HOW ARE ALL YALL DOING. WE'RE HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS. HOW BOUT THOSE PITUTES AIE!!!!! ITS RAINING HERE. I THINK IT WILL LET UP. THE BUFFALO SHOW WAS GREAT. ON TO LAFAYETTE,...BEFORE THE SHOW I WENT TO A COSTUM SHOP. TRIED ON VARIOUS WIGS AND COSTUMS. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. HALLOWEEN IS A GREAT DAY. I MEAN YOU CAN BE ANY ONE OR THING YOU WANT. THIS YEAR IVE DECIDED TO RENT A COSTUM SO IT WILL FOR SURE BE KICKASS. THE SHOW WAS RAD BUT SECURITY WAS TO STRICT AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY MOSHING. YA RIGHT A ROCK SHOW WITH NO MOSHING, THE DAY I DAY!!!!!!!!!!! I GUESS TO SOME PEOPLE IT DOESN'T LOOK FUN. HUH, WHO WOULD GUESS!!!! THE NEXT NIGHT WE PLAYED LITTLEROCK ARKANSAS. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. WE ROCKED OUT TO A CROWD OF OVER 2000 PEOPLE!!!!! IT WAS JUST US A SRATA. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT MANY PEOPLE CAME OUT. IT WAS CRAZY!!!! OUR BIGGEST HEADLINING SHOW YET. SO HERE WE ARE IN AUSTIN. I THINK ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT SHOW. HAS ANY ONE PURCHASED THE SPIDERMAN 2 SOUNDTRACK YET? WE HAVE A TRACK ON IT CALLED "WHO I AM". I HAVE MY BROTHERS BAND "FRACTIONAL" ON A FEW GIGS WITH US. TEMPE, HOLLYWOOD, SAN BERINDINO WHICH I BELIEVE IS CHANGING THE CLUB WE ARE PERFORMING AT, AND ORANGEVALE. I HOPE TO GET THEM ON A FEW MORE. IM REALLY EXCEITED TO BE FINALLY SHARING A STAGE AGAIN WITH FRACTIONAL. THEY ARE A GREAT BAND. I THINK OUR TOUR IS COMING TO AN END. AT THE END OF JULY WE HEAD HOME TO START WORK ON A NEW RECORD. DON'T WORRY, WE WILL BE BACK ON THE ROAD BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. TOUR IS WHAT WE REALLY LOVE, SO I DONT THINK WE'LL BE AWAY FROM IT FOR TOO LONG. DID YOU MISS MY JOKES?? HERES ONE,...

Posted by: whitney on June 26, 2004 01:48 AMI want the spinderman 2 soundtrack. Derek have fun on halloween...in 4 months haha
Posted by: whitney on June 26, 2004 01:55 AMoh yea Derek what did Sean mean by "Saturday" was ur 'first' song...what does that mean?
Posted by: whitney on June 26, 2004 01:56 AMWow, you guys definately have a lot of uh.. dedicated fans. I have been checking out past entries and I don't think I would be able to read all those replies. Yeah, definately not 289.
I saw you guys at the Maine State Theatre on the 17th and it was the first concert I've paid for that was outside of Lewiston. I loved your performance. You guys sounded even better live, which is crazy because I don't like many bands live.
I had a great place on the floor and was standing at the metal bar almost directly in front of Sean. I paid for it though, these guys kept falling on me and the mosh pit was right behind me, but it was totally worth it.
I don't like when people are like yeah, this band is good, they sound just like Korn or whatever, but I was really reminded of Nirvana watching your performance. I love them and I haven't found another band that I can connect with the way I can with their music and Kurt's lyrics.
Sean's humor just totally felt a lot like Kurt's and you guys had a lot of presence.. But I love that you make the sound your own.
It was really beautiful.
Thank you for coming all the way to Maine to perform for us, I really appreciated it. :) I hope I can go the next time you're near here.

