i wanted to mention that i went to see Brad at the troubadour the other night. the highlight was not the band, but rather meeting my friend from Rhode Island for the first time.
there is something really unique about knowing someone only through ones and zeros and then actually meeting them in person.
you will have to try it. its really not as scary as you might imagine... its like knowing someone in a dream, then actually seeing them in real life. but its all real.
