Hey! This is my 2nd time posting! I'm not sure if you guys read my other one. But, I went to your show with Puddle Of Mudd in Myrtle Beach. It kicked major a$$! You guys are so talented. And so inspiring. I got to hang out with you all a lil bit, and you guys are really down to earth. I will def. see you guys again. Most likely when you come back with Trapt. Hope all is well, and Sean, I hope you feel better baby. Love to you all *muahs* xoxoAmberxoxo

Hey Hey Derek!! I just wanted to say that I really do love you guys' music, because I can relate to most of the songs in some shape or form. I've also listened to your songs close enough to actually listen and hear the stories behind them. I'd have to say that "Bottom of a Bottle" and "Silhouettes" are my favorite. The songs that I most relate to would have to be "For You" and "The Other Side." The first time I heard you're songs playing on the radio I was at a point in my life where I didn't care what happened to me in the future, but hearing your songs made me rethink things over and has helped me a lot. So I would like to say thanks for all you've done for me and so many other people out there in the world who feel the same way. Can't wait for you guys to play here in Maine!! I'm definately going to be there. Well anyways.. Good luck with the tours and keep on keeping on. --> P.S. If you shall decided to e-mail me I'm at ShortyBabygirl46@netscape.com Lataz

heyy this is my second time posting and i really enjoy ready your journals. i cant wait to see your new music video.. sillouettes is one of my favorite songs after 1.i want my life and 2. with this knife, i play the guitar and i can play almost all of you songs on it. ive been working really hard to get them right. as soon as im good enough i hope to start a band with a few of my friends... when and if i start a band the music is going to be the same style as yours.. because i hate all other styles of music.. ive been writing some songs and your songs have really inspired me to write good lyrics... i dont know if you read my first entry....or if you are even going to read this one.. but i appreciate you guys so much i wouldnt be able to survive if it wasnt for your lyrics and songs.. i hope to see you in concert soon.. if you read this entry please let me know by emailing me at roxygrl25@aol.com.. i would really appreciate that.. thanks<3

Hey you guys. i have defenitley been checkin the tour dates but you guys arents commin close to tampa at all. i am goin to try to make it to the jacksonville concert with trapt. Sean i hope you feel better!! eat some soup! lol. thats what my mom gives me when i get sick. thanx derek for the advice i know you werent talkin about me cuz i havent wrote anything here about my life but it makes me feel better. my parents found out stuff about me and they might put me on medication which i dont think i need but i cant do anythin about it now. well you guys keep rockin! ahve fun touring!!! lots of love to all of you!

I hope Sean feels better!!!!! Eat alot of soup that always helps and get some rest. And Derek and Ryan dont catch whatever hes got that will be real bad. Take Care!!!

~*Stacie*~

hey guys!!! Sean im sry to hear that ur sick. i hope u feel better. i can't wait til u guys play in Chicago and Milwaukee. c u guys soon bye

Hey...
We couldn't go to ya'lls show in Tulsa cuz we got in BIG trouble. We had Meet and Greet passes. We missed you all though.
Love, Peace and Chicken Grease,
Chelsea and Katie

Hey Derek i was one that was upset.But not that bad.For the most part the whole night was great.Even when them girls were rude to me.Everyone in line had my back.That made me feel good.The show was great and it was nice meeting you guys.Plus the next night.When my best friend from home called me.We were talking and she told me i sounded happy.She said i sounded happier than i have in months.Music and concerts help me a bit.I will be at the Pops Show.Man i can't wait for that and baseball season to start.It's been a long winter.

hey guys,
when yall write journals it seriously cheers up my day. i love how much you guys interact with your fans, we really appriciate it. ive met you guys 2times, and my best friend got a kiss on the cheek from derek in philly.your my fav. band!! cant wait to see you guys again in philly on march 5th, promise you'll take pic's with us again. it would mean the world!
-katie

Awwwwwwwwww I'm so jealous of a lot of these people! They keep talking about how they met you and talked to you for a little bit. Of course, I didn't get to do that when I saw you in concert; you guys left too soon!! Unfair...
Uhm, anywho, I was posting for a reason other than stating my JEALOUSY. I have a question for Sean: What's your favorite mammal? ( I'd say animal, but this surprise I'm planning on doing can't really consist of something like a bird or reptile. ) PLEASE ANSWER ( through email or journal, I don't care ) or I shall be mad. MAD I SAY!!!!