#1 fan from Maine!!
OH YEAH AND I CANT WAIT FOR THE SECOND ALBUM AND THE DVD I'M BURNING FOR BOTH OF THEM I LOVE YOU SMILE EMPTY SOUL!!!!!!!!
WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD WITH A BIBLE???????????????CAUSE HE WANTED TO GET TO CHURCHES....HA HA if you guys dont know what that is its a chicken place oh bye the way i hate church and the whole religion thing fucking fake ass shit!!!!!!!i love you smile empty soul
wow, you might actually get to my post! Hell yeah I bought the Spidy 2 soundtrack! 8 Bucks at wallmart baby! I know I'm pretty cheap, but I have the album, "WHO I AM" KICKS ASS!!!!!! and actually if you really want to make my BIRTHDAY (which was on the 24th) you can have sean get off his beautiful punk ass and comment once and a while, I mean, nothing would make me happier!! Oh and I went to the Red River Valley Fair in Fargo for my birthday and went on all the rides, and I have never been so sore!!! It was fun though. I went in this spinning thing that just sucks you into the wall and I got out all tripped out and stuff, it was bitchin! But the downside to North Dakota fairs is that the Carnies are freaky. They look like they are ready to abduct! well that's all for now......... (P.S. I tried to get a select crowd to go to your concert IF you come to FARGO... or Grand Forks... you know... PREFERABLY FARGO (Grand Forks is quite a drive) but I don't know, I'll have to put fliers up when the time comes, and YES I WILL DO THAT FOR YOU. ANYTHING FOR SMILE EMPTY SOUL!!!! I promise you a kick ass show. I'll probably meet you there too. That would only be too cool.... oh and I'm sorry for such a large post!!!!)
oh and all that come out to the Red Valley Fairs are fucking country artists and old rock bands from like the 70s and 80s.... PLEASE CHANGE THAT... meaning you should come and play the Red Valley in West Fargo next year... like I said, I guarentee you a great show.
50 cent (that rapper) really liked it in Fargo. He got a little cold though.. So if you play a concert here, make sure you do it in the summer... IT GETS HOTTTTTT! Just like Sean... I'm out
(finally)
The joke of the day is back!!! Yay!!! I didn't know you guys had a song on the spiderman 2 soundtrack, I guess i'm gonna have to check it out now!!!! Well sounds like you guys are having fun!! Its never too early to start planning for Halloween!! LOL!!! Well, can't wait till you guys finish your next album and go on tour again...thats bout it , Keep Rockin and thanx for making great music!!!!Buh-Bye
Posted by: Courtney on June 26, 2004 03:13 AMI want you guys to rock FRONTIER CITY like it's our last show!!! Put some ROCK back into OKLAHOMA CITY!!!!

He was so cool and nice! (not to mention cute-hehe) Hopefully i'll get to see you again, you should of played on Rolling Rock Town Fair cuz that has such a great line up of bands and you guys would of made it even better!

i am sooo siked about the new album! its gonna be off the heezze fo sheeze! :) lol, im lame! i cant wait till tickets for the Orangevale show go for sale, i got a 60% chance of going as of right now, and when my mom finds out the tickets arnt no 50 bucks like for the Pop Sux! tour and realizes i can pay for mine and a friends tickets myslef, im sure that will raise the chance!!! Smile, Strata, and Fractional, all in the same night.. just screams tight show, to much fun!!! thats fuckin lame about the no moshing crap, that better not happen at the Orangevale show, or ill be pissed..you cant fully enjoy a concert with out walking out with some BATTLE WOUNDS!.. you know, the stuff you get to brag about to everyone who couldnt go =)
Guess what!! My SMILE EMPTY SOUL CD IS BROKEN!!!!! i went to play it the other morning, and the player was making all sorts of noise, i open it to clean the cd, and theres a crack in the entire cd, and not one, but two cracks!! Well, i guess that means more $$ for you, cuz i get to buy it... again, but its all good, its for the love of the music baby so i dont mind!
Well, congrats on the Tour being so well..and i hope the turnout stays up! I Lub Ya all! and ..do you think i could get a shout out? maybe? =)
SES ROCKS!!!

Posted by: emily on June 26, 2004 03:58 AMWell i am glad to hear that the tour is going good. What happend with that show in Michigan??? Did you ever find out? I am so excited that you three are gonna go back and record a new album. I cannot wait to hear it. I need something new to listen to when i fall asleep i have been listening to you since i got the album and that is it. I cannot fall asleep without it anymore. I was wondering if you guys did a song called "sleepwalking" I have it on a cd. I downloaded the song and it sounds like you but I have never heard you sing it. Please let me know!!! I hope that you guys come back to Cleveland really soon. and bring FRACTIONAL with you I really love them (what i have heard of them) and live in Ohio so I cannot see them. That would be an awsome show, You and FRACTIONAL. Well keep on rocking and making kick ass music. You guys inspire me so much. I would also like to know if you would be interested in reading some of the poetry that you guys have inspired me to write. Let me know!!! Love you guys.!!!!

