checking in...
what up, what up, what up... hope everyone's enjoyed the new video we posted. me and jeremy had a lot of fun throwing that one together. we're trying to figure out our next one, as we speak. let us know if you've got any ideas.
had a pretty easy day so far. we've been working pretty hard these last couple days, trying to get ready for the shows next week, it's been great to have a day to just kick it. i've been frequenting this new coffee shop (i guess it's new) called crema, off broadway. nothing too fancy, just a good cup of coffee, plenty of outlets to plug in the macbook, and a great soundtrack of music from the likes of our good friends roman candle and keegan dewitt.
after i did the whole internet and coffee thing for a bit, i grabbed lunch with my buddy harrison (www.harrisonhudson.com) at san antonio taco company (SATCO, to the nashvillians). harrison's a great musician here in town, as well as an incredible photographer and graphic artist. he threw together our charlotte poster the other day in just the time it takes to watch "shut up & sing." (it's on demand all month long!) we talked about a lot of ideas we both had, including the need to interact more with our fans through the internet.
something i've been working on more and more is being consistent, whether it's writing songs, responding to emails, reading books, whatever...too often i feel like i go through these hot and cold streaks. so this is one of those things i want to be more consistent about, so hopefully, as long as anyone's interested, we can keep this up to date. at the very least, our parents will know what we're up to. (hey mom!)
but there are a lot of exciting things we have in store for everyone, including next week's shows. playing north carolina always gives us the exciting challenge of going out and trying to top the last show we played there, and we think this year will be no exception. charlotte should be a great night, we never know what to expect there. raleigh, get ready to party, especially afterwards because we're gonna dance all night. but for now, it's time to get back to work...

Cold Start (and Extended Stay)
Happy new year. hope everyone's 2008 has gotten off to a good start. so far it's been a cold year for pico, with our gas heat deciding to cut off just in time for one of the coldest winters in Nashville ever. But don't worry, in true global warming fashion, it will be 70 again in a few short days, and in true Utility company fashion, our gas will be back on a few days too late...
I want to thank everyone on behalf of the band, for coming out to our thanksgiving show in Raleigh. I think it's safe to say it was our favorite, though every year gets better and better. We have a lot of hope for 2008 (album this year, maybe?), and seeing everyone out, having a good time, confirmed those feelings. Sorry for the tardiness of the gratitude, but you know how these things are, it's thanksgiving, then next thing you know Christmas is coming, and then another Batman trailer comes out, and everything gets really hectic. but there you go, Thanks!
Lastly, i've been meaning to post a link to this amazing short documentary. It was made by our BFF and official photog Pamela Littky. It's called Extended Stay, and it's absolutely hilarious. Definitely for fans of the Office and Arrested Development. And it's only 12 minutes long! that's like 3 youtube videos! so check it out on her site, under the Director's Reel. She also has some sweet pics of Pete Wentz on there, too.

Keep rockin' '08!