...please? :(

I just got your cd a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. Then I had to came to the website just to check it out. You guys seem so cool, you actually have journals and write in them, other bands dont do that. You also seem intouch with your fans, that is so cool.

hey guys,
this is tricia from stl, i got to hang out with you guys for a little bit monday night when you were here, sorry it wasn't a better time but monday nights here are kind of boring, i had to miss the show too, my b/f was in an accident monday night/tues morning, but i just wanted to let you guys know your pretty cool to hang with (sorry my cousin acted so psycho)but o well good luck with the rest of your tour, peace

Hey Derek,

~~~~ Number one fan in NY~~~~~

hey you guys r so awsom! i lov all ur songs n can can totally relate to half of them. its like all the things i wanna say but cant put into words...its weird...sometimes i gota remind myself u the ones singin n writin it, and not myself. anyway i hope to cya in concert soon...i was gonna go a couple weeks ago w/ puddle of mudd, but it was on feb 3rd..my lil bro's b-day (and i gotta love em) so maybe i can go next time. keep up the great work, its so inspiring, u have no idea!

Hey! I was happy to read a new entry, made my day! I hope Sean is feeling better! I know that it made you guys feel horrible, but you have to take care of yourselves! You can always go back. I wish I could win the trip, but with my luck, it will never happen! I'm excited for a new video. I have my Mom hooked on your CD, we listen to it everywhere. I really like "The Other Side", I can definitely relate. I e-mailed you before and you e-mailed me back, in it I told you about coming to PA. It's still up! Northeastern PA sucks, there are like no good concerts here ever. Anyways, hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks for the uplifting thoughts towards the end of your entry. I think we all need that time to time. Your music definitely helps. I know I don't know what I'd do without it right now.

hey hey hey.... im still very mad that you guys wont be able to come down near tampa!! like samantha im also very jelous that some ppl have met you guys and i havent!! well derek and ryan you both should take care of sean but dont get sick eaither that would be horrible. thanx alot again for wut you guys do. i really do relate alot to your lyrics and it makes me feel alot better when i notice that im not the only one that feels the way i do. neway thanx alot again and good luck touring!!! take care you guys!!! LOTS OF LOVE....

Hi... first i would like to say that ur music is amazing, i cant tell you the last time i was so touched by the lyrics of a song the way i was the first time i heard your cd... its the kind of cd u lock urself in a room and listen for days to just soak it all in ... well for me anyways...well the reason i am writing this is bc i got tickets to see you guys at the starland ballroom march 19th... but i just looked on the starland web page n it doesnt say you guys are playing with puddel of mudd that night. some web sites say you are playing that night n others dont so im confused... im really not much of a puddel of mudd fan so if you guys arent playing im just gonna sell the tix. if you could just let me know if u guys are playing that night it would be so awsome thanx so much... and thankyou for making ur music ... ass cheesy as that may sound =)

Yo Derek,
I can't wait til you guys come back to Los Angeles because I have to see you guys live again, you guys kick serious a**. Yes I am a good girl, i don't like to curse. oh yeah your mom e-mailed me and I have to tell you that you have such a sweet mother. well gotta go but I hope you have a happy valentine's day.

Day Dance, and there was this boy that came up behind me and grab my butt and said " hey baby " so i came around and hit him in the face my teacher saw the whole thing and said that i had the right to hit him but i feel bad cuz his eye quickly started purpleing up. But i brought my cd of yalls and told them to play " Bottom of a bottle, and Sillouettes and Nowhere Kids" it was so kool cuz they turned it up really loud i just wished it was yall singin it it person u know but i had fun. Sean, Ryan and Derek yall are the most talented ppl ever thats why i luv yall so much!! Exspecialy Sean thats really kool that u wrote all of the songs cuz some ppl get them to do it 4 them and yalls songs are so inspired to ppl that are downed and out but Ryan and Derek yall r pimp,lol , but i will talk 2 yall later cuz 2day is Valentines Day and know yall r probaly doin something i know i aint im goin to be just sittin home 2day, but cant wait till next reply bye yall luv ya, Leslie Tanner ( down here in Florida )

That sux that you had to cancel the show, but the fans should understand. I went to ozzfest this summer in Auburn Washington and ozzy didnt play because he had layringitis.

YO IS TODAY SEANS BIRTHDAY?!?!?!??!!??!?!??!!??!??!?!?!?! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER ME!