Posted by: Marisa on June 26, 2004 04:12 AMI will, Shannon, I will! :D And I'm sorry you can't be there... :(
DEREK! I'm bringing my BEST friend Dee and my best GUY friend Marshall with me to the concert this Sunday at The Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri. We're going to try extra hard to get my mom to let us into the mosh pit... I'm extremely small and will most likely die in there, but o'well! I don't care; it'd be uber. Also, if Sean does an acoustic song, I'm definitly pushing my way up to the front and as close to the stage as I possibly can. Hehehe, I'll probably scream his name and try to get his attention, too. And he could like, throw his guitar pick my way to be wonderfully nice but YOU KNOW whatever floats his boat, I guess... That, or you could throw one of your drumsticks my way. Just look for the small girl with braces on and black streaks in her hair. What do you say, pal? Gonna do it? 'Eh? EH??
Oh, okay, so you probably won't. :P It was worth a shot!
Hey, so Derek, are you three going to be staying after the concert to sign autographs and stuff? 'Cause I REALLY want to give you my drawings ( like you should already know )! I so hope you are...
Well, I can't wait 'til Sunday. SEE YA!
Hey everybody...
I picked up the Spiderman 2 soundtrack yesterday and Who I Am is killer.
If you don't have it, go get it. Right now, quick like bunnies people.
Ciao
This FUCKING SUCKS!!! I was on my way to the Austin show when i a freakin truck hit me and totalled my car right outside of Fort Worth Texas!!! You can guess right that i didn't get to go to the show!! and i'm from Oklahoma..i was very pissed off....but its okay...cuz there is still frontier city and dallas...damn..this fucking sucks.

Posted by: Tanya on June 26, 2004 06:10 AMWish I could come see yall in concert tonight but cannot, hopefully another time and place.
"Hey how many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light buld?"
"How Many?"
"52"
"why is that?"
"BECAUSE THATS THE WAY IT FUCKING IS OKAY< GET OFF MY BACK ASS HOLE! WHY IF IT WAS UP TO ME...."
DEREK!!!!!! what's up. this is hannah again. dude i got the spiderman 2 soundtrack, Who I am KICKS ASS!!! seriously, and i can totally relate to it. i think i figured out the lyrics, no one has the 'official lyrics' so i hope i got them.
i can't wait for cherry poptart to get back here. me and our drummer have been getting together to work. when she gets back we are jumping right on to getting the band all started up. we are working really hard, and hopefully we'll be noticed so we can tour with you guys. that would rock.
You still have to come by spokane, wa sometime. and hopefully i'll be able to make it down to Cali to see ya perform one more time before you go into the studio again.
the same favors as last time; Derek, could you acknowledge the fact Tawnya(Cherry Poptart) thinks you're MAD SEXY, and sean, what kind of guitar do you play?
i would like to thank all of you as well. your music and the lyrics helped me come out of a tight spot again. i had a terriable episode of depression for no reason, and let's just say i did some real stupid stuff. at one point i almost ended everything. i locked myself in my room at that point and blasted whatever was in my sterio to drain out my screams. but your cd was in the sterio. i was screaming and not paying attention and almost reached for what would have ended my life, but then the chorus of Bottom of a Bottle came on. i stopped and sat down and cried. i realized what i was doing. i remmbered my dream too; to meet you and ryan and sean, to talk with you guys, to play and tour with you. then i though about the effects of what would happen if i died. you guys literally saved my life. thank you so much.
alright, that pretty much wraps up all that i wanted to say for now. later to the rockin' lemon heads!
Hannah

