i first heard @doomtree 10 years ago, when this man handed me a comp cd in a paper sleeve on the warped tour. He said, “here, this is my crew…you should listen to it”.

I remember putting it in the Honda on the long drive with @harpoonlarry to the next town. I was riding shotgun, my feet were up on the dash, it was warm and sunny outside, and the long day had me slouching in my seat, a nap approaching swiftly. Needless to say, i didn’t catch a wink, and after about 4 or 5 mind blowing songs, i recall sitting up, totally wired, and saying out loud, “who the fuck ARE these people?!”

I am so grateful that @yeahrightpos gave me that CD, and that i did, in time, find out who those people were. Their music is so damn good, that just that would be enough, but the fact that over the last ten years, those people have gone on to become my friends, my bandmates, and my family…that is a real blessing.

Thanks for everything @doomtree. Thanks for the music, the love, the inspiration, the everything.