Are you guys coming to Denver any time soon?

Hello again.
Ya know what Sean? I can understand what you went through as a child. I had a lonesome childhood, I was all alone, my dad was at work most of the time, we lived in this bad house that was cold all winter and hot all summer, and oklahoma has really cold winters. I am an only child, so I never had anybody to talk to, I didnt get my first pet until I was about 9. My doggy.The only thing I had to be with was my stuffed monkey.....munk munk, i got the name off of the cartoon douge.I watched alot of tv. Even as of now, I still feel weird around people, cause i was never around any, up until I got to school, even then I was the weird loner girl.My aunt made me go to church wih her.It sucked, I hated that fake ass sunday school bullshit.I had to get up early and make myself look all pretty and wear a dress, when all I wanted to do was play with my stuffed monkey in jeans and a shirt.Now I live with my dad in a nice little house with 5 pets and I have so many friends now, Its the happiest point in my life so far. Its always nice to have something you can turn to though, when youre feeling down, instead of munk munk, I have you guys, and you have no idea how much more happier I am when I hear your voice, its soothing, its sexy, and it calms me down. So thank you guys so much for being there.
love much and
later days

Hey. Sorry to hear Sean got sick. I hope he's better soon. And..um...yeah i'd just like to say to all the people out there that are hurting that they should be happy no matter what because the pain will go away eventually and then one day you'll be looking back and thinking it wasn't really anything to be sad over or anything. Well i wish you all happiness.

Oh! and here's this sorta song thing i made up. Let me know what you think.

Its time to open my eyes. Time to melt away the ice. Scream out loud and run outside. Kill the pain inside.
Wake up from dreams. Wake into life. Stop the tears and drop the knife. Cause i don't know why. I don't know how. I cannot find. Myself.
We must all let ourselves come out. We must all shed away our masks. Let all of our faults reign out.
Listen to me. Follow your soul. Let out your life. Follow me now. Into the light.
Follow me...into...the light. Wake up..your soul..inside.

Okie. It's a work in progress..but still let me know what you all think.

Thanks

HEY GUYS WE (J.O.O) ARE TRYING TO WRITE SOMETHING REALLY ORIGINAL FOR OUR DEMO(TO GIVE TO YOU GUYS) BUT WE ARE HAVE A MAJOR BRAIN CLOUD AND I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING!!!

Sarah

Hey, You guys are awesome!! You should do a show in Portland, OR:) I know that we would love to see you here, and we'd be an awesome audience:)

Hey, I know you guys hear this all the time, but you rock!!! I was watchin the "Nowhere Kids" video and I couldn't help but notice your guitar in the beginning. Are you a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac fan because it looks like you have Z? on your guitar. If it isn't that, then what is it? I'd appriciate it if I got an awnser. Thanks. -Bryan-

Hey guys its Travis again at my friends house listing to thearpy just chillin' so sean r u feeling better i hope so, hope derek and ryan r doing well, havent heard from ryan in a while, yo guys know why i love you guys so much its because i feel like i know you guys just by reading your journalentries and posting comments its a really cool way to know that you are really talking to your favorite band because you guys unlike these asshole bands who really dont care about their fans, you guys r just normal guys and i am inspired by that i admire you guys i have a band of my own our name is "The Better Side of Middle", and were hoping of getting signed one day because i want to give people the feelings that you guys give me just listing to the music and feeling inspired by it because i like many of your other fans have gotten through some very hard times just listening to your guys words and it is really thearaputic(no pun intended) this is only the third time i've posted, I saw you guys when you came through murray and ever since that night i have just been inspired to write music, during the concert i heard sean say if ya wanna chat with us we will be at the merch booth but threr was a rather large crowd so i really couldnt get there but after the show i went through the lobby and sean you were standing there talking to two other fans so i really didnt wanna butt in so i went outside and there i were i believe i saw derek and if it was were you talking to a fan about a "Rock guitar"? oh well when you guys were playing the show did you see a kid with a teenage kurt cobaun shirt on with glasses if so that was me, well derek sean ryan if you read this i hope you respond but you might not have time but what ever love you guys. peace, later