You know..i was thinking the other day that it'd be cool that Fractional and Smile did a couple shows together...
Halloween kicks ass..and Who I Am is wonderful, I’m not much of a soundtrack buyer..but I made sure to get the Punisher and Spiderman 2.
It's cool that you guys are still having fun on tour and stuff. HA! Your joke..where do you come up with these?!?
OOO..i got the courage to ask a 'friend' about playin drums in his band and he took a couple listens and said sure!! Whoo! Be happy!!! ( or not...)
Anyway, cant wait to see you guys in CA.
kick ass and rock on!!!!!!!
Hello to you Smile Empty Soul and how are you this fine night....well I guess morning now.
I hate to do this because I know how many people would do the follow, if you get bored with this feel free to think of some else that I should have writen
And for those of you who are still reading, I would like an opinion out of you. Not really because yall are on the journal or are Smile empty soul, even thoughI think you are kick ass, but because yall are complete strangers to me and I need a strange opinion.endeed...well..umm yea yako here we go
oh and the penguins in my head would like to thank you and to warn you that I am indeed insane.
As you walk along the path
My eyes glare with rage
You smile to the people
You act so smug
But I know the truth
I know your goal
You inch up to my friends
And I reach for my sword
You will not hurt them
Not till my dyeing breathe
You will not hurt them
I will send you to your death
Your sitting there
I’m standing here
Not taking my eyes off of you
You cannot run,
You cannot hide
I have strong weapons on my side
You though you won
You though you beat me
But then you hurt my friends
And I came back
Ready and able
Now I’ll slay the beast
And walk off into the sunset
You will not hurt them
Not till my dyeing breathe
You will not hurt them
I will send you to your death
this message will now blow up in your face and leave in its place the smell of home made cookies and blood and burning flesh have a nice day
Peace Love and Sarcasm
Anyone who wants to tell me a comment mixedupgirl2000@hotmail.com

thats not my web site but, it has quite a bit of cool music on it. its an indie lable. anyway,
thats not nice.....you can talk about halloween anytime you would like derek. as for the date being incorrect; well, I cant even keep track of the days im sure im not the only one. Have fun and that sucks that they would not allow moshing at the show. They didn't here at the Club Tundra either. they are real concerned about law suits. for about 30 years that venue was called The lost horrizon, christ my mom played there, and then about 2 years ago they changed the name to thirty two degrees. To make a long story short someone was attacked there so they had to change the name to something that matched the 32 thing so they would not have to redecorate anything. The action sport skate place you guys played the last time here is Syracuse is pretty cool minus the garbage smell in a few of the rooms. that place has changed names like 5-10 times as well. have fun once again. Nichole Syracuse, NY
Hey Derek, ur killing me! Ur neglecting my presence, thats ok, I still love you even though u dont love me...Im just teasin ya... HEY! I played trumpet in 3rd grade, I was TERRIBLE, hehe... My best friend is from Colombia, Mo so maybe we'll have to go visit when u guys are there... Im so excited, Im gonna see you guys in 2 days!!! well I gotta get back to work, love ya

DEREK**********************
i loved the joke....i am a band geek so it really made me laugh......I saw you guys at the orbit room on the 6th let me say you all really rocked out (even though the show was small) so thanks it was great......BUT HERE'S A QUESTION AND PLEASE ANSWER IT ********* DID YOU SEE OUR SIDEWALK CHALK DRAWINGS OUTSIDE OF THE ORBIT ROOM??? because we hoped you did we wrote stuff like Smile empty soul rocks my world and all kinds of other stuff like that....(we got there really early like about noon because we didn't know how many tickets were left....and i really hoped you guys saw it because it was so fricken cool and you would have been stoked to see it....hey you know the three of us were sitting outside of the orbit room waiting and we saw you (derek)walking back from somewhere but i got shy and didn't say anything:( now i feel stupid because your a normal person and i should have just said what's up but anyways keep on rocking....AND YES ALL YOUR FANS PROBOBLY BUY THE SOUNDTRACKS WITH YOU GUYS ON IT...AT LEAST I KNOW I DO I EVEN HAVE THE PUNISHER SOUNDTRACK...GOT IT SIGHNED AT THE ORBIT ROOM TOO.....

