dear megan -

i’m sorry. i knew this would happen.

while the rest of gn,s was at the studio in ny/nj, i remained in pittsburgh, taking pictures and posting drum gear for sale on ebay and my picasa site. of course, i waited all weekend to do so, and knew that the fervor for blogging about the recording weekend would happen when you returned on sunday evening.

so, as i wait with baited breath to hear about the studio weekend myself, i have to interrupt your blog post earlier this evening with my ill-timed post about drum gear. mmm…gear.

i have one of my mlasko custom snares for sale, as well as my korg electribe drum machine/sampler. there are also some cool cymbals and stands and other things kicking around. i even have some secret stuff that’s not even posted that you can inquire about.

any questions? reply to this post and i’ll get you hooked up.

friends -

i just finished making what i think will be the last posts on the website and myspace of our old band. it’s a sad and exciting thing to see it laid to rest, but in the end, it will be for the best.

in our society, fall is the real new year, not january 1st. that’s the time of year when school begins and work sometimes shifts. we have labor day to mark the end of summer vacations, and the days start to end a little sooner, the air feels a little cooler. we live life waiting in anticipation of the newness of fall, the change of the seasons, the upcoming changes in our schedules. at the same time, there’s nostalgia and longing for no change - for things to remain the way they were.

but, with good night, states we have our vision firmly fixed ahead of us and welcoming the future with open arms. we hope you’ll join us for the journey here online, as well as by making your presence known at our various gatherings, and by following the story of our upcoming record.

that being said, please join us THURS, AUG 30 for the first good night, states show. details at www.myspace.com/goodnightstates.

peace,
dan