Hey! i love you guys so much!! I can't wait to see you again with trapt and finger eleven in cleveland. I saw you when you came last time in april with trapt and three days grace. And you guys were sweet ass then and i'm so excited to see you again. I'm even doing you song this is war for an english project that i have to do about war. I wanna meet you when you come to cleveland is there anyway i can get like meet and greet tickets. Cause you guys are awesome i love the song nowhere kids with this knife and i want my life. You guys kick ass can't wait to see ya!!~ Megan~

Hey guys! Happy Valentine's DAy! I hope that u had a good time today and tonight. Derek, I have to say that I love reading what u write. And singling out fans to respond, that has got to be the coolest thing a band could do! ONe of these days I'll get the pictures that I took of u and the rest of the guys sent to you. I just never seem to have the time. I'm always having to listen to new CD's and stuff. BTW, I hadn't listened to SES in awhile, and just did again. I so love the music! U guys will have a longgg career methinks. I hope u guys come to the VA BEach/NOrfolk area again. I know u r going to Richmond, but some of us can't roadtrip during the week. Ah well. I hope u guys sell every show out that u do. U deserve it! Take care of yourselves. I hope Sean didn't have that nasty bug that I had that lasts FOREVER and gives u pneumonia! It sucks! I can't get rid of the thing completely.Take it easy guys. Much love to you!

Denise

Hey, I Just started coming to this site, but I have been listening to SES for a while. I caught them playin in Dayton, Ohio last summer, and that was one hell of a show! I briefly Met Derek, cool guy. I think that its awesome that he takes the time to talk to and read comments from his fans...I really admire bands who do that! I'm gonna try to do whatever I can to catch a show when they roll through Detroit, but hell, maybe if i can't ill have to do some more concert travelling (I'm notorious for that, hence, Dayton, lol) I'd love to meet the guys! Keep Rockin! \m/

WOW I ASKED ALOT OF QUESTIONS!!! sorry

HEY SEAN, DEREK, RYAN!

I was at the show in Springfield last week, and i think i speek for everyone in saying we wanted to see you guys a hell of a lot more than mudd. I mean I had seen POM live, and it was good, but I have NEVER seen you guys live...EVER! And i can't go to another concert for 6 months since i bitched about not being satisfied cause you guys didn't perform, but hey it's only 6 months.
I went over to the ambulance to see who was sick and they said Sean was, so i said i was his cousin, which im not, but they still didn't let me in. But i was just happy that you guys came out and apologized for the show. That was really cool, guys. Any other band would have just left and said screw you guys. I think the only thing i wasn't happy about was when you guys signed merch at the booth before POM's performance, cause i didn't get to see ya!!!!!!
but hey, you're the best band in the world....and i hope i can get to open for you some day.
keep rockin!

-Ben

hey guys...
cant wait till the SNOW CORE TOUR. haha. Im taking my friend jess cuz her other "friends" ditched her. She was suppose to go to the BRandnew show on april 15 but they got theyre tickets witout tellin her (horrible, i know), but i told her id make it up to her by takin her to see u guys at webster theatre in march. Im making sure i spread the most amazing music to all my friends..im always playing ur cd. EVERYDAY..haha,that makes me sound like such a freak. im really not hah. ANYWAYS, Ill keep commenting... I check this site out everyday. LOVE U GUYS, keep rockin out..oh and "silouettes" is gonna be an awesome single. **later**
~Brittney (thats my REAL name haha)

Hey guys.
You need 2 put some more pictures on here. I want some more. I've already printed them out and put them on my wall. I need more to go with the rest of the stuff. I have pictures,from here and internet,I have a poster I made,the towel Derek used in Tulsa @ the Cain's giving autographs(still mad that I didnt get Seans,but its ok he was sick),the bottle I had,the cd case with ticket inside,with autogaraph(2),the shirt From edgefest with autographs...the list goes on and on,but not my fingers!!
Love Much &
Later Days

i'm sure you probably dont feel like listening to problems right now but i was listening to your cd earlier and it was just making me think a lot..one of my friends was about to move back to where she used to live just recently if her mom didnt get a job..and shes helped me through so much and i dont know what would happen to me if she left..well i started getting depressed..i dont really think its necessary for me to tell the whole story but a lot of depression and thinking about drugs again was involved but i just wanna let you know that your cd was the one that made me get through her situation as is mine..and i wanna thank you guys for that..i love yall! so like always keep rockin and stayin true to us fans..you rock my socks..
love always you know who

--Grace <3