Hey I can't wait to see you all in Arizona!! Hopefully i will get to go because i went to your last concert and it was the best concert in the entire world!!! You Guys rock and never stop making music!
Posted by: Lindsey (Arizona) on June 26, 2004 05:16 PM~*~*~*~I love you guys~*~*~*~*~.
Will you please please please please do something for me. At your concert in Texas on July 9th please sing With this knife. That is my favorite song And Sean promised me that he would sing it when yall came back to Austin. My friend and i wont be able to make the Austin Show cause of work. We are really big fans, we spent like 800 bucks to fly to see you in Vegas. Not complaining cause it was worth it and i would do it again. I dont know what it is that draws me to your band, but i have never loved a band so much as i do yours. I have seen you guys like 5 times this year i think. Every show gets better. I am sure that the one on July 9th will rock cause the place is small. I know for one thing that my friend and i are going to get freaking close. I just hope that we can bring cameras. Do yall mind if we take pics? I dont want to if you dont want them taken. Well even if you dont sing my song that is ok. But it would be really awesome cause the guy that makes me feel what that song is about will be there. Neways you guys KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!! I love you Sean. I love the rest of the band too!!!! Oh and yes i bought the Spider man 2 CD the day it came out cause yall where on it just like the Punisher CD.
OMG!!! thats kinda wierd cause i was gonna get on here and tell you what im gonna be for halloween then you wrote about it ha lol omg me kristin and brittany are gonna be you guys! hahaha im gonna be you and kristin is gonna be sean and britany is gonna be ryan! and me and brittany are gonna draw on all of seans tats on kristin wow were goin all out! ha dont get TO freaked out were wierd like that! lol wow i just got back from michigans adventure and wow am i tired me and kristin went on the rip cord and they pull you up 15 stories and you basically free fall that whole way down and swing out about that hugh again until you tsop swinging omg it was so fun but i had to pull the rip cord so we would drop and i was really scared but i was so fun!! wow austin sounds fun! cause its hot there and its only kinda hot here! lol yeah i havnt got the sm2 soundtrack yet but i will cause ur on it but im going to see the movie the day it come out so hopefully i will hear you! yay ok well have fun with all ur shows and good thing you go on tour "sooner then we think" cause im really sad that we didnt have dinner and i wanna!! really really REALLLY!! bad!!!! eek! ok well toodles! ~stacey~

Hey... I wanted to say thanks to all of you for the awesome show in Lafayette. That turned out to be the best birthday I have ever had!! Security was definitely strict so i was surpirised I even got to meet ya'll. That was all thanks to your guy that does all the sounds stuff...I think he said his name is Jeff (he was soo sweet as all of you are). Thanks for signing the drum stick and just taking the time out to make my birthday probably the most exciting and crazy time ever!! After we left Nite Town i went straight to buy the Spider Man 2 soundtrack. We had to go to Wal-Mart cause it was the only place open. It was hilarious cause we were all drunk and just so excited about the whole night. It was so kick ass. Ya'll rock and I'll see you in New Orleans when ya'll come to House of Blues!! Ya'll definitely need to come out with us after...we would have a great time!!
Much Love
lauryn!!
Heyy DereK! We were at the little rock show and we hung out with you and Ryan after the show.. what about the shoutout to Smackover and El Dorado? did you forget? hahaha Well yall did a very awesome show! I can't wait for yall to come back around here again! Love yallll!
Posted by: Alex E on June 26, 2004 08:05 PMHeh heh, everyone's talking about Halloween now...
Well guess what. I'm gonna be The Punisher for Halloween! How cool is that? I know, I know, I'm completely awesome. You don't have to remind me twice! ...Though it'd be nice. ;) I've got a trench coat ( though it's shiny 'cause it was actually Trinity's coat from The Matrix ) and I've got an awesome Punisher shirt that's all dirty looking like his was. I've also got some black boots and some nice baggy black pants. It's UBER! Now all I need is a toy gun or something'. Haha! This Halloween is going to be SO fun.
So what do you think you're going to be this year, Derek?

Posted by: ~*+_Baby Bane_+*~ on June 26, 2004 10:11 PMHi! I remember reading that you got some of your inspiration from the Beatles. Just went in to check my vinyl record collection and I have 13 of the Beatles original albums. Something really strange happened though when I was going through them. Although I have listened to those records many times, I never saw the four 8X10 black and white photos which were enclosed in one of the albums until I was cleaning and sorting them out the other day. Those pictures have to be about 40 years old! Now I am revealing my age, lol.
I also have James Taylor, The Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Iron Butterfly, Cream, and several other 60's groups recordings on vinyl. I even have a 10 inch collector's album by the Police that was recorded long before Sting went solo.
Well, it sounds like you guys are really busy with your touring so I'll cut this short. Take care and keep having fun; you only live once! Here's my silly joke to add to your repetoire:
Did you hear about the religious skunk who went to church? He sat in his own pew! Love ya, Debby R.
GREAT! THANKS FOR ANSWERING DEREK. IM GOING TO GET MY TICKET TODAY THEN! C-YA THURSDAY!!!

