I’m grateful to be in the capable hands of this dapper gentleman, captured below dancing on account of our selling out in Sacramento earlier this week.

A few minutes ago, I interrupted Ryan “Bear” Drozd’s work flow - on a day off, no less - to vent about something only tangentially related to his job as tour manager, and I bummed him out. Bear’s infinitely capable and wants everything to run smoothly and everyone to be happy, and I barge in, bleating about this, that and the other thing, disrupting his never ending to-do list with middle-school level malcontent. My only real responsibility’s to play the show and be generally charming, and I assed that up. So, I apologize Ryan “Bear” Drozd. You are in all ways fantastic, and this is the best tour we’ve ever done.

By the time you read this, I’ll have bought you a beer, and all will be right in the world.