Hmm, yeah, I'm putting my last initial on here now 'cause there's another Samantha. Oh, by the way, I'm the one who asked about Sean's favorite mammal ( Make him answer that, damnit! ). Anywho, funny story: My mom and I were listening to your cd on the way home today and started talking about your concert we went and saw. Then, out of no where, she said, " The drummer is NICE looking; he's got some muscles on him! " It was so weird to hear my MOM say something like that. 'Specially about someone who's young enough to be her son! I mean, woo... yeah... This was pointless to post. :P
I DON'T CARE I love you.

hey guyz whatsup its lukas again and i was just visiting ur site. i just want to say u guyz rock and keep it up. and if u read this plz put my name in the next journal u write that will make my day plz guyz. peace out keep rockin. lukas

Hey guys!!! Well this is ma first time posting and I have seen you 3 times so far. I will be seeing you March 5th at the Troc here in Philly. I saw you here with Trapt, Fuel, and Puddle Of Mudd. I was front row center for the Fuel and POM shows. Great stuff!!! Funny story is that you guys are my favorite band without a doubt and I only found out about you because of my now ex-girlfriend. I hope you get better and are not sick when you come here because im bringing a lot of co-workers with me because I've told em how great you guys are live. One of ma friends never heard of u before and he heard Silhouettes live and fell in love with ya'z heh. My favorite song of yours is SATURDAY and PLEASE DON'T STOP PLAYING THAT LIVE!!! I am so looking forward to hearing it in March. I'm a big country fan too so when Sean says 'this is our little country number' I go nuts every time! When you guys put a new album together I hope that is on there. Well keep rockin out and make your way to Philly safe and healthy so we can tear the roof off that old place! \m/(><)\m/

Hey dude!! I cant wait to see you guys in Minniapolas!! I hope i get to meet you guys!!! I love your cd!!! I cant wait untile your next video!!! It's going to kick ass!!!

Hey Derek...just wanted to say that it's hella cool that you try to reach others through your journal entries. I saw you guys with Steriogram in Reno, Nevada. Yeah...you kinda signed my chest "area". My Mom was in the mosh pit and she caught a pic from Sean in her mouth. It was great. I also got some great ass pictures from the concert. You guys kicked ass. Recently my boyfriend raped me and beat the shit out of me... that's also why I was at your concert in November...so I moved to Portland, Oregon and discovered that I am pregnant. Anyways - what I was getting to was that if you come back to Oregon I'll be front row. Send my love to the boys and keep kickin ass!!! xoxo Angel Marie

Oi Derek! Wow...its really cool that you guys do these journal entry things. Its amazing to see one of my favorite bands does shit like this. How the hell do you guys find the time? Most bands come off with that "oh, we never haven the time to answer all the fan stuff" and yet you guys are keeping in touch with your fans fine ^_^ Really cool, keep it up. anyways, i cant wait to see you guys live. Ive been begging my parents to take me to a concert, but they complain that i listen to too much loud music (the whole metal scene). If i can convince them to get me to a Linkin Park concert, they have to let me come see you guys. Anyways, im going on and on too much. On a deprating note, id just like to say...SEAN YOUR SO HOT OMG. Haha, this is gonna piss off my boyfriend. Later guys

PS- i happen to be an artist so expect one of my wacked out drawings to come in your mail from me ;)

******DEREK, SEAN & RYAN*******
*******************************

Hey guys, sux to hear Sean isn't feeling well...hope you get better real soon:) I am waiting to hear how I can send you pics of my SES TATTOO...it is healing nicely but slowly. I would like to send the pics to just you guys. I will be at two of your shows in FL in April so you will see it live and in person then...hopefully if you guys do the merch table thing. Have a wonderful week guys.

much love, Jenni C

Yay for Silloettes... That was the song that I tabbed and played in my band for my bitch ass girlfriend.... Lien' bitch!!!! Thats right FUCK YOU KAYLAY DOXON. Now I can send her the link when it is posted on your site and tell her to eat shit and die. I can't wait till Eraser becoms a hit. Then I will have some crazy fun.

Think Arizona. You guys kicked ass a Edge Fest here and we all want you back. Come back. Late.

hey guys! i finally got to check your site again... being grounded sucks.... anyway good to be back online! my freind sarah and i are so going to the snowcore tour when you come to Worcester MA! we cant wait! we are also going to enter the contest. "Sillouettes" is one of my favorite songs, next to "with this knife", "the other side" and "eraser" but theyre all good so i dont think i could just pick one favorite! you guys rock! much love
~Caitlin

hey guys.. just wanted to thank you again ( i have a lot of problems just for the record.. before i start) my grandpa is dying, and whenever i listen to your music, im not quite so sad..