Hey Guys,Love your music got into it when my twin sister went to your concert near my home town and she let me hear your cd and I had to buy it.

I wish you the best and keep making music so everyone gets a chance to hear your great music.

Derek~ Hey cutie!* What's up? I'm new to all of this. I kept hearing your song 'Silhouettes' on the radio and I absolutely loved it, but the station would never say who the band was (or at least when I was listening) so I finally asked around and figured it out. I then got the c.d. and I loved every song! I also had no idea y'all sang 'Bottom of the Bottle'.. I've always been a big fan of that one. Well, I just wanted to say I think you guys are incredible and I know you'll go far!* So, I was checking out the site and I noticed y'all have a show scedualed for Dallas, TX ::two hours from me:: I've never been to one of y'alls shows (which have to be amazing) so I'm thinking about checking it out with some of my friends; hopefully! ;) If you have any information about it I should know I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a ton! Love always, Cass
Posted by: Cassie on June 27, 2004 02:29 AM***SEAN, DEREK AND RYAN***
HEY GUYS! So Derek...you just admitted you didn't read all the posts last time b/c I was the second one to commment on the Spiderman soundtrack. LOVE the song!!! I was waiting at Best Buy when the doors opened on Tues. to get it. LOVE IT, GREAT JOB GUYS!!!
So, I went to see Steriogram at the MTV taping on June 23 and it was awesome!!! I got to meet all of them, they are the nicest guys, and I told them I was a HUGE fan of yours and they had nothing but great things to say about you guys. Tyson said you guys were like bros to them. Thought you may like to hear that.
The doctor won't let me go back to work the week, still off on recovery from surgery, so guess who is coming to ATL to see you guys??!! ME!!!! I hope the show isn't sold out yet! I would hate to drive 7 hours and it be sold out. Well, see you Thurs!!!!
MUCH LOVE, JENNI C

I do adore "Who I am" and I hear your fans talking about being your #1 fans, but that cant be true cuz we are your #1 fans in Milpitas, dontha know?!?
my dogs wanted me to tell you this joke:

Aw... I wish I coulda come to Lafayette to see yall. That's my old hometown and it's only an hour away from where I live. Damn bars and age restrictions. Yall shoulda played at the Cajundome, then I woulda went. :( Its ok though. I'm going to yall's Houston show at the Meridian. My sister insists on bying tickets at the door, I told her it's prolly gonna be sold out, but shes like "wewe... tickets at door.. i suck". Yeah... I REALLY wanna meet yall in Houston, cuz that would be kickass. Is there any way I could? My birthday was a few weeks ago it could be like a birhday present ;D Ah! I just noticed I'm like the 98th person to post. That sucks. I should prolly cut this one short cuz I'm sure yo don't read all the way down here. Okay then... Yall are friggin awesome, and keep it up!
Anna
Oh yeah.... Trumpets? What?! I don't get that one. I like the peanut butter one better.... Trumpets.... WTF?! It makes no sense... That's gonna keep me thinkin for a while. Okay I'm really going now. LOVE YALL! BYE!
Posted by: Anna on June 27, 2004 03:02 AMHey ya'll! okay so im a lil frustrated cause I saw ya'll last night ( june 25th in AUstin TX) and I posted as soon as I found your site, and it turns out its not posted for some reason? But anyways, I didnt have your cd as of today but for sure I will go tomorrow and pick it up! Ya'll rocked my sox, I had heard your songs before but never knew who ya'll were. Oh yeah by the way, Derek you are so sexxy:) I met you outside of Stubbs last night, we need to chill the next time your in town. I'm trying to get with streetwise, can a girl get hooked up with backstage passes? that would be soo great..or how bout a shoutout!? That woudl make my day...but anyways I'm probably just pushing my luck;-) You guys have amazing talent. Thanks for the fun time tonight and I'll "see ya later" teehee

I just wanted to write and tell you how awesome you guys are live. I have seen you live twice, first at X-Fest in indy and then again at May Day in indy. You're song bottom of the bottle will forever remind me of my friend Kelly, because he truly does do it for the drugs. I also think it's awesome that you guys love NIRVANA, I love them too, so it just gives me one more reason to love you guys.

