1. In my time here, I’ve decided that Houston is the slightly awkward but entertaining fat guy that you meet in the steamroom. He’s a fun guy to hang around, and easy to get to know.

We played New American Classic by Taking Back Sunday, and I think it turned out pretty sweet; our friend Celia played violin for the song and it added a ton to the sound! Anyway, here’s our friend Ashley’s video of the performance: [...]