i wish i could go to your show in cincy, but its "on a school night" (so was the last one.. went to that one..) so my parents dont want me to go.. so you gotta come back really soon so i can see you guys.
keep kicking ass. cant wait for the new CD whenever that may come out.. im gonna get it on the first day. *nods*

rock on
Mary Parker

--Marlana--

Kali..i agree with you...what the hell was that Cary..damn you dont come on the website to diss the band and then claim you still love them...that was a slap in the face.. either your trying to get noticed or you're a down right bitch.. sry for the language...that was not right and i dont think you should post negative thoughts about the band on THEIR website..either you stop posting or when your ready to say something positive.. THEN come back

hello guys

that would be the coolest thing ever to win the trip two hang out with you guys. i would love a chance to be in your video. so when are you going to be in nebraska next? last time when i went to your concert i ended up paying for 3 tickets. my friends backed out and didn't pay me for them. but that is ok, you guys were totally worth the money i did spend. you guys are by far the best and coolest band i have ever seen live. or even heard on cd or anything like that. i wish i could go on tour with you guys. if you have a summer tour i would more than gladly go on the road with you. once i am out of high school. that would be the best graduation present i could ever get. i would do it for food and shelter. i can't think of any better way to spend my summer. well i hope you guys will make it to nebraska some time soon. and if you are ever driving though let me know. i would love to hang out for a while. well i will let you go.

later

brett

derek,
it's cait. i just wanted to say thanx for the advice. it really does help. i didn't think you read all these posts, so when i wrote it, i didn't expect an answer. but i got one, and it means alot to me, it really does. it's totally kool 'bout what happened in springfeild. i understand. i'll just cum c u guys on the snowcore tour. but don't get discouraged about the things i do, its not your fault. but your music helps me and i can relate to it. so can all the other people who are growing up or have grown up living lives like i do. i really respect that, and you guys too. well, i gotta go. i'll write to ya again l8a.

Hey guys! I just wanted to say that you're awesome and you rocked the house on Feb 4th in Raleigh!!!! I see that you're coming back around and will be in Winston Salem on the 28th!!! I hope that I can make it! I love you guys!!! And by the way I'm a Sean fan!!!!!!!!! Yeaah baby!

Oh, by the way . . . Sean, you are so sexy when you sing!!!!

You are VERY welcome for the ideas, Derek! As far as the book goes, eh, i thought it was done but i've changed my mind. The few revisions I thought it needed have turned into a few more . . . BUT, as soon as it's complete I'll be sure to send you a sticker!!! I kid, I kid. My newest excitement in my life? I got offered an upaid position helping to promote a local up and coming band. So that with my job with my book with school is keeping me SUPER busy. Give Ryan some luv! Ha ha - looks like he feels fractionally important! ;-) And if you want to watch something that will boggle your mind find an anthropological film called the "Jolo Serpent Handlers" WOW!

************************************************************************************ Man, I just got a crazy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Meeting you guys again would be awesome! The guy that took my picture with Sean in Corpus isn't calling me and my sister back, I may not get it and I'm universally pissed off!!!! Maybe I'll try doing the contest thing, I don't have a chance though... SES has too many fans! I'll give it a try and just hope for the best. ******************************************************************************************************* Much Love,
Stephanie

Hey Stefani,

I know how you feel. I work full time, go to school and my boyfriend has a band that I'm helping him promote. You don't realize how much work it actually is!!!!!!!!!!! So I'm super busy too! But I love it! I love the music scene and can't stay away from it. So I might as well do something "productive" while I hang out. Good luck with all of your projects!

Jenn

You guys are awesome, i saw you with Trapt last year and it was a great show. The only problem I have now is that it doesnt say youre coming to Toledo on 2/22 with Puddle of mudd. Did things change because when I bought tickets you guys were coming now Im not sure. I hope you guys can make it :) if not I will see you on the snocore tour.

Hey derek, i'm a big fan of yours. I myself write lyrics and am in a chick band. Listening to your music has helped me get through a lot of problems. I used to cut myself but music has been my resort from that. Your song with this knife really hit me at home because that's how I feel about my boyfriend. I would do anyhting for him, but he's being a total ass. Keep making your kick ass music cuz I love it. And hell yeah come to chicago. im waiting.