Your once Newest Fan,then SES~TARD,Now just plain ol'
***Karissa***
Posted by: /////*Karissa* aka *SES~Tard*///// on June 28, 2004 01:33 AMwell i just thought i would say thank you once again for making such great music.I know i speak for every fan when i say It really helps people get thru whatever theyre goin thru and people can relate to the songs on your cd. the cd helped me alot today. see i had just got on the computer and was talking to Whitney when my mom, dad, and brother start lookin thru pictures that we had took with the Bollywood actors. and i hear my dad saying, look Micheles the fattest one in the picture and all this other stuff. that really hurt me coz i know i am fat but damn hearing them say that and then laugh about it really hurts. and its not fair because they are always saying oh your fat you need to lose weight and then when i try to go on a diet they dont buy me the stuff that will help me with it. and I mean the actresses we took pix with were all former beauty queens, one was miss universe and the others were miss india and stuff, so of course theyre like really skinny and pretty. but thats really stupid to compare me to them u know? so i was crying a little and i was tellin Whitney bout it and then my mom comes and says youve been on the computer the whole day, get off and go do some work. i had only been on for 20 minutes. so i just went to my room and i was about to cut myself again BUT i didnt, i listened to the ses cd and that helped me soo much. thank you. right now my mom, dad, and brother are all outside doing yardwork coz they want to make the house look nice coz my dad wants to sell the house and hes too cheap to hire someone to do it. he is gonna put the house for sale and he already put my 745i silver bmw on sale too. i didnt even get to drive that thing :( and now its gonna be sold because he wants to get all the money from that and the house and move into a bigger house and open up another business. i dont want to move. and my uncle left with his wife and my 3 little cousins today to go look for houses over in arizona, they want to move over there. i dont want them to move, i love my little cousins so much they are like my brothers and sisters, i am so close to them. today is not a very good day for me as you can tell by reading this. blah blah blah, i know, i am taking up space with my useless little rant, but sorry, i had to get it out.

Hey guys! Well, I love ya guys bunches and I'm not going to tell you how hot you are because it looks to me like you get enough of it. I don't know if you'll get to my post, but I hope you do. I wrote a poem with you guys in it, basically saying how you've helped me out with some of my problems, thanks bunches! the poem is called "A Suicide Letter." Here ya go:
A thousand suicide letters,
A million poems I wrote to make me feel better,
Eighteen cuts on my arm,
A few more wouldn’t do me any harm
Wrote, “I hate you and I hope you live in misery for the rest of your life,”
And placed it on my bed as I picked up a knife
All this time I thought I was living so much strife
When in reality, it was you who handed me the knife
Ripping through my flesh,
Seeing all the blood and feeling all the pain,
Was always the best
You have set me aside from the rest
And thought about me less,
I know that I am worthless,
You tell me all the time,
So take what’s yours and I’ll take what’s mine.
I may not be the best,
But one day I will make something of myself
So put your insults and lies to rest
And I know at one point I screwed up,
And I wanted to die
So of course,
I picked up a knife and thought of suicide,
I cut myself so deep, and left all my feelings alone to hide
So many times I have lied,
“A cat attacked me when I skidded off my board, and when I walked inside, I tripped over my radio cord.”
I thought of Josh and Kate until I cried
“Let me be with them, please let me die.”
But then Smile Empty Soul put me to thought
And it wasn’t “maybe it’ll be over in just one shot.”
They basically said there’s millions more like me,
So I’m not alone you see?
And do I really want to be a coward in fear?
The guy I love, and my best friends, do I really want to leave them here?
I know six feet under really isn’t worth it,
I’d just be another girl who died,
Just another girl who committed suicide,
I’d be another statistic,
So I put the knife aside, and won’t even risk it.
And if you could tell me what you think about it, it would make my day. Derek, your pretty much the only one who writes so please tell the other guys I said hi and how i appreciate your music with all of my heart. Your the best!
Love Always, Kelly Louise

Posted by: kayla (aka blue hair) on June 28, 2004 02:55 AMI just have to comment again because you guys are in Missouri tonight and I'm chilling here at home. It's all good though, because I'm way tired and sore from helping my dad move this HUGE stump in our backyard. He said it probably weighed every bit of 600 pounds. Yeah, I'm definitely feeling muscles I didn't know I had.
Anyway, hope you guys had fun in Columbia. The good 'ol Show Me State knows how to rock... Hopefully the SES fans showed you that. :)
And read my friend Kelly's poem that she posted a few people up. It's the insanely long one. lol.

