Kiko	Feb 15 2008 9:59 AM Hey J, Hope things are well. I hope you guys are playing soon so I can come check it out. It's been pretty crazy since moving back. I've somehow got myself hooked into 3 different projects and playing all the time. I have to learn to say no... lol I just got an upright though so I'm looking to find some outlets for that in the near future. I guess I can now officially call myself a bass player... Talk to you soon, Kiko
