. 
no seriously, never played before in my life.
you guys NEED to roadtrip to steak n shake.
everyone should experience the wonderfullness that is steak n shake milkshakes.
especially since you can get half and half ones now
with hot fudge!

&&the time i'll waste, just to say goodbye&&
Ummm, should i even ask why that link is ther under all the pictures at picture trail? Not that i looked, but just from the address you can tell it's not a link to another normal album.

>>"Bitter" should NEVER be cut from a set list though. For that...well, rawr.<<
hey erin. how about a lil 'heeHAAW' instead of a rawr?

&&the time i'll waste, just to say goodbye&&