Melissa, that sucks but it is funny.
Stefani, i think both my mom and dad need it.
Charia, your not the only one who mixed them up. a few nights ago, i was listenin to the radio and they played Stratas song, the panic, which is a kick ass song btw, and after the song was done the dj said that they were gonna open up for Incubus. so i was excited and posted it on Stratas messageboard, and guess what? the dj mixed Strata with Sparta because it is Sparta who is opening for Incubus.
#1 fan in ill the one, the only, i dont know why your post is not here but i do think somebody deletes some of the posts made on here becoz this one chick posted a link on here and now when you go back , its not there.

Posted by: BrittanY on June 28, 2004 08:14 PMTHE CONCERT LAST NIGHT IN COLUMBIA, MISSOURI WAS THE BEST EVER!
Dude, I had the TIME OF MY LIFE. Mostly thanks to Derek for sticking around and looking at my drawings. And of course, thanks to Ryan who was the one who made Sean look at his, and then also asking ME for a hug ( I always thought it'd be the other way around )! Though both Ryan and Sean just seemed to dissapear into thin air later on... :P It was all SO cool. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The smile on Sean's face when he looked at my drawing made my entire month... no wait, it made my fuckin' LIFE, dude! I just could not believe that he liked it that much. I am UBER happy. I actually almost felt like crying when he hugged me!
So Derek, what did Sean do with his? And what'd you do with all the other drawings? Are they all over your bunk so you can see 'em when you wake up?? HAHA you're so awesome... Dude, did you guys show 'em to Steriogram? Because I told Tim that he got a new fan that night, and guess who it is... ME! They're freakin' cool and Tim is REALLY nice. You can tell them that they can be expecting some of those drawings from me sometime! They're really great performers and Tyson has the coolest accent out of all of them. :P
Hey, I almost forgot. I wanted to tell you something at the concert last night, Derek, but I kind of chickened out. You know when I told you that you could have ALL of my drawings? And then you were like, "Oh, but it's all your hard work!" Well, I wanted to say, "Yeah, but think about all the hard work you guys have done to get your band out there. You went through all that hard work to get your music out to me and to hundreds of others, so I've just gone through all this hard work drawing these to show you my thanks for yours!" Yessa yessa! But I can't believe I chickened out...
Man-oh-man-oh-buddy-oh-man! I'm actually really sad that you three aren't touring anymore! That was only the second concert I've ever been to ( both were yours, of course ). I can't wait almost a whole year for you three to come back to Missouri so I can see you again! That concert last night was the BEST ever!! I screamed the lyrics to every song; it was UBER. I also bought a SES hoodie ( YAY I love hoodies ), another SES t-shirt, and a SES wristband! And of course, I grabbed a crap load of free Steriogram and Smile Empty Soul stickers.
OH DUDE, DEREK! Since you will be home, you guys should get a P.O. Box where all your fans can send you things like letters and gifts! That'd be AWESOME. Really, you should think about it. Think, like, VERY HARD.
Okay, okay, well I have to go get these pictures from last night developed! I'll talk to you again REAL SOON ( I hope ). SEE YA!
--
Oh yes, I almost forgot. The "S." stands for Sanford if you didn't see that written on the folder! I hate my last name... it's on almost every pencil! Haha, so now everytime you see a pencil with "Sanford" written on the side ( or even a pen ) you're going to have to think of me! But you know, it all works out since I was the ( first ) one who drew you stuff.
Pencils + drawing + Sanford = awesome cool uber ME!
Hehehe, remember that always.
Hey guys, whats goin on? I hope ya'll are doing ok. Keep kickin ass on tour. I'll see ya on the 3rd. Bye guys.
